If after installation your fan wobbled a lot....how were you able to correct it?

I can't remember if the fan came with a balance kit because my fan doesn't wobble even on high speed. Only reason it would wobble is if it is not balanced. May be able to get a balance kit at your local hardware store or big box stores

Not really. It runs perfectly. Might be a blade out of balance or at the wrong pitch. Do you notice a wobble at all speeds or just high speed? The only drawback is that it doesn't emit very much light. The room is like a dungeon without other lamps on.

We have two of these fans and use them regularly. Neither of them wobbles. There were weights that came with the fan in each box and you can stick them onto the top side of the blade(s). I'm assuming the weight would be placed toward the end of the blade, but don't know for sure. Perhaps you can search the Internet to find out the best placement or technique when using weights on a fan blade. Good luck.

Mine is also very wobbly... I just left it how it was because I didn't know what else to do. We don't have much action around it so it has been fine the couple of years I've had it now.

No. You might not have it seated properly (installed correctly) I think I had that problem when I installed mine

adam w evans answer seems like a great answer. I didn't have the problem you describe, nor have I had to adjust the screw mentioned.

I'm sorry but I'm really not sure. It's been awhile since the fan was installed. Your best bet is to check with the manufacturer.

I had to install shims and other boards to make it less wobbly. I works now but out of he box it didn't. I almost sent it back but there isn't a lot of options in conversion rails. It ended up working but I got creative.

I didn't have that problem at all. If the fan in the projector can cause that much vibration, I think there might be an issue with the fan.

You probably have two options. One is to see if there was a parts list included in the packaging. If so, you may be able to order a new one. And, sorry to say, the other option as a last resort would be to buy a new fan. I am going to assume though that there is a parts list. Good luck!

Sometimes this problem can be fixed by switching two blades opposite each other. My fan only makes a slight humming sound on low speed which is normal and does not wobble. The only other suggestion I have for you is to make sure all the screws are tight. If they are not, this could be the solution to your problem.Hope this helps!

Yes, my fan has some play but it feels like it is 'spring-loaded'; I thought it was intentional so it wouldn't go from pointing up to pointing down without a sturdy push into position. It feels to me as though the play is intentional; so that the movement of the fan blades wouldn't cause the entire thing to wobble.

This is a terrible fan, I spent a lot of time attempting to balance the blades but it still wobbled a lot. I bought 2 of these for my deck and both are now in a box in the garage as they have been replaced and the new fans are great. The lights were ok but the fan wobbling was unacceptable.

I have had this same thing happen to me after only ONE WEEK! Same answer.....tighten spring, re-install. This issue gives you an impression that these units are not made well!

Unfortunately, the screw will not tighten well enough to keep the fan in place. Yeah, mine just flops too. Find your desired position and wrap a piece of tape around the fan and one of the clamp handles. Looks terrible, but works perfect. The fan itself works pretty well, but its made pretty cheaply.

Contact the seller, I had a fan problem with mine and the seller took care of the problem very quickly.

Actually, the vents might be on the side. I don't recall exactly. But you should be able to see the fan blades through said vents. I'll bet they're no longer turning.

Hi. First of all I think I had the lamp shade upside down. The light bulb was showing. My husband turned the lamp shade over and the light bulb doesn 't shoe but now the lampshade wobbles. I have to take time to figure it out. I love the lamp but it 's just not right

You can fix the fan yourself. This user posted a video showing how to do it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjRDjOL8nCYMy penguin model started to develop a whirr, so I followed the instructions in the video and it's now back to quiet. If your fan is totally dead and you're out of warranty, it's easy to replace. It's just a standard 2-pin 80 mm computer fan. They run about $5 on eBay. Unscrew four to six screws on the bottom of the basin, lift off the top or bottom section, unscrew four screws holding the fan, disconnect the fan connector (it's not soldered, just attaches to a pair of pins on the control board,) plug in the new fan and replace the screws.
