I had same problem with 2 year old fan in Living room, after
much work, took fan down tightened everything checked everything, I
replaced fan with higher quality fan. That was 5 years ago, no
problems since replacing. I've had a cheaper fan for the last 8
years and when this happened I took the fan down, cleaned it, oiled
it and put it back up. Fans attract dust and dirt and should be
cleaned every 3 - 4 months.
