It's not flush with the ceiling, has about 1/8th inch all around.
It worked good for 3 months, now it's wobbling like mad.
I don't know much about how to fix or replace the box in the ceiling
the fan is attached to.
How much wobble is normal?
How can I fix the fan, box, or both?
thanks
NO wobble is normal. Sounds like a poorly done installation that is
falling apart.
Does it need a new box?
Reason I ask is, the fan is as high as possible on the box, it cannot
be moved higher.
I'm the one who installed the fan and it worked perfect for 2.5-3
months, now the wobble.
All the screws are tight.
Would shims around the base to make it tight work or be safe?
thanks to all.
