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.

Call back the tech who installed the fan. He didnt properly do balancing for the fan

Not normal, claim warranty.

Maybe you pay him peanuts?

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.

Cukurlah, my ceiling fan sound like washing machine. Can you imgaine trying to sleep?

They need to properly balance the fan.

installation tak betul, please reinstall

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

it is an easy job for them + much cheaper

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

download more ram will do

Send to tire shop yo do balancing amd allignment

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.

This kinda stuff u sendiri DIY fix also can

Later coin flies off become Ninja Star how?

But seriously, why 2nd and 4th blade?

No, not this model.

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

How to fix bro???

I farking hate DIY. Install PC i know lah,...install lain i dunno.

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.

kasi screw semua ketat ketat

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

Really? Not they install wor. Got charge??

Ok bro...will try. Thks.

Ko cuba tgk installation wiring kipas tu ada tak satu dawai dia skru jugak?
Kalau takde bende tu ko kena cheat

Dun understand. What wiring kipas? You mean wiring at the ceiling there???

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

not the fan's fault
the technician did a lousy job installing it

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.

Bring to foreman there do alignment and balancing

Buka the case and see what's going on

When u hold screw driver u know what u want to do. Trust me.

But mine is 5 blade....not 4 blades...

classic stuff when exchanging old kipas to new one

they malas to change the mounting n use the old , harden rubbers which no longer "gives" to new rotating hence wobbly

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.

Call KDK office. They'll send someone to come and make the necessary adjustments. FOC

I think i saw he replace the black thing in the U near the ceiling there...is that what you meant?

yea. did he make any cuts on it?

i was hoping it just mounting issues if its not its something more serious then

Cuts?? Dunno wor...

Anyway, i think i will call KDK support to come...

I have 3 KDK fans (2 4 blades and 1 5 blades) 6 years ago. After installation, the fans wobble... call KDK for balancing (FOC) and the fans have been functioning without any wobble until now

Thanks bro. Will call log a support service at their website. Will probably be after the long holidays.

Remove the fan install aircond instead. Guaranteed no wobling.

Duh. Already got aircond. Everyone knows that adding a fan makes the room temp much better distributed and maybe save you some electric bills.

ur house need some balancing adjustment

If metal blades, you can bend the blade up or down to balance it out. If the motor hub is not balanced, then need to return.
