Does anyone else's fan wobble? I just bought this fan and it seems to wobble a little bit on all 3 speeds. Also, it seems that the tilting feature moves around if I try to aim it down slightly and turn on the fan. Anyone else have issues like these?

Yes these wobble like mad, and it's very easy to break the bolt securing the yolk to the pedestal when moving it if you're not careful. The motor is pretty strong so if your floor is the least bit uneven the fan will wobble. It may also be the pedestal itself is slightly asymmetrical. Try stuffing a matchbook or folded up piece of paper under an edge like you would a wobbly coffee table. As to the tilting issue, try tightening the thumb screws more securely or buy new nuts/washers to go behind them.

Hi, The fan is great. It tilts down as well as straight ahead. This is one of the quietest fans I have in my house. Hope this helps

Yes, I have the same problem. I have learned to work around it. I make sure that I turn the main switch off, when I am not using the fan. I will check the channel switch, as suggested by other users. It is a very good fan, I would not replace it.

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 bought one last year and the third time I used it I started having problems with the fan. The fan won't starting running until after it has been on for about 5 minutes. I still use it but I'm sure it's going to completely fail soon.

When you first turn on the fan, it will not oscillate at all; if you want it to rotate, you have to press a button to choose between 60, 90, 120, or 360 degrees. It's a good fan, I'm glad I purchased it.

I am having trouble attaching a light kit to this fan. The pull chain mechanism is in the way when I try to attach the light kit. Any advice for that? I thought it was the light kit so bought another (the one Amazon recommended with this fan) and have the same issue.

I had the same "complaint" as the first answer-er. I was disappointed to see that the fan only stands 38 inches tall. But it's super quiet..so I just have it set up on some boxes for now.

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 showed F when the top assembly did not sit properly on the base. I could see that clearly the top and base alignment is not perfect. I'd take the assembly out and make sure it sits properly on the base then it'd show all fan options. Hope this helps.

I posted this in the 40XBR4 'fan noise' discussion. Look on page 47 of your manual in the troubleshooting section. The 'whirring noise' is the cooling fans -- it's not a defect.

The fan on ours goes off often, but no, no buzzing. Is it still under warrantee? We had to use our warranty, and although lengthy, the customer service was able to (fina;;y) help us.

Hi, yes this is normal. It only polls one fan, the other fan is slaved to that fan. It cannot make them both spin at independent speeds.

Do you have the fan light pull cord 'on'? Plus the fan speed pull cord is suppose to be on 'high'? It tells you that you need to have them set this way; mine has worked perfectly for the last 3 months. Only other thing I can think of is; that the connections in the remote in the fan are not connected good or they are not tucked up where the fan blades don't bump into it.

Hi Joe, I have bought several of these types of fans at my place of business. I have them on constantly and have had no trouble. Might need to be cleaned after a while of use. The only reason for the price difference i can see is that one fan is a little bigger and throws more air faster at a higher rate . The smaller lasko's work well too but dont move as much air. So your application should be taken into affect. Hope this helps!

is the fan leveled? Mine is a bit loud but that's just the fan. Honest I got used to it being a little loud
