If your ceiling fan is wobbling (and annoying you in the process) you don’t need to invest in a new one. Here’s how to make your ceiling fan run silently - or at least close to it.
 

First, check the blades to see that they are firmly attached and tightened. This could be the culprit, so turn on the fan to see if you’ve fixed the problem, if not, keep reading.

Next, turn off the power to the fan at the circuit breaker and remove the canopy at the top of the fan (up by the ceiling). Make sure the junction box the fan is attached to is secure. If not, tighten the screws.

If this hasn't fixed the problem, check for a bent fan blade. Measure from the top of a blade to the ceiling, and then move the fan by hand and measure the distance form the next blade to the ceiling. The distance should be the same for all the blades. You can remove the bent blade and try to straighten it or replace it with a new one. Or, attaching a weight from a balancing kit to the middle of the bent blade will help fix the problem.
