That is so simple it's brilliant. You saved me a lot of time and money trying to troubleshoot the electrical components. Thanks!

[@Landoniousiii]

Pure straight genius. The description was perfect. I always switch the direction summer/winter, but today the summer direction (counter-clockwise) didn't work. Buying a new fan or tearing this one apart were not appealing options, bending metal with my bare hands was a lot of fun and totally worked. Good work sir.

[@SarahGulley]

This…was exactly the fix we needed! It’s a little embarrassing how many summers we put off fixing it because we didn’t want to pay an electrician. Thank you!

[@SilviaWright-u7n]

Absolutely works I did it in about 3 mins!!!! Thanks again it definitely worked!!!

[@mlind1150]

Tried this after taking it apart and failing to find the problem. My fan is about 25 years old, and I don't really care about the winter setting, so it took about 5 minutes to bend the blades, and then I leveled them by sight: no wobble. Now it's permanently on summer setting, which is fine. Good idea.

Great advice! My fan was having the same issue. I used some compressed air to blow off dust from the connections and then used the contact cleaner. Problem solved!

YOU SHOULDA BEEN A GENIUS,,,,,,,my reverse switch broke, i was thinking of replacing it,,,,,,,,, looking at videos for help and came across this one, much like the posts below, i thought it would not work you can not possibly benD those blade holders,,,,,,,,,,,,,i was AMAZED at how easily they bent , and not only that , you could bend them back to original position ,NO STRENTH NEEDED,,,,,,nay sayers need to try to see how easy this is,,,,,,,,,,took less than 5 minutes ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,HAWWW im still AMAZED

[@ska7man]

Dude that is brilliant! I have the exact same fan and was thinking how I could reverse the blades without having to take the thing apart and sure enough they are so cheap I bent all of the blades in less than a minute! Thanks!

[@minkyb00tle]

he shoulda been a genius

[@letsiki]

Thought about it but never tried it believing its sturdy. Thanks a lot

[@thenguyenfamilly6002]

Worked for me. Genius idea

[@un_ramdom423]

Omfg i actually did this and now u am cool as heaven

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

I hope the video is just flipped. If it only spins in 1 direction, I would try to replace the reverse switch first.

[@timetryp422]

Good luck finding one - no one sells them.

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

@@timetryp422 Google “slide switch with 6 pins”.

[@mrfranchize02]

This worked perfectly for me!

[@BlackLocustMusic]

the stress from bending will finely break them. Possible severe injuries can occur.

[@minkyb00tle]

WRONG

[@joew3536]

that's not a good idea. those blades are precision balanced. if you don't have them all exactly the same it creates a wobble that can cause things to take apart. and yes, stress on the blades from bending can cause it to break. and of its on at the time someone can get hurt badly

[@minkyb00tle]

no wobble ,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@vlozza]

exactly. stick to trucking school

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

I hope this is not really true. I would just try replacing the reverse switch first.

[@ryan_staralliance5864]

How hard is it to replace the reverse switch

[@timetryp422]

@@ryan_staralliance5864 You can't find them. I tried - no one sells them.

[@LyleVertigo]

Thanks alots, same problem, same solution.

[@CJ-sy9mx]

That is not a good solution. The best solution is, find the reverse switch. For your model, it is located on top of the fan. It is between the ceiling and the motor. You cannot see it. But, it is there.

[@saucedgamingnetwork4394]

It worked, for now.........

Mines stuck in summer...what do I do?

Wait until Summer.
