My ceiling fan was making a squeaking sound when turned on. My husband said we needed rubber bands that they sell to put around the base of the light fixture. The originals ones had dryrotted which caused the squeaking. I promply handed him 1/4 inch rubber bands that I had in my "junk drawer". Voila! No more squeaking ceiling fan.
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
We recently moved into a new house that has ceiling fans in all the bedrooms. During the set up of my son's bed, the ceiling fan was hit and now it wobbles.
