I just installed the second fan.
Same problem. takes almost 6 seconds to make 1 rotation on the slowest
speed.
high speed is about 60rpm.

Time for a volt meter check.

just curious.. what if i do check it and its low.
what will be needed to do?
the people upstairs have a ceiling fan and it works fine.

You should have 120 volts available from the house wiring. That's
all. The same as what you have in the receptacles that have working
appliances plugged in.

Better yet just lay the two wires across a normal 100 watt light bulb
and see if glows bright. That's even better than a volt meter.

Usually Black is hot and White is neutral. The other wire is ground
and can be about any color or bare copper.
