Why is my ceiling fan popping?

Answer by  tardis (42)

The most common cause for the ceiling fan popping all the time is the problem with the ceiling fan bearings. Over time, dust gets accumulated on the bearing which in turn cause the sound you are hearing. The best thing to do at the moment is to get bearings cleaned by the professional.

This depends on what type of popping your fan is making. If you see electrical charges then you've got a major problem that could be a danger for your family and home. Stop using the unit immediately and call an electrician. However, it that's not the case, check the fan's security to the ceiling as maybe only tightening is needed.
