I have installed a hunter with remote control model 27185.
Ceiling fan running slowly.
Everything works including the fan.
Ceiling fans that operate at speeds slower than normal can have one of four problems.
Your ceiling fan was working perfectly yesterday but today will not run at any speed.
Ceiling vans have very little torque and almost any problem may cause the fan to run slowly.
It is at least 3 years old now and used to work fine at one time.
Loss of bearing lubrication and poor blade balance.
When i set the fan to fast using the remote it runs at the slowest speed of my other hunter fan.
Watch this video as this will help you troubleshoot and repair it under 10.
It s still not the time to call a technician though.
Generally fan creates humming sound at low velocity and the noise is not heard after a sufficient long run of a fan so that every part or bearing of a fan is to be greased.
How to fix a ceiling fan.
Initially i did not have the pull switch set to fast.
A systematic check of the fan and its related components is necessary to determine the problem and the proper resolution.
There are a number of potential reasons for this problem including mechanical as well as electrical.
The other two are electrical.
I turned the power off at the switch and pulled the chain and then turned the switch back on and.
I ve already checked to make sure that the wiring did not come loose and that everything was connected as it should be.
Hello i have a hampton bay ceiling fan that is functioning at a very low speed on it s highest setting.
Maybe you can fix your ceiling fan.
Hampton bay fan working at slow speed.
It s the only thing that cools the room at the bottom and keeps the air circulating inside an unventilated area.
Either a bad capacitor or damaged winding.
When i set it to slow it barely moves if at all.
The run capacitor stores charge and delays the current momentarily which gives the fan rotor time to turn and orient itself so that the induced magnetic force is effective.
Two of these issues are mechanical.
