after we installed the fan there was a significant gap where "down rod" goes into the canopy, is there a way to fix it?

The fan works smoothly and distributes air very well. The speeds are good for our use. There is one glitch - it cannot be installed on the same circuit as dimmable lights because the electrical signal for the dimmable lights creates a conflict within the response mechanism of the Minka Aire and it shuts down. Changing the fan to another circuit was more difficult and expensive so we had to do away with our dimmable lights - which we really miss. Other than that this is a great fan.

If you are referring to the piece that fits over the ceiling fitting, I have the same problem. It seems to be a design issue with Minka. There should not be any gap on the bottom.

Check your installation. There is no gap on my fan. Any chance you used an after market rod? I purchased a longer rod from Minka and had no problems. Love the fan----quiet and powerful.

Our control knob is not crooked and quite secure. The gap is approx 1/4 inch.I suggest you return it.

did you install it, sounds like a loose connection, need to strip back more insulation on the wires that go from stranded wire to solid wire maybe, if not the fan is most likely defective

There were two downrods in the box. According to the instruction manual one is a "standard downrod" and the other is a "minimum length downrod (for close to ceiling mounting only)". I'm sorry but I cannot tell you what the size of the standard one is because we discarded it. The fan is now installed so I measured the exposed space of the minimum length downrod and it is two inches. The instruction manual does not give length specs for either downrod.

Sorry we have no idea. We put ours in the existing fan which already had the frame and cut out.

You may be able to find a shorter downrod, but i think you need it. The fan sits pretty close to the ceiling as is, with the included downrod. Good luck

No. Unfortunately they can't be from what I saw. We have a vaulted as well and ordered the length of downrod the installer suggested and the fan looks great.

Hi , i would personally suggest you to get a different rod. These tend to sag in between after sometime. They also fell on my head :(

27" from ceiling to the bottom of the light fixture. It needs the downrod. The downrod is part of the structure of the fan. There is approximately 2" of the downrod that (maybe) could be eliminated.

It can not be installed without a down rod, if that is what you are asking. My fan only had one down rod included with it. I didn't use it because I purchased a 4 ft. rod for my cathedral ceiling. As I recall the one that was included was about 6 inches long. I am very pleased with the look and performance of the fan. The only change I made was to buy white glass globes to replace the original because I felt they were too dark.

Short rod of about 2.5" (when installed) was required. Rod was supplied with the fan.

I would check tks connections and make sure the fan is spinning alright as that is off the low beam. Otherwise call customer service for a replacement. I've had mine for a couple months now with no issues but defects happen

This has happened to me before, and I usually find that adjusting the seat completely upright and making sure the canopy is all the way back does the trick. Hope that helps!

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, i´m studing it yet.)

Mine came with a short downrod, which, when installed, set the blades about one foot below the ceiling (just enough space to allow proper airflow)

email or call broan, though i have not had problems with this product, after talking to them, they have mailed out free of charge replacement trim for another fan that had rusted; they may be able to mail out replacement foam or better!

There is no chord or place for a chord on the actual fan. I suggest contacting mink aire.
