Some Common Ceiling Fan Maintenance Errors And Tips To Avoid The Same

Are you planning to carryout maintenance activities on your ceiling fan on your own? If yes, then just read ahead for some mistakes that you should never commit.
You have removed the fan from the hook and you are holding it in your hand.
You move your hand and try to hold it from the top rather than holding the ceiling head.
The end result is that the grip is loosened and your fan falls a few feet and hits the ground hard.
Don't do this.
The ceiling fan head houses the motor and is a most important part of the fan.
If this crashes into the ground at high speed, you can be rest assured that the motor will be damaged.
Keep in mind that even the slightest distortion in the casing is sufficient for the motor to malfunction.
Either the motor will start making a lot of noise or the lack of space will result in overeating and even a fire.
If you have dropped your ceiling fan, it is advisable to hand it over to the expert for a professional checkup.
If you have bought your ceiling fan down safely, make sure that there is sufficient clearance on all the sides until you remove the blades.
Do not place your fan in such a manner that the blades are pushed forcefully against any other object.
You would notice that the blades are very pliable and can easily be bent.
You may feel that you can easily un-bend the blades later.
However, once the metal blade is bent, you can be rest assured that it will never be brought back to the original position.
If you want to avoid such a complication, you should make sure that the blades are completely straight and do not face any obstruction whatsoever.
If you do not have sufficient space, you can ask somebody to hold the fan vertically so that you can simply unscrew the blades as quickly as possible.
However, do not make the mistake of placing the blades heavily against any object.
Also, do not place anything on the blade even though you are keeping the object very close to the top.
Even the slightest distortion in the structure is sufficient to render your fan useless.
Thirdly, do not make the mistake of ignoring the electrical connections when you are removing the fan.
Take a look at the connection and keep track of the exact color coding.
You should follow it to the last letter when you are reinstalling the fan.
