Step 2 · Inspect Fan Blades and Mount

Visually inspect each fan blade for any signs of cracking, bending, or warping. Ensure that the screws attaching the blades to the blade holders (arms) are tight. Check that the blade holders are securely fastened to the motor housing. Gently try to wobble the entire fan unit to assess the stability of its mounting to the ceiling junction box.
