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, Pls advice. Thk you. This post has been edited by Matrix: Aug 30 2017, 10:13 AM |

QUOTE(sevendogz @ Aug 30 2017, 10:31 AM) 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 Later coin flies off become Ninja Star how? But seriously, why 2nd and 4th blade? This post has been edited by Matrix: Aug 30 2017, 10:41 AM |

QUOTE(westley0214 @ Aug 30 2017, 10:39 AM) Is it this Sensa 5 model? No, not this 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. But i believe it's not the casing wooble. Can see the middle thing holding the blades wobble. |

QUOTE(Rusty Nail @ Aug 30 2017, 10:16 AM) Ceiling fans are designed to be balanced. Probably the guy did a poor job installing it. How to fix bro??? I've installed 3 fans on my own. None wobble.  I farking hate DIY. Install PC i know lah,...install lain i dunno. |

QUOTE(sevendogz @ Aug 30 2017, 10:53 AM) 2nd and 4th same with 1st and 3rd or 1st and 4th, it is to make sure that the weight distribution re adjust But mine is 5 blade....not 4 blades...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 |

QUOTE(karyeowl @ Aug 30 2017, 11:14 PM) 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.  |

QUOTE(budi1413 @ Aug 31 2017, 12:00 PM) 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. |
