Ceiling Fan Keeps Turning On And Off

When your ceiling fan is not working properly and it keeps turning off and on, it is very likely that this is a problem with the electrical motor. One of the first places you can start looking into is the ceiling fan wiring. There are certain wires on the ceiling fan that need to be reconnected to ensure that all power is shut off in case there is a problem later on.

If the problem is not electrical, the ceiling fan itself could have some sort of issue. The blades on the fan could be worn or they could be warped causing the fan to not spin as smoothly as it should. It could also be that the weight of the person who is using it could be causing the motor to twist the blades. In either case, they are going to need to replace the fan as soon as possible to prevent the problem from getting any worse.

If the wires are to blame, then it is time to go to the local hardware store and purchase a new ceiling fan. Make sure that you find one that is manufactured by the same brand and company that the original was. This way if there is a problem with the fan later on, it will be easier to match up the brand with the fan. You may even find that the original outlet is no longer available or has moved to a different part of the city and this means that you will have to buy your ceiling fan from somewhere else.
