Don't put ceiling fans on dimmers

- Putting fans on dimmers causes strain to the fan motor because a fan takes 120v to operate and a dimmer only 90v. The motor strains to muster enough energy to get going causing serious wear on your fan. This house in Roswell shows a clip of the living room fan completely worn out due to being on a dimmer. The second shows the bedroom fan in the same predicament but still barely going. If you listen you can here the fan struggle to get up enough energy to operate. Without proper switching these fans will continue to need replacing about every year!
My grandmother had a Hampton bay set to a dimmer switch. When you increased the throttle and that 60z hertz buzz got louder.... damn....
Wow
Lutron says that their dimmer goes up to 115 volts, and dimmer usually lowers voltage by chopping current. Chopping current can confuse volt meter to read lower voltage than actual.
Wow really??!!?!?!!?
@@Texas_siren_fan125 Yeah. If it was only 90 volt then it would be obvious that light wouldn't go to full brightness.
Okkk
The 2nd fan is on a solid state variable speed control because there’s no chain that turns on the fan
Make sure the pullchains are all at high speed. Replace the dimmer with a switch
Your dog is so cute the one that laid on the bed😊
The controls u have are not dimmer switches, by the fact you rotate to on versus push on or off, they are called solid state variable speed controls, and they are not bad if used on fans that have in the manual suitable for use with solid state speed controls. Otherwise the fan may be noisy if not designed for use with solid state variable controls. Now if dimmer switches were used at the least your fans would no longer work, and at the worst your house would have burnt down! The new fanimation ascension ceiling fan is suitable for use with variable speed while a hunter design house may not be! Always read the installation manuals first before they installing!
Yep u right
Some dimmers are rotate to on, and they start with minimum. Most solid state speed control start with maximum.
these are definitely dimmer switches.. solid state controls start out on high speed, and definitely won’t fuck up your fans like this..
also dimmers are not really likely to burn your house down, if anything the fan will overheat and the thermal fuse will shut it off…
Number 2 bergkamp ceiling fan
Also it's fine if fan runs lower than 120 volt as long as it's steady drop. Capacitor based speed control does steady voltage drop, while the dimmer just causes chopping current, which makes buzzing noise, and also some net DC which can actually burn out the motor.
Don't put dimmer switches their bad.
Here are the steps that you need to do:
1.remove it
2.give it to someone to keep or trash it
Or reuse it on light fixture!
All the dimmers to my Grammy and grandpas ceiling fans and they work amazing
Wow
Are they fan speed controls or light dimmers?
The pull chain gotta be on for it to work on the dimmer usually
That second one is very loud.
Yeah it’s very noisy because the ceiling fan doesn’t like the dimmer switch
Wait this hosue is from roswell!? Thats 7 mins from where i liver😂
The second ones very loud humming noise scared the heck out of me
The 2nd ceiling fan was making noise
poor fans😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞
Don't record videos in portrait mode
lol
You think that fan is noisy? I've been sleeping through a two stroke pull-start for years. Just be careful when putting on a shirt.
Wtf a two stroke ceiling fan?
@@rainbowrailroadcrossing7798 r/wooosh
That’s why ceiling fans on dimmers can buzz
0:16 that's the same sound as the ceiling fan in my mom and dad's room
Except theirs is a Westinghouse/Westy
Really? That sound is probably not good especially if it is a modern hunter fan
The second one is a Savoy House Charleston Ceiling Fan.
0:16
Where are they installed?
They can be fixed. But dont use dimmers.
+Noah Adamcik What do you think?
+Noah Adamcik Maybe it's just a capacitor that worn out.
Use a fan controller made for ceiling fans. They usually have 3 or 4 settings and use capacitors to adjust the voltage without changing the wave form.
Yup
@@billybassman21 i think they adjust by changing wave form
0:06-0:17 what kind of ceiling fans are?
0:06 Hampton Bay landmark
A hampton bay landmark
Umm no. Look at the blade bracket tho.
0:16 noisy ceiling fan because it's on a dimmer switch.
The ceiling fan is loud but like landmark plus
What’s the second ceiling fan called?
i just put it on lol
Why not use an ordianry switch with remote controls?
Please dont let it run for to long or it will burn out the motor it's just for your fan
Ceiling fans on dimmers can destroy the motor or overheat or worse you could create a fire hazard
Can you explain why please? I have a table fan & at lowest speed still very high to my desire. So I’ve been thinking of attaching a dimmer
Yousef Alhumaid search on google about ceiling fans on dimmers
Yousef Alhumaid search for dimmers for ceiling fans
Have to use a fan controller that uses capacitors and have fixed speeds.
I know this is old but did you use a light dimmer or a fan dimmer?
I went to a hotel once and they put a little rainbow 30 inch hugger fan on a dimmer and i was so mad when you would turn it on low it can be herd from outside
What instrument do you play me the fan
Need a fan controller that uses capacitors, they have 3 or 4 speeds.
My country Australia had dimmers on there ceiling fan taking 240V and doesn't wore out at all. Tell me how?
Cause you current is at 50z hertz
Oh. For Australia, there are generic ceiling fan switch things that are on a plate that also contain a regular switch for any light that may be attached. The fan control would be marked with a fan symbol, and light dimmers would be marked without a symbol in the middle.
I had mines on a light dimmer, it was like crying to me to change the switch. And It has a varispeed switch on it now
0:17 what is that ceiling fan
Some Westinghouse or Hunter
I think it's a harbor breeze or a hunter
At 0:06 it's a Hampton Bay
Savoy House Charleston Ceiling Fan
The first fan might be an Encon Monarch
What’s the second fan?
The second fan is a Savoy House Charleston.
@@CfWcaT Thx
@@TheExitSignDudeOfficial yw!
The bearings on my old Original were shot. But then I moved and never saw it again.
this is what i would NEVER do to a ceiling fan if i would put on a wall control it would NOT be a dimmer
What’s the black fan called
The master bedroom fan is an Savoy House Charleston
Light dimmers? Light dimmers can harm the motor and cause fire.
Does the first ond even run anymore
Probably not
My cousin it does sound like his old house and his new house
Old fan was not dimmer but it hums so little loud one hampton bay Maplewood and new house was walmart chapter hugger
Mmmm they are dimmer switch is bad motor it could hot! And burn motor out
I don’t get it
I like fans
Very bad for the motor never do that
OK
