Default Ceiling Fan is 'rocking' violently

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



I wouldn't be using that fan until the installation mistakes have been
fixed. Ask friends & co-workers if they know an electrician they've been
happy with in the past. Electrician because if the installation is
mechanically incorrect, there's a good chance the wires may be funny too.




You should also check to see if the fan blades mounting bolts are all tight.
