If the humming becomes louder, deeper, or shriller, then this is also a sign that something has changed, and likely not for the better.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humming without turning most likely means that there is a breakdown in the translation of electricity into movement and normal humming may become problematic humming.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&rsquo;t Use the Fan to Prevent Further Damage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One caution before we get to the reasons why a fan may be humming and not turning:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you attempt to figure out the problem, <strong>be sure to turn the fan off immediately<\/strong>. Don&rsquo;t leave it on in hopes that whatever is stuck will come loose and the blades will start turning again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trying to use the fan when it is malfunctioning is a <strong>waste of both electricity and money<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the issue, <strong>keeping the fan on may also exacerbate the existing problem<\/strong> and generate damage that is expensive to repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reasons the Ceiling Fan Is Humming but Not Turning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stuck Ball Bearings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ceiling fan motors contain ball bearings&mdash;round, donut-shaped metal pieces that help the fan rotate smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, however, these ball bearings can become stuck, particularly if they are supposed to be manually lubricated and haven&rsquo;t been for a while.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing.jpg\" alt=\"Ceiling fan motor and ceiling fan ball bearing\" class=\"wp-image-18246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Ceiling fan motor and ceiling fan ball bearing\" class=\"wp-image-18246 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Ceiling-fan-motor-and-ceiling-fan-ball-bearing.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When bearings are stuck, then the blades won&rsquo;t rotate or will rotate intermittently<\/strong> as the bearings roll and then stick and roll and then stick.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the motor is trying to rotate the blades but this energy output is not being translated into rotational movement, then the hum develops or intensifies due to strain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The best way to fix this issue is to replace the ceiling fan bearings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to replace the ceiling fan bearings on your own, be sure to purchase a <strong><em><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08XVFSZTF?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\">new set<\/a><\/em><\/strong> <em><sub><sup>(amazon link)<\/sup><\/sub><\/em> online or at your local hardware store.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/ceiling-fan-direction-summer-reason\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"17796\">change in direction allows the fan to serve different functions in summer and winter<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On some models, this <strong>switch can get stuck in a neutral position<\/strong>. The fan will hum because the motor is running but the blade won&rsquo;t move because the electrical output is not being translated into work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your fan is new, it may have come out of the box that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To check if this is the problem, take a look at the switch. The switch will be located on the fan&rsquo;s motor housing. Sometimes it is not immediately visible, so turn off your ceiling fan and take a good look. It can also be inside the light fitting (beneath the shade).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have found the switch, check its positioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is squarely in the middle, <strong>simply flip the switch one side or the other<\/strong>. This should stop the humming noise and allow the fan to function normally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dimmer Switch Installed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your wall switch is a <a href=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/are-ceiling-fan-lights-dimmable\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2256\">dimmer switch because you want to control the intensity of the light output<\/a> of the ceiling fan, then this could be the issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A dimmer switch controlling power to the ceiling fan&rsquo;s light fixture may also be controlling power to the ceiling fan&rsquo;s blades.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will be problematic because the <strong>dimmer settings may not supply enough power to the motor to actually turn the blades<\/strong>. More seriously, this is a <strong>potential fire risk<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In such cases, you will need to <strong>replace the dimmer switch with a regular switch or a dual switch<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Loose Wiring Connections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Loose wires are another possible reason why your ceiling fan is humming but not turning. Loose wiring connections are most often the result of incorrect installation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This issue is mostly seen in newly installed ceiling fans because if the fan <em>was<\/em> working, then the wires were installed correctly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A loose wiring connection means that the fan is being supplied with power, so the motor hums, but the <strong>connection to the blade rotation is loose and, therefore, too intermittent or weak to rotate the blades<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fix the problem, first turn off the power to the ceiling fan at the circuit breaker. Then, remove the ceiling fan blades and unscrew the motor housing cover.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan.jpg\" alt=\"man unscrewing the ceiling fan\" class=\"wp-image-18247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan.jpg.webp\" alt=\"man unscrewing the ceiling fan\" class=\"wp-image-18247 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/man-unscrewing-the-ceiling-fan.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have a clear view of the wiring, tighten all of the wire connections with a screwdriver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that, screw on the motor housing cover and replace the ceiling fan blades.

If the capacitor is broken, then the motor is being powered, but this is not being translated into movement, so you hear a hum but the fan does not spin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The solution is to <strong>replace the capacitor<\/strong>, but only if it really is the problem. You can determine this by turning the power to the fan off at the breaker, removing the blades from the fan body, and unscrewing the housing cover. This will expose the capacitor, which you can test with a multimeter to determine if it&rsquo;s working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it is not working, you can proceed with replacement. Below is a video description of this process:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Replace the Capacitor in a Ceiling Fan\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zpc5MQvHGo8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faulty Remote Receiver<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the issue may be caused by a faulty remote receiver. This <strong>connects the fan mechanics to the power supply, so if it is defective, it may not be powering the fan<\/strong> as it should be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Happily, remote receivers are relatively easy to replace if you know a little about wiring. You will also have to replace the remote. You can get a manufacturer-specific set, but often the <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07WBYT5H9?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">generic universal ones<\/a><\/em><\/strong> <em><sub><sup>(amazon link)<\/sup><\/sub><\/em> are sufficient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a helpful video: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Install a Ceiling Fan With Remote Control\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EiIiI4037NE?start=342&amp;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hunker.com\/13401774\/what-to-do-about-noisy-bearings-in-a-ceiling-fan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.hunker.com\/13401774\/what-to-do-about-noisy-bearings-in-a-ceiling-fan<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.titan-cd.com\/en\/faq\/Cooling-fan-bearing.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.titan-cd.com\/en\/faq\/Cooling-fan-bearing.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?reload=9&amp;v=jINijGS9jPQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?reload=9&amp;v=jINijGS9jPQ<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zpc5MQvHGo8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zpc5MQvHGo8<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ask-the-electrician.com\/how-to-avoid-burning-up-a-ceiling-fan-with-a-dimmer-switch\/ceiling-fans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/ask-the-electrician.com\/how-to-avoid-burning-up-a-ceiling-fan-with-a-dimmer-switch\/ceiling-fans\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/homeguides.sfgate.com\/troubleshoot-wall-switch-ceiling-fan-62502.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/homeguides.sfgate.com\/troubleshoot-wall-switch-ceiling-fan-62502.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A noise while your ceiling fan runs is annoying.
