  If your HAMPTON BAY Fan is making noise, consider the following: * Ensure all motor housing screws are snug. * Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight. * Verify that wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the interior wall of the switch housing. * Allow a 24-hour 'breaking-in' period. * If you're using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware are tight, and check that the light bulb is also secure. * Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from solid-state variable speed controls, so choose and install another type of control if you've installed this type of control. * Also, make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling, ensuring it does not touch the ceiling.

If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation. * If the blade wobble is still noticeable, use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit.
