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.
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)
AMAZING a guy can make a 2 minute video an give all the details in that short time. I wish more TH-camrs were like that. Great video thanks. My reply took longer then your video lol
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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☑
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.
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! :)
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.
+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).
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.
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.
Wow! Love how simple the steps were explained on how to balance your ceiling fan. Thank you for the awesome information. It is greatly appreciated. Happy New Year and God Bless!
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!
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?

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.
Johnny Faber Glad we could help! -Alexa

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!
8 years on and you helped this knowledge seeker. TY
Thumbs UP Colby. Sorted my irritating noisy wobble out in just a few minutes. Thanks for the video. Best of Luck.

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

1nharmony Awesome! Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any questions! So glad we could help. -Alexa
Thanks for a short and to the point video. My new ceiling fan came with a balancing kit, but the included directions were confusing.
Glad we could help! :)
Your video is succinct and well organized. After I try out your advice, I’ll let you know if it actually works.
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.
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

Good video, i just hung a fan on a 24 inch drop rod and it does wobble! Not for long though. Thanks
Thanks for this, very easy to follow and helped fix our wobbly fan.
Had the same problem, thought a lot about what to use for balacing.This video gave me the idea.Thank You :)
Great video.. found what I was looking for in this short video..yet you explained everything neat
I agree with the majority here. Excellent video that makes TH-cam worth watching. 👌
Short and to the point. Excellent video. Thanks
Video helped with the clear instructions. thank you!

Thank you, loose screws at the very top, so glad I did not skip the beginning!
good video, simple directions anyone can follow
Thank you for sharing with us.It saves us a lot money
Bought the kit today.... Awesome Thanks for your video
Perfect sort of DIY video. Straight and to the point.
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.

Bravo, c est assez simple de vous voir faire . Je vais persévérer 😊. Merci
Hi Thanks for the tips..But how we will know if there are more blades not balanced?
Great video. Your instructions were spot on and easy to follow.
Excellent video. Very to the point, easy to follow
Thanks so much dude. Checked my stash and actually had one of these balance kits on hand. Save me a lot of headache!
Good job!
Hope my balancing goes as well.
Turns out I didn't need to balance. Going back to measuring each blade fixed it.
Excellent tutorial-thank you!
Thank You, Colby this saved me a lot of time.....

Very nice, very clear. Going to try today. Thanks!
Exactly what I needed, thank you!
Straight forward and easy to follow, great video
Concise and and well produced.........thank you
Great video, short and to the point
This might be what we need to do. I think we can even manage this ourselves--thank you so much!
Excellent "how to" video. Thanks!
Thank you very much for this series on fan balancing. Excellent!!!
Great job of explaining this problem in various steps and what is to be done in a correct and precise algorithm.

Very instructional!! Great step by step demonstration! Thank you!
Best simple instructions I found
GREAT VIDEO! NICE AND SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT! AGAIN, GREAT VIDEO!
Thanks for your video, my fan came with instructions no pictures, so I wasn’t making progress. Now, my fan is working perfect. 😃👍🏽
Amazing Job!!!! Going to fix mine tomorrow.
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.
Thank you, sir, the way you explained it was really easy to understand
Glad I found your video... Never had the problem before and now I have 3 to take care of.. Thanks.
Awesome video! Totally needed this

Very straightforward and helpful

Very simple, I'll give it a try on our fan, thanks for the video.
Great, Sean! We hope it helps.
Terrific video. Informative and simple. I'll let you know if this worked.
Thank you. Exactly the info I need. What if the fan also "screeches"? All the screws are tight.
Pretty fancy, thanks for the how to worked quite nicely. Gotta love TH-cam!
Great video and so simple to understand. Thanks.
Thank Mr Del Mae for the tip
Awesome! Fixed my hunter flushmount in a jiffy!
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!
mine twists when you turn it on i've checked the bolt above the lights what do you suggest?
Simple very understandable video. Now I just gotta go make it happen. Thanks
Thank you, that was quick and painless.
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?
