I have a ceiling fan goes Groan Groan Groan. As soon as turn the power off

Any idea on what to look for when I take it down and open it up.

Thanks

I had one like that. I thought that the motor was a goner.
It turns out the the hub was a little loose on the shaft and had slipped
down a little to where it was scrapping on something.
I raised the hub slightly and tightened it and removed a handful of
metal scrapings. It now runs great.
