- When a ceiling fan makes a clicking noise it’s usually because some of its components are not securely seated or fastened. Watch this video for troubleshooting tips for eliminating this issue. For more great tutorials, visit MyEmersonFan.com/AsktheRandys
Can't hear the audio; my fan's too noisy.

HUH!!!?!
Yeh
WHAAAAT ???? Can't hear ya !!!
Nice
Only watched one minute in, grabbed a ladder and a phillips screwdriver and fixed the issue just by tightening the blade screws. Wish I would have known how easy the fix was years ago! Thanks Randys!
That was great guys thanks very much. I found a loose screw in the hanger ball. Simple, easy fix I would never have found if it wasn't for your video. Much appreciated!
Looks great, and with a brighter bulb installed that’s all the light you need. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxWF88GpljEn-0o34vtLFazEQ5h5Q33SjU As far as ease of installation- this was my first ceiling fan and it took about 3 hours because I had no idea what I was doing and also it’s helpful to have a second set of hands and a magnetic drill bit. Works great.
Our fan has a switch for the light and then another switch for the fan power and speed. The fan makes a roaring noise at every speed. (not a blade through the air noise, but an electric motor roar)
If I slide the speed switch through its range, you can hear the roaring noise change in pitch. (normally loudest as I pass through the mid point slowly)
The old fan made the exact same noise, so we replaced it thinking a bearing was bad. To our surprise, we have the same roaring noise issue with the new fan.
It is an old house with old wires and no ground wires, there is only one black and one white wire going to the switch box. The white wire is from a separate line from the black line. The switch has a black, a red and a red/white line to attach the wall lines to it. It had the black to black and the white to the red solid wire. The red/white wire is not connected to anything and the green ground is not connected (plastic box, so nothing to connect it to)
Also, the fan switch has an on/off switch and a slider to control the fan speed, in case this makes any difference.
It almost sounds like a motor that is trying to spin with not enough current or volts. (although the blades turn at a high speed)
The new fan is not a high-end one, (Hampton Bay $85) but I would like to think all new fans do not make this noise. It is loud enough to keep you from sleeping with it on.
Everything is tight, and spins freely. Everything mechanically looks fine. I believe this is definitely an electrical issue based on everything I have examined on it.
Any ideas on what may be overlooked?
Found a couple of blade screws loose and it stopped the sound!!! Thank you Randy and Randy
I did exactly as you said, tightening everything, but both fans - front room and bedroom - still squeaked. I checked Fan One again and as I moved the blade, I heard the squeak. I rocked the fan from side to side - more squeaks. The hanging ball was rubbing against its support. I eventually sprayed the two metal balls with Blaster Teflon dry lube - presto, quiet!
That just seems odd that tightening a couple of screws would fix a click, click, click. But, it worked! Thanks.
My fan only clicks when it's on the fastest setting. Its annoying
And the slower settings aren't fast enough to cool you down enough. You're experiencing insomnia either way.
Mononoke Hime lmaoooo I’m dealing with this right now at 4am
Same
Killin it as always Randy. Randy, you need to pick up the slack
😁😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for all the suggestions to try, that was very helpful. And I love the blooper reel! Great idea!
*Love it! Keeps the room very **Fastly.Cool** . The manual states it comes with a year warranty and 5 year part replacement. The compressor makes the typical sound...small price to pay for AC.*
Thank you, thank you for this video, I got my husband to watch your video and he did what you said and it's fixed, Hooray, thank you.
Yeah, another "honey-do" item completed!!
I will try myself..you guys made this sound so easy! LOL
Just fixed mine -one of the blades was loose at the base. I removed the bulbs, removed the bottom cover and tightened the blade. Fixed!!!
Thank you for this video. We have 5 ceiling fans and every one had a least ONE issue that needed attention !! Thanks again. After a full inspection, oil and tightening these puppies are PURRINGH now !!
Techy question for you.
Ceiling fan with 3 speeds on the pull switch hums when on.
Fitted a 4 speed and off wall switch, set the fan to fastest speed 3 and wall switch to slow 1 - and fan is humming significantly quieter with fan rotating at similar speed to original pull switch speed 1.
So what part of the fan electrics would cause pull switch Speed 1 (the speed normally used) to hum more than speed 3 ?
You 'da man! Fixed it right away. THANK YOU!

Please show us on how to lube the bearings on a sluggish noisy ceiling fan, takes a lot to turn, when off, blades stop a lot sooner than when new.
Dear Randy's,
What could be the problem when fan blades won't turn without assistance in the beginning, then it will only go slow. Can't pull chain to change speeds?
Very likely a faulty capacitor.. easy change
I tried a screw driver didn't work maybe not using a right one or are they fastened tight
I tightened the screws on the fan blades and the click, click, click is gone, gone, gone!! Thank you so much.
I just installed a ceiling fan yesterday and it worked fine but today the light will not work unless the fan blades are turned on. Why is this. I pulled the wiring back down and it all looks good
One of my Emerson fans is having this problem... it doesn't make as much noise when it is on the fast speed. Also, the control hasn't worked for most of its life. I took the batteries out so it wouldn't act out. I hear beeps anyway but got used to it. There were a lot of beeps before the noise started. It drew me upstairs to check on it. It has on occasion changed speed and direction without any prompting. Twilight Zone!
Hi
Can you help me how to stop the noise from a stand fan.When its on the sound is so loud but the fan is working well.
Thank you Randys....... now I know how to fix it!
All of my screws were tight. The blades were equal spaced. It only hums at certain temperatures. I caulked around the base and it cured my problem. ☢️
Wobble can also cause noise, in which case balancing kit can solve it (if it's the blades themselves that are out of balance).
Had my old lady tighten up my hanger ball. All good saggy
Great video! Thanks for the tips!
how to solve the touching between ceiling fan rotor and stator .This touching make irritate noise in the working time
shamseer SHMB I need this! The rubbing grinding sound!
Thank you so much for this video. 2 of the fans in my house were making noise, and so I made sure all the screws I could reach were tightened, and wala, no more noise.
Also, the Randy on the right sure has a lively personality. Lol 😉😂
I think it might be the set screw on the hangar ball
Very helpful! Thanks!
What about a fan that runs on LOW even when I hit HIGH or MEDIUM
My cealing fan is all wobbly! What can I do to fix it ? Everytime I turn it on it wobbles like it's going to fall down on top of my bed anytime ... can you guys help me ??

It’s the first video
@@gamingusher.k2437 I did and I actually figured out that it was not balanced so i used the small weights , and it solved the problem .... thank you ...
frank escorcia oke glad I can help
Thank you Sir
Here's one for you. Fan is quiet when the reverse switch is on, but clicks when the fan is blowing the air down into the room. Suggestions/
It is funny they keep saying, contact a licensed electrician for assistance. If you are not comfortable doing electric, contact a licensed electrician. If you do the electrical, and it still doesn't work, contact a licensed electrician. The only reason DIYs do it themselves, is because licensed electricians are expensive. A licensed electrician isn't going to assist you, they will want to do it and give you the bill. They don't like getting calls from people looking for free advice. At least not anymore.
What’s the point of your comment ? They are simply giving you advice . Don’t like it pick another video .. that should fix the whine in your attitude
Good tip to call a licensed electrician
Impressive nowadays have cult that called Emerson Ceiling.
Thanks, just fixed my fan's clicking noise, now if only I could find a bulb with candelabra fit with 1600 lumens and is 2-3 inches tall to fit inside the globe would be great. Or a 6 inch tall globe that fits around a bigger, brighter bulb.
Very Helpful.
I heard a "popping" noise when I turned on the ceiling fan and now it doesn't work (the lights still work, but not the fan). Might you know what happened?
Can somebody please for the love of God post a before video that shows the actual sound that the fan is making so that those of us watching can confirm if it's the same sound that you're talking about in the video? I have the fan making a very annoying loud screeching sound and I just can't seem to figure it out but it doesn't sound like it's clicking at all the blades are not loose nothing is loose it is making a very annoying and loud squawking screeching sound but I can't figure out what it is.
Thx
dude i went 2 years listening to my fan squeak nonstop and it’s fixed by simply tightening some screws
Wow I actually fix it
Hurry up!
Stop the background music
We don't even know that fan makes noise I mean may be it is already fixed who knows
Who would've thunk.....a lose ball ....
My shit shakes side to side and makes a click every rotation😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
its very funny that they "turn the power back on" by turning off the power switch
Yikes!
They didn't cover anything about oiling the motor lol.
