Ceiling Fan Blades
A ceiling fan blade replacement is necessary when you have a warped ceiling fan blade, a blade out of alignment, or a damaged blade. If the fan is humming, making noises or appears unbalanced, but the blades are not warped, you may be able to use a blade balancing kit. Be sure to try this first before replacing a blade – assuming your blades are not warped or damaged.
Ceiling Fan Blade Arms
If your ceiling fan strikes something while it is turning, it could damage a blade arm. Blade arms cannot be repaired (generally). If one becomes warped for whatever reason, you will need to replace the blade arm. Luckily, blade arms as well as blades are relatively inexpensive to purchase.
Ceiling Fan Remotes
A ceiling fan remote is one of the most common replacement parts when it comes to ceiling fan issues. There are many reasons as to why you may have to replace a ceiling fan remote. The remote may simply not be working, and you’ve tried changing the batteries. One thing it’s suggested you try first is read through our Ceiling Fan Remote Troubleshooting Guide. There are many considerations that should be made, and a number of different troubleshooting techniques to try before replacing the remote.

This includes glass globes, capacitors, pullchains, and other parts.Replacement glass globes are sometimes needed for Harbor Breeze fans, when attempting to take apart the light dome. Sometimes it may be best to have a friend help you remove the light dome, because it can fall down and that is how the globe gets smashed.Harbor Breeze Pullchains are a particularly common replacement item.

Hunter Fan Parts
Hunter replacement ceiling fan parts like pullchains, motor parts, replacement Hunter blades, remotes, glass globes for Hunter fans and more.A replacement Hunter blade becomes a requirement, when a fan blade becomes warped. How do you know if the fan blade is warped? Each fan blade should be the same height from the ceiling. If any fan blades are out even a little bit, inspect the blade closely. Does it appear warped? You can also look at the fan blades from the horizontal – pay attention if any appear to be out of alignment compared to the others.If any do not measure the same distance to the ceiling, you can try using a blade balancing kit. The fan blade will be less than an inch off from the other fan blades. Using a blade balancing kit will help to correct these issues. Follow the instructions that come with the fan or see our blade balancing kit page. -

Ceiling Fan Capacitors
Replacing a ceiling fan capacitor is needed from time to time, usually due to wear and tear on the ceiling fan. Diagnosing when a capacitor replacement is required is the first step to replacement. Once you have ascertained that the capacitor does have to be changed, finding the correct replacement with the right ohmage and watts is the next step. The capacitor you pick must also fit in the same place as the existing one as well.This page will help you to determine what capacitor will work with your ceiling fan, and how to change out the existing capacitor when the time comes.
As much as everyone would prefer for ceiling fans to last forever with no repair or maintenance, inevitably many break down. Sometimes remedying the issue is as simple as replacing a common part. Also, if a fan is taken down or disassembled some parts may become lost, however in many cases the fan is not worthless as parts can be replaced.
The first step when you need a replacement part for your ceiling fan is to contact the manufacturer. The fan may still be under warranty and so if a part failed you maybe be entitled to a free replacement. Also, many many MANY parts are specific to a particular brand and so generic replacements cannot be used. Most manufacturers that are still in business offer replacement parts for sale for their specific fans through their customer support service.
Parts:
1. Blades
Generic replacements are available through most Home Centers. These fit most basic style imported fans, and can be drilled to fit other fans. Replacements for more expensive and/or American made fans are available through lighting showrooms and fan retailers. For specific models contact the manufacturer of the fan. Blades are one of the easiest items to replace on current model fans, many fan retailers sell blades separately for new fans so replacement sets are easy to purchase. See our page on Ceiling Fan Replacement Blades for more information on properly replacing your blades.
2. Blade Arms
As with blades, many Home Centers offer generic replacement sets. These are also designed to fit the most basic styles of imported fans, and will not fit older fans and more specific fan designs. For specific models contact the manufacturer and possibly also the retailer that carries the particular brand.
3. Capacitors
This is a common part to wear out with age in older fans. It can easily be replaced, however make sure you replace with the specifically rated model. Replacement capacitors are available through most venues that sell ceiling fan parts. See our Troubleshooting Guide for more information, soon we will have a specific page on Ceiling Fan Capacitor Replacement
4. Downrods
Most newer fans use very standard downrods. Downrods are sold in either 1/2″ or 3/4″ inner diameter sizes, with either threaded or non-threaded ends (you can usually use a threaded downrod in place of a non-threaded one). You determine what type of downrod your fan uses, and then pick your length and finish.
5. Flywheels
Replacements are available for many common fans, see our Flywheel Replacement page.
6. Motors
Unfortunately, if the motor in your fan requires replacement, you are generally out of luck. However it is rare that there is an unrepairable problem with a ceiling fan specifically relating to the motor. Usually it is a related component such as the capacitor, or the bearings may require oil (or replacement), etc. See the Troubleshooting Guide for more information
7. Mounting Bracket
It is unlikely (not to mention tragic) that a ceiling fan mounting bracket should ever break. It is, however, one of the most common parts lost when a fan is relocated. Most imported fans which mount with a downrod use a very standard mounting bracket available at hardware stores and Home Centers. For more specific mounting brackets contact the manufacturer.
8. PC Boards and Electronics
These are only available through the manufacturer and through retailers of specific brands.
9. Pullchain Switch
This is one of the most common parts to fail in a ceiling fan. Often the chain is pulled out of it’s socket and the fan is no longer able to be controlled. Replacements are readily available at hardware stores and Home Centers, however be careful. Pullchains are easy to replace but you have to make sure you have the correct replacement. Many may look similar if not identical. For more help, see our Ceiling Fan Pullchain Replacement page!
10. Remote Controls
Quite commonly remote-operated ceiling fans fall victim to the remote either lost or broken. Unfortunately there aren’t many options. Either contact the manufacturer (or a retailer) for a specific replacement, or use a Universal replacement remote. More information on our Ceiling Fan Remotes page.
11. Reverse switch
This is usually a very common electrical switch, either SPDT or DPDT rated at 120vAC and 2 amps or more. The SPDT switch will have one row of three connectors, the DPDT will have two rows of 3. These are available anywhere electronic parts are sold, in addition to many ceiling fan retailers and hardware stores.
12. Screws, bolts, etc
Replacements can be found at any hardware store, however some ceiling fan retailers sell packets of common screws and other fasteners.
13. Wall Controls
There are two types of wall controls for ceiling fans. One type is a generic switch that regulates the flow of electricity to the fan and/or light. These are usually not fan specific and are often sold separately from the fan. Replacements are available anywhere ceiling fans are sold.
Others are specific electronic controls designed to communicate with a receiver inside the fan, much like a remote control. In these cases replacements are only available through the manufacturer.
So how do you determine which is which? If the control operates both the fan and light separately and uses three wires it is most likely the first type. If it operates the fan and light separately and uses only two wires it is the second type. The same applies if the control has the capability to operate fan and light separately but no light is installed. If the control operates only the fan with no capabilities for controlling lights it is the first type.
