unbalanced fan


     About the unbalanced fan problem...   You might try holding
a crayon or soft chalk near the tips of the spinning fan blades.
The heavier blade should swing out farther than the others, so
that it will nick the chalk first (watch out for your eyes). This,
however, doesn't neccessarily identify the lightest blade unless
your fan has four blades. Gives a clue, though.

    Of course, the simplest solution would be to take it back where
you bought it and ask for a new one.
