My Celing Fan blade is bent...

JF.K · Postby **JF.K** » January 19th, 2015, 10:38 pm

My ceiling fan came into contact with a tall ladder and one of the blades got bent.
I tried to straighten it myself but straightening one side causes another side to bend due to the thin material it is made from.

Can anyone say if there is a place that sells blades for ceiling fans?

Or if they know of a place that repairs/straightens them?

Thanks.

This is the fan here with the respective blades...

take all off the mounting bracket and twist/ bend till all line up properly with each other.

Bhagwansings sell replacement blades. ..

Did you get the weights to speed balance the blades?

This really cannot work since the material is very light and thin.
Bending to straighten one side of the blade causes another side not to line up.

Be careful when u bending it is cast iron and breaks easy

I am sure that I am not the first person to experience something like this...
So I'm only asking of those who had a similar situation, to advise on what they did..

There must be a way to rectify this problem without having to buy another fan altogether. Thx

use a vice grip or G-clamp to squeeze all 3 together so all bends the same way.

if it does break and it'll be hard to do so with the 3 back to back, you end up at square one having to purchase new blades.

Based on the extent of the bend damage it is not really possible to straighten it with normal "at home" tools... I tried.
Do u think machine shops do things like this?

I don't have a problem buying a new set of blades... but I don't really know where sells them.

The fan I actually bought from Pricesmart about a year ago, but they stop selling this model now.

Maybe try Agostini Interiors as a starting ground.
Can also be possible to see another design there and replace the entire thing.

This wouldn't have happened if you used a good lasko fan.

Depending on the model and brand of the fan there maybe replacement blades available at Agostini or online .

Its a good album tho, been listening to it recently. Pet , The Outsider and Weak and Powerless hold up really well for an album that came out over a decade ago.
