Fan playing up? Often it is a simple fix

If your fan wobbles, hums, runs slow or has stopped altogether, it is not always a write-off. In a lot of cases, ceiling fan repair in Melbourne is quicker and cheaper than replacing the whole fan. We diagnose what is actually wrong, tell you honestly whether it is worth fixing or replacing, and sort it out either way.

Whatever yours is doing, the cause is usually predictable. A fan that will not start often has a failed capacitor or a wiring or switch fault. A wobble usually comes from a loose mount or unbalanced blades. Noise can be worn bearings, loose screws or blades catching. A remote or wall control that has stopped working can be the control, the receiver, or the wiring behind it. We check the lot and pinpoint the real issue rather than guessing.

Your fan’s wiring, switches, capacitors and controls are electrical work, which is why a licensed electrician needs to handle them rather than a handyman. We carry common parts so many repairs are done on the spot, and we test the fan properly before we leave. If the motor is genuinely worn out or parts are no longer available, we will tell you straight and talk through replacement.

If a repair does not stack up and a new fan makes more sense, see Ceiling Fan Installation. If the fan is part of a wider electrical problem, see Electrical Fault Finding & Repairs. We are licensed and insured, rated 5.0 on Google across 600+ reviews, and every job is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Job organised on the spot and carried out the same day.
Absolutely amazing service A+++++
Great service, very polite and professional and very helpful. Would recommend.
Update: had to get some more electrical work done at my house, this time MelWide sent Vy - another legend - polite, kind, clean, efficient, can’t speak highly enough about this company and their employees, thank you ☺️
____________________________________________
Everyone needs an Albert in their life! I reached out to MelWide for an electrical quote to change some things in my house, the quote was reasonable and their reviews were good so I proceeded. Albert arrived on time and quickly ascertained what the problems were. He explained everything to me in layman’s terms and gave me various options on how to fix them. The job ended up being too much to do in one day (as I kept adding stuff) so the team accommodated the next day and time that I preferred and Albert came back to finish the job. I cannot speak highly enough of him - you can see he takes pride in his work and strives to ensure he delivers the highest quality of work for the least expense to the customer - a rarity in today’s trades from my experiences. I am thrilled with the final result, and relieved that my house is now safer. Moving forward, I will only use MelWide for my electrical needs and will always be requesting Albert to complete the work. Great company to deal with all round, well done and thank you.
We had Zach come look at an issue with our fuse, he was on time, very professional and friendly. He explained everything clearly so we understood.
I had a very positive experience with Melbourne Wide Electricial & Plumbing. They arrived on time and did a wonderful job replacing my light in the garage. Would highly recommend them.

Melbourne Wide Electrical Van – Melbourne Electrician

Repaired safely, balanced and tested

Once we know the cause, you get a proper repair, whether that is replacing a failed capacitor, re-securing the mount, balancing the blades, sorting the wiring, or fixing the control. We rebalance the fan so it runs smooth and quiet rather than wobbling, and we make sure it is mounted securely to a joist or proper brace. Before we leave we run it through its speeds and check the summer and winter modes, so you know it is fixed, not just temporarily quiet. We can also swap a failed light kit in the fan or sort a fan that only works on some speeds.

We diagnose the real problem first

You should not pay for guesswork, so before touching anything we work out what is actually wrong, because the fix for a wobble is very different to the fix for a fan that will not start. We check the mount, blades, balance, motor, capacitor, wiring, switch and remote, and tell you what we find in plain language. We will also give you an honest call on whether the repair is worth doing or whether your money is better spent on a new fan.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the fault and the parts involved. A capacitor swap or blade balancing is quick, while a control or wiring repair takes a little longer. We diagnose first, then give you a fixed price before any repair starts, with no call-out fee: the price you approve is the price you pay. Call 1300 635 294.
Yes, for anything beyond dusting the blades. The wiring, capacitor, switches and controls are all part of your home's electrical system, so a licensed electrician must work on them. We are licensed and insured, and we test the fan properly before we leave.
A fan that will not start is most often a failed capacitor, a wiring or switch fault, or a control problem. These are exactly the parts a licensed electrician can safely test and replace. We diagnose the cause and, in many cases, repair it on the same visit.
Yes. A wobble usually comes from a loose mount or unbalanced blades, and noise is often worn bearings or loose screws. We re-secure the mount, balance the blades and sort any worn parts, so the fan runs smooth and quiet again.
It depends on the fault and the age of the fan. A capacitor, mount or control issue is usually well worth repairing, while a burnt-out motor on an old fan often is not. We give you an honest recommendation so you spend your money the smart way.
