How To Use A Ceiling Fan Balancing Kit

[@johnbecich9540]

Wow. That WORKED. I installed a brand new fan and it wobbled. The user's instructions had nothing on "how to balance" but a balancing kit was in the box. I didn't even know what that kit was, until I watched Del Mar's video on this point. THANK YOU.

[@kenm6948]

I agree with everyone who expressed their appreciation for a short and concise video. No need for a ten minute rambling explanation.

[@Vera-xu3xw]

AMAZING a guy can make a 2 minute video an give all the details in that short time. I wish more KZbinrs were like that. Great video thanks. My reply took longer then your video lol

[@Delmarfans]

Glad to hear!! :)

[@danielrubio6675]

Del Mar Fans & Lighting same here!! Thanks guys!!!

[@visnu0045]

😂😂😂

[@Pedro38627]

Wiyhout loud heavy metal shit music and long introduction

[@MrBlacksmith527]

Thank you for actually making a short video without a bunch of useless information in it!

[@loonietunessteph3283]

your video was the the clearest description and best demonstration that I have seen. sensible, no swearing and easy to understand. Good job.

[@CC_Marauder]

8 years on and you helped this knowledge seeker. TY

[@peba-mhz8520]

Vielen Dank für dieses Video !!! Mein Lindby Deckenventilator hat auf höherer Geschwindigkeit sehr gewackelt, er "eierte" ziemlich. Dank diesem Video, das ich 1:1 so befolgt hab, konnte ich in wenigen Minuten das Rotorblatt identifizieren, das unrund lief. Dann hab ich an der richtigen Stelle auf dem Blatt eines der mitgelieferten Gewichte angebracht auf der Oberseite. Seitdem läuft der Ventilator schön gleichmäßig, und nix wackelt mehr. So wird auch die Verankerung der Befestigung nicht beschädigt. Bin sehr zufrieden und möchte Thank You for this video sagen. Beste Grüße von Peter aus MV (Germany)

[@patstenzel]

Thanks for this, I wish all youtube videos got to the point like this one, short promo with clear instruction

[@Avacarho]

Thanks for a short and to the point video. My new ceiling fan came with a balancing kit, but the included directions were confusing.

[@Delmarfans]

Glad we could help! :)

[@johnnyfaber8089]

Thank you sir. I will be buying your kit just because I liked the video and you didn't make me sit through ten minutes of annoying commentary.

[@Delmarfans]

Johnny Faber Glad we could help! -Alexa

[@jhebertdelacruz4900]

+Del Mar Fans & Lighting i have a four bladed ceiling fan but it doing the same wobble

[@soundsgenuine3855]

Bought 2 set of new fans, the other set is good, no wobble. The other set, gave me headache, checked all the screws is tight and firm.. Finally found this great info, thank you so much.

[@dortot1]

Thank you. The fan I have does not have blades at unequal distance from the ceiling, nor bendable arms, but that wobble is there. I think this video is one of the better ones for showing the best way to use the weight balancing kit. Thank you.

[@twistedtomatoful]

Thank you for simply explaining this is an easy to understand manner. I always over complicate things and you've just cut through all my crap. You rock.

[@martinhahnheuser4752]

Thumbs UP Colby. Sorted my irritating noisy wobble out in just a few minutes. Thanks for the video. Best of Luck.

[@user-xv2oj1sm5l]

Wow, the best step by step instructions on how to balance a ceiling fan!

[@akasterisk]

I appreciate the link to the try-this-first video. I watched both videos. The hardware store is on the way to the house I'm working on. I can always return it if I don't need it.

[@MrBassface85]

Thank you for the straight forward explanation on this. I love that there isn't a lot of fluff that I needed to sit through to get to the tutorial. Great vid!

[@billyrobinson3469]

Great video boss! I like that you didn't waste a bunch of time didn't try to sell too much and didn't say too much that was going to confuse normal type people. Great video! Good knowledge!

[@1nharmony]

All three of your videos have given me helpful information. Cleaning the blades with a pillow case is genius! Now I'm going to see if I need a balancing kit by checking everything else first! Thanks for your time!

[@Delmarfans]

1nharmony Awesome! Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions! So glad we could help. -Alexa

[@peggypoche1128]

Yes, everything was excellently explained. All points of information were easily transitioned, too. I type this to you in total silence - without a wobbly ceiling fan. Thanks so much!

[@JackLigny]

Thank you so much, I bought one with 5 blades and it worked fine at once, so I bought a second one and the wobbling became an obsession till I came to watch your video, simple, clear...you deserve an Oscar from the "Fan" Club.

[@natevanlandingham1945]

Nice demo. Never knew exactly how to use on of those kits. The clip I didn't know what it was for. But I also never read the instructions. Fans I have bought before came with those kits in them.

[@97crab]

Thank you sir! You fixed my problem in 2mins.

[@jasonlubin101]

Your video is succinct and well organized. After I try out your advice, I’ll let you know if it actually works.

[@trappbu559]

My fan was swaying & rocking and scared me to death! Fearful a blade might decapicate someone. Now it's balanced and quiet. Thanks for walking me through and getting straight to the point on fixing my fan and getting it done☑

[@jeremylee7761]

I'm a builder and a handyman, I've built and installed more things than I can remember, including many ceiling fans. I have never had to balance one and actually didn't even know how. thanks for the tips, now I'm off to fix a fan.

[@djsavage2421]

Thank you so much for a very descriptive video on how to get this resolved I just bought the kit it just arrived I’m going to tackle this tomorrow God bless you keep up the good work

[@tenncutt]

Good video, i just hung a fan on a 24 inch drop rod and it does wobble! Not for long though. Thanks

[@sarahstone9075]

Great video for us old timers. So good to be able to get this information you provide.

[@philipfm]

Never thought about using weights. Got to buy a kit. Thanks for the video

[@chris-rg4hy]

thanks great help, i bought 2 fans 1 was terrible on high,now spins smooth,cheers!

[@terryshaw1134]

Nice video, short, to the point, with things to try first.

[@copperdolphin5291]

Thanks for the info!! though, I can't measure each blade as the ceiling slopes. (from the previous comment) I will try measuring from the same spot on the ceiling to see if that works to find if some of the blades might be sagging. Our blades are hardwood and highly curved so I doubt they would sag much.

[@egpetiluna]

Hi Thanks for the tips..But how we will know if there are more blades not balanced?

[@stevenschoenfeld7405]

Another tip is to measure the distance of each blade from the ceiling to the the blade tip. If one or more is different grasp the metal arm and bend it accordingly. That helped immensely on my fan.

[@001GenLee]

Going to try this soon on my ceiling fan as it has a slight wobble. It should help it.

[@dgjrllrivera0610]

I have always had a hard time trying to balance the blades of a fan, this video really gave me good tips on how to troubleshoot the issue, tks

[@jimsimonitch7614]

Short and to the point. Excellent video. Thanks

[@InCountry6970]

Straight forward and easy to follow, great video

[@aclacl4806]

Thank you. Exactly the info I need. What if the fan also "screeches"? All the screws are tight.

[@WeatherNut27]

I agree with the majority here. Excellent video that makes KZbin worth watching. 👌

[@KutWrite]

Good job! Hope my balancing goes as well. Turns out I didn't need to balance. Going back to measuring each blade fixed it.

[@tommaestro7356]

Had the same problem, thought a lot about what to use for balacing.This video gave me the idea.Thank You :)

[@MarioEHdez]

Thanks for this, very easy to follow and helped fix our wobbly fan.

[@mrroboto2010]

Excellent "how to" video. Thanks!

[@sandip4570]

Great video.. found what I was looking for in this short video..yet you explained everything neat

[@WayneWBishop]

Thanks so much dude. Checked my stash and actually had one of these balance kits on hand. Save me a lot of headache!

[@dustinanderson6527]

Do i have to use the balancing kit weights? or can i use some other form of weights? just wondering if the weights have to be the exact weight they have in the kit.

[@harrygilder6264]

Very straightforward and helpful

[@EdwinPWeston]

Thank you, loose screws at the very top, so glad I did not skip the beginning!

[@dustinhansford8270]

Only thing I want to know is, does it matter if the clip's on the leading or trailing edge of the blade? Also you want the fan direction counter clockwise correct?

[@rashmisathe3877]

Video helped with the clear instructions. thank you!

[@ktirre2871]

This might be what we need to do. I think we can even manage this ourselves--thank you so much!

[@brianbaskett8436]

Best simple instructions I found

[@beachbummm69]

good video, simple directions anyone can follow

[@petermurphy9804]

Concise and and well produced.........thank you

[@Trance_Kitsune]

Holy moly this is the best channel ever! I have a Hampton Bay fan that is great for providing a whirlwind of air but it WOBBLES at the highest speed with a weird creak at times. Going to try out this balancing kit after trying the wobbly fan tips in your other video. Thanks for providing this information! :)

[@drewgrgich]

Perfect sort of DIY video. Straight and to the point.

[@rodolfojr.corton8242]

Thank Mr Del Mae for the tip

[@melindagray1378]

Good, short video. Easy instructions to follow.Thank you!

[@Bergwacht]

is there a link to the fixing video? klicking on videolinks on screen is no more workign on youtube

[@stevesorlien2952]

Just what my electrician did. Thanks!

[@oscaramartinez3]

Thanks for your video, my fan came with instructions no pictures, so I wasn’t making progress. Now, my fan is working perfect. 😃👍🏽

[@isaacmoss9950]

Thank you for sharing with us.It saves us a lot money

[@mikewe9842]

Your intro song should be round and round by Ratt. 😂. Seriously though. Great vid. Thanks for posting quick fix. 👍

[@brandonwhirles8628]

This video was a big help

[@kirknason1234]

Great video, short and to the point

[@lamarnewson4935]

Right on time with the fix-it video Thank You.

[@bobbreneman5912]

Excellent video. Very to the point, easy to follow

[@edfladungsr.4748]

Thank you very much for this series on fan balancing. Excellent!!!

[@DaveOakland]

My fan blades don't have a height adjustment. If you add advice on tightening screws that attach the blades to the motor mount and, again if in the fan design, any blade rib screws then the video will be complete. Thank you for your videos, Colby.

[@Delmarfans]

Thank you, Dave. We appreciate your feedback!

[@user-he3sn1vv6n]

Excellent tutorial-thank you!

[@cwa107]

Sad that brand new fans can't be correctly balanced from the factory and have to include one of these kits. But thanks to your video, I was able to do this quickly and easily. Thanks!

[@SchneckenTrinkenFanta]

Is it possible to use that fans on a sloping ceiling?

[@brianchapman1496]

Great video. Your instructions were spot on and easy to follow.

[@colinbernard3542]

How do you stop a humming sound that only happens in one direction, and not the other? The direction hums only in counterclockwise. Also it's only a 4 blade fan, and the installation was not flush with the ceiling, if that helps you understand the situation more. The button is located on top of the blades as well.

[@chrisrodriguez6305]

Thanks for the tip. I didnt have the balancing kit, so I used one of those dollar store clips/clamp thingies for sealing a bag of potato chips closed and it worked perfectly.

[@rkgsd]

+Chris Rodriguez You're the best! I had one on a potato chip bag clips around so I borrowed it to at least see if I could do some fan balancing. It worked. Now I will wait for the magnet and put it in the same spot (inner part of blade).

[@KirbyJr]

Do brand new fans have a wobble? I thought replacing an entire fan would help but still wobbling.

[@SeanMatyja]

Very simple, I'll give it a try on our fan, thanks for the video.

[@Delmarfans]

Great, Sean! We hope it helps.

[@ChevyToughRebel]

Exactly what I needed, thank you!

[@robertterrell9704]

Very instructional!! Great step by step demonstration! Thank you!

[@vijaybajwa]

Very nice, very clear. Going to try today. Thanks!

[@glafkosobion9085]

Installed my first ceiling fan yesterday and was shaking a bit. After the method with the balancing kit there should be zero shaking or would be normal to shake a bit?? Thanks!

[@Delmarfans]

Glafkos Obion Thanks for the question! Your ceiling fan should not be shaking after using a ceiling fan balancing kit. Try tightening the screws on the canopy cover, mounting bracket, downrod and blades. Check out our guide to balancing a ceiling fan here www.delmarfans.com/educate/basics/how-to-balance-a-ceiling-fan/ Hope this helps! -Alexa

[@DevonaBHunt]

Does it matter on what balancing kit to order for a fan? I have Hampton Bay, can I use your kit? And also thank you for your video very quick and easy

[@bulett71]

mine twists when you turn it on i've checked the bolt above the lights what do you suggest?

[@GoneForGood22]

this video helped me balanced out my grandma's living room fan

[@Mushaz]

How much weight is the clip and sticky pad?

[@Fatamerican1]

Thank you, that was quick and painless.

[@royallhawaii]

Glad I found your video... Never had the problem before and now I have 3 to take care of.. Thanks.

[@robertfields7993]

Simple very understandable video. Now I just gotta go make it happen. Thanks

[@samsen201]

Great job of explaining this problem in various steps and what is to be done in a correct and precise algorithm. Then must admit your power to pass the concept in least amount of time (Unlike many others here that make redundant comments or talk unnecessary stuff, thus keep adding to the length of video runtime for no reason) makes me to immediately subscribe to your channel. Thank for your great work and two thumbs up.

[@RR-oj5jg]

Thank you I just watched this and I will probably be able to fix the wabble in the fan myself.

[@johnslater5921]

Thanks, excellent explanation, and video.

[@317web4]

Amazing Job!!!! Going to fix mine tomorrow.

[@troquero54]

Thanks Coby. That was so,so,so helpful. Thanks buddy.

[@aldee3018]

hi just saw you video and it looks easy but i noticed on my fan that not all the blade are level. when i turn the fan on i can see that one or more blades are higher than the rest. my question is will the kit still fix the wobble?

[@Delmarfans]

Thanks for the question! Please shoot our experts an email at [e-mail] or give us a call at 800-724-5501 for further help with you balancing your fan! -Alexa

[@stocksystm]

I was going to balance the fan (which was making an annoying clicking noise) and found two screws holding a couple of the blades were very loose. Just tightening these fixed it.

[@eros64]

stocksystm did it kinda sound like metal clicking together?

[@genebradfield9932]

GREAT VIDEO! NICE AND SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT! AGAIN, GREAT VIDEO!

[@caroletanner4854]

Clear and simple directions. Thanks

[@petr777er1]

Thank you, sir, the way you explained it was really easy to understand
