The reason a ceiling fan is spinning slowly is almost always the result of dirty or damaged ball bearings. ... Moreover, the bearings become less round as they grind along. Even at the top speed setting, with enough friction, the fan blades move slowly or not at all, and the motor may even burn itself out.
Why is my fan spinning so slow?
Ceiling fans that operate at speeds slower than normal can have one of four problems. Two of these issues are mechanical: loss of bearing lubrication and poor blade balance. The other two are electrical: either a bad capacitor or damaged winding.
How can I make my fan faster?
Apply lubricant to the center of the ceiling fan or just the bearings to increase the spinning speed. You may need to replace the bearings entirely to speed up your ceiling fan if lubricant doesn't help. Always try the bearings and lubricant before taking apart your ceiling fan's housing.
