I have just installed a new ceiling fan, but it looks a bit woobly to me when its on. I remember the old fan also not wobble like this.

The new fan is a 5 blade KDK fan. Is it normal? Or the jalat eletrician done a lousy job???

Thinking to call the electrician, but i think he will give me standard answer "Biasa bang, memang macam tu, PotongKDK mah"

Pls advice.

Thk you.

do test the wobblyness of your fan blade by slowly raise your head closer to the fan while it is spining

The fan may fall off the ceiling and injure someone.
Replace with table or standing fan.

For KDK fan, please call the warranty center and they will send in a technician to balance the fan.

Ceiling fans are designed to be balanced. Probably the guy did a poor job installing it.

I've installed 3 fans on my own. None wobble.

re attach the 2nd and 4th blade, and probably it will balance out, if lazy, just tape a 10cent coin to one of the blade randomly

Is it this Sensa 5 model?

Mine also the same. It's normal to be slightly wobbling. The thing that wobbles is not the blade, but the casing covering the shaft.

No, not this model.

But i believe it's not the casing wooble. Can see the middle thing holding the blades wobble.
