How can I stop my ceiling fan from wobbling?
+3
It just seems unlevel and a little loose from the ceiling. This just doesn't seem safe with 3 kids running around. I was told to tape some quarters on top of the blades to help level them out. I'm just hoping there is a better way...thanks for any suggestions for how to fix a wobbly ceiling fan.

I use washers on the blades to balance the fan. Just move the washer around on each blade until it stops wobbling. I do check to make sure the fan is secure to the ceiling. Most fans do come with weight clips in case they do wobble.
sometimes changing the blade positions will do it.
They make a sticky magnetic tape rectangles for just that purpose. Its the same substance they use for magnetic business cards on your frig Check out the ceiling fan section of your hardware store or big box store.
Your fan didn't catch the lock position, between the ceiling and the fan. Make sure it's secure and make sure the blades are level. Place a lightweight level on each blade to make sure it's level.
