Troubleshoot A Harbor Breeze Ceiling Fan

You may be able to repair your malfunctioning ceiling fan without much effort.


The Harbor Breeze line of ceiling fans is offered exclusively at Lowe's home improvement stores. As the Lowe's store brand ceiling fan, these fans give consumers the opportunity to purchase an attractive-looking fan without paying name-brand prices. If your Harbor Breeze ceiling fan begins to fail, you may be able to save time and fix it yourself before contacting the store or company for service or advice.


Instructions


Fan Not Moving


1. Check your home's fuse box or circuit breaker to make sure the fan has power. Replace the fuse or flip the breaker, if necessary.


2. Turn on the electrical switch that controls the fan unit, if your ceiling fan uses one.


3. Pull the fan control chain that hangs from the unit to make sure the fan is turned on.


4. Flip the fan reversal switch in either direction to make sure it is engaged. The switch is located just below the fan blades.


Fan Movement Unsteady


5. Tighten all screws attaching the fan blades to the mounting brackets, turning them clockwise with a Phillips screwdriver. Turn the fan on to see whether it still wobbles.


6. Turn the fan off if it still wobbles. Unscrew the screws holding one fan blade to the mounting bracket, turning them counter-clockwise with the Phillips screwdriver. Remove the blade.


7. Remove a fan blade on the opposite side from the one you already removed in the same manner.


8. Switch the two fan blades and reattach them to the mounting brackets. Align the screw holes in the blades with the holes in the mounting brackets, and screw them back in, turning clockwise with the Phillips screwdriver. This should balance the blades if the unsteadiness was caused by unbalanced fan blades.


Tips Warnings
