Listen to the guy who says call kdk. They will send someone to balance it FOC if within warranty.

Panasonic and KDK both did that for me.

grab a random construction site worker from nearby construction site to fix for you

it is an easy job for them + much cheaper

that one also need, fix fan is most simplest job. All you need is the ceiling hook, a ladder and a screw driver.

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.

Later coin flies off become Ninja Star how?

But seriously, why 2nd and 4th blade?

2nd and 4th same with 1st and 3rd or 1st and 4th, it is to make sure that the weight distribution re adjust
there is another thing that may cause wobbly, simply go up and check all the screws were tighten CORRECTLY so to avoid wrong alignment
tape a coin with the tape wrapping over the front blade is safe

the nut too tight. the technician shouldn't tighten it as it will not have any free space and it will wobble. normally just screw it until pass the hole and insert a secure clip as to not let the screw being screwed out in the long run. many unexperience technician will screw it tight and did not put a safety clip/pin which comes together with the fan. there is also another safety wire which can hold the fan in case if it drops down. touch wood will not happen

U take tangga and panjat turunkan cover kipas yang atas tu. Yang bulat tu. Dia boleh slide down. Bila turunkan akan nampak wqyar sedikit neutral earth live. Ada satu dawai sepatutnya di skru. It must be screw.

The blades are easy to detach using screw drivers. Just swap one with the opposite side until u find a good balance.

Do balancing by adding a little weight on the one that u suspect underweight.

Adjust the location of the weight to balance it, ( nearer to the center or further away)

do not tighten the nuts which hold the U on the ceiling. it is meant to be loose and it has a safety clip\pin to prevent the loose not from coming out.
when you tighten it, the fan will get wobbly as what you are experiencing now

Many ceiling fans come with balancer to be fix on blade but normally not needed. I would say the installation was poorly done. I installed all fans on my own. It is not that hard.
