When a ceiling fan is not properly oiled, it can start making bothersome noises. This is why you need to make sure that it gets lubricated at least once a year. If you don’t do this, the parts of the fan will wear out faster than they should and it will also affect how fast the fan can spin.
In addition to oil, you also need to clean the fan regularly. This is especially important because the dust that accumulates on a ceiling fan can affect its performance. In fact, it can actually cause the moving parts to rub against each other which makes them wear out faster.
First, you need to make sure that the fan is completely off. This is because you want to ensure that you can safely access the oil hole. In most cases, this will be easy to do, but in some fans, you might need to take off a piece of the fan to get to the oil hole.
Next, you need to make sure that you have the right type of oil for your fan. You will want to use motor oil that doesn’t have detergent added to it. The specific kind of oil that you need will be specified by the manufacturer.
Many people will recommend using WD-40 as a lubricant for ceiling fans, but this is not a good idea. This is because WD-40 is not an oil-based lubricant. Instead, it is a water-displacing type of lubricant that can damage the metal parts of the fan motor.
