What to do if my Westinghouse Fan does not start?
If your Westinghouse Fan does not start, begin by checking the main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers. Then, check the wire connections. Ensure the forward/reverse switch is firmly to one side or the other, as the fan will not operate when the switch is in the middle. If it still won't start, contact a qualified electrician to troubleshoot the internal electrical connections.
Why does my Westinghouse Oasis wobble?
To address wobbling in your Westinghouse Fan, make sure all blades are screwed firmly into their holders and that all blade holders are tightened securely to the motor. Also, verify that the canopy and mounting bracket are securely tightened to the ceiling joist. If the wobble persists, try interchanging two adjacent blades to redistribute the weight, which may result in smoother operation.
How to reduce noise from a Westinghouse Fan?
If your Westinghouse Fan sounds noisy, first ensure all screws in the motor housing are snug (but not over tightened) and that the screws attaching the fan blade holder to the motor are tight. Also, avoid using solid state variable speed controls, as some fan motors are sensitive to their signals. Allow a 24-hour 'break-in' period, as most noises associated with a new fan should disappear after this time.
