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.

I suggest that you check the voltage unloaded and while the fan is
connected to provide a load. If you see a big drop, you will know there
is a bad connection somewhere and it is time for somebody with some
experience, either you or a pro, to track it down asap, because aside
from this problem, it is producing heat and could start a fire.
