- 1). Spray the sides of the "Speed" selector switch or knob on the ceiling fan's base with electrical contact spray. Spray lubricant contact spray into the hole for the the hanging cord connected to the fan's base.
- 2). Place a spirit level on one of the blades to check whether it is level and balanced with the ceiling fan's base. Loosen the screws at the end of the blade with a Phillips screwdriver and readjust the blade until the spirit level bubble is between the two lines on the scale. Tighten the screws at the end of the blade. Repeat this procedure with the other two blades.
- 3). Tighten all of the external screws on the ceiling fan's base and blades with a Phillips screwdriver. This will eliminate any stray noise being made by loose screws causing the blades to wobble.
- 4). Turn off the power to the ceiling fan. This could be a matter of turning a wall switch to the "Off" position or turning off a circuit breaker in a fuse box. Remove the screws from the ceiling fan's ceiling plate with the Phillips screwdriver. Inspect the wires inside the plate to be sure that they are making a good connection with the junction box contacts inside the ceiling. Unscrew the screws on the junction box that are holding the wires connected to the ceiling fan. Spray the contacts on the junction box with electrical cleaner spray. Reattach the wires, and screw them in. Place the ceiling plate back on the ceiling, and reattach the screws. Restore power to the ceiling fan's circuit.
