Crest 4500

This is my old 52" Crest 4500. It was bought in 1988 at Hechinger. The original contractors installed a variable speed dimmer switch for it, so after 20 years of use, the motor buzzes a lot on all speeds. It had cane blades, but we reversed them. It's installed on a 13' cathedral ceiling and covers the living room, dining room, kitchen, and entryway.
In this video, I'm just cycling the speeds so you can hear the buzzing. It's worse in the medium speeds, but it does make some noise on high and low as well.
As of June 2008, it was replaced with a Casablanca Panama. A video will come later. Enjoy!

0 ceiling fans are safe for dimmers, dimmers are for lights. Some industrial ceiling fans are safe for a solid state speed control (fan dimmer).

if the fan is hooked to a light dimmer then that's why its making noise. they say not to use those on ceiling fans because it causes a buzz and likely burn the motor out.

With solid state controllers, the fan(s) don't go very slow depending on the amount of fans, and they are primarily for industrial fans that would go in a gym, warehouse etc. Solid sate controllers are best used on fans frequently used on medium to high speeds

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

+Calvin DeJong Some solid state speed controls have minimum speed adjustment, so you can have a slow low speed without any stalling speeds.

The culprit was that dimmer switch not the fan motor itself and using wrong dimmer switches can cause the motor to overload or even worse it can cause a fire The solution to fix the culprit was to replace the dimmer with a standard toggle switch And if your ceiling fan has a pull chain speed switch.

There is a difference between electrical noise and friction noise. Oil only stops friction noise. The buzzing you hear is an electrical noise, it’s caused by windings dealing with chopping current from the solid state speed control, and it’s not from friction at all.
