Typical Fan Problems

If the fan doesn't move when it's turned on, check to see if the switch is faulty or if the individual circuit has been switched off in the main panel box. If the light isn't working, make sure the bulb isn't burned out.

If the fan is noisy, it could a problem with loose fasteners in the motor or switch housings, a loose light fixture, damaged blade or dry bearings. If it wobbles or vibrates, it's generally because the blades are loose, bent, cracked or out of balance or the fan is improperly mounted. If the remote isn't functioning, check its batteries before calling a professional.

Fan Quality

Letting your service professional know what quality fan you have will help him better determine what it might cost to fix it; ie., the higher the quality level of the fan, the more time and effort it might take to fix it.
