    • Examine the fan. Step one is to simply examine the ceiling fan. Climb up and get close. Take a careful eye to the entire thing. Check for dirt, grime, and dust build-up on any part of the fan.
    • Clean the fan. Step two is to clean the fan thoroughly. This has a twofold effect. Many times, dirt and dust simply gunk up the fan and cause the noise.
    • Check the blade screws. If simple cleaning doesn’t fix the problem, it is time to check the blade screws. Ceiling fan blades often slide into a notched opening and then are fastened with screws at the base to hold them in place.
    • Replace or balance the blades. If none of the blade screws are loose or missing, then you might have bigger issues with the blades. Turn the fan back on and check to see if the unit looks unbalanced.

    If your fan has a light fixture, make sure all globes, shades, bulbs, and any other fixture parts are snug. Most globes and shades are secured with thumbscrews and are easy to tighten by hand. Don't use tools on these, as you're likely to overtighten the screws and possibly crack the glass.
