EASY REPAIR NOISY PANASONIC CEILING FAN F-M14C7

This video shows how to easily overcome the resonance noise of the Panasonic 5 Bladed Ceiling Fan, F-M14C7. This fan is a popular make and model in Malaysia. It is a durable model with its only common problem being the noise caused by the resonance of the capacitors. My fan is 11 years old and is now quiet. The original Circuit Board can be purchased at any Panasonic service centre. You just have to quote the model number of your fan. The model number can be found on your remote control. I hope this video helped you solve your problem.

Very Clear and concise - thank you Nantha.

Thanks for sharing and solving the noise problem from the fan. Most of my fans have the same problem

[dasvydania]

Omg.. my headache is gone now. Thank you for this video, it helps a lot!

Thank you really followed your step and now no more noise

Thank You Brother, i managed to fix 4 of my Parents panasonic fans which was whining like crazy. This fix also applies to latest Panasonic Bayu/KDK models. ❤

Excellent professional video thank you a great help I have the same problem with my Panasonic ceiling fan I can now fix it

[shahmyaziz]

Thank you sir. Your explanation is simple and very clear.

This totally worked for me. Thank you so much!

OMG. I've fixed it!! For years I've been looking for videos on youtube to fix the noise. Some suggested drip oil which doesn't work for me. Thank you for posting this video. I did 100% as you did, clean off the dust since I've taken it out. Once I install it back, the fan became quiet instantly.

Thank you! I did as you said, and saw that the original circuit board had some "blu tack" underneath all the capacitors that appears to have dried out and no longer holding on to the capacitors. I took out some of my own blu tack and just added a little bit underneath each capacitor to make sure they are stuck down and no more buzzing sound.

Thanks a lot Mr.Nathan, it really works

Mr Nathan, thank you very much . followed your clear instructions, just removed and refitted the sockets and noise totally gone. Great video, thanks for sharing the knowledge.

Thanks for your tip that the loose fitting of the circuit board may cause resonance. I have a similar fan, a 4-blade F-M14C8 with a headache-size buzzing noise. In my case, the loose fitting of the circuit board wasn’t the problem. Since you alerted the vibration issue, it led me to think of loose screws, a possible result after many years of rotation. Remove the decorative cover, you will see 2 screws holding each blade to the motor body. Use hex screwdriver to tighten all screws. Do the same to the 2 screws holding the circuit board assembly to the motor body. And buzzing noise is gone! Anybody can do it. With just a ladder and hex screwdriver. No need to remove the circuit board or dismantle anything else. I should have watched your video first instead of the others which recommended changing the capacitors, which I did and spent good money buying them plus a welding set!

Thank you so much for sharing Mr Nantha!

This is more interesting. I have changed 3 PCBs for 1 of my fan, and it is coming back. I'll give it a try too. Yes, I did it too, and found the 2 screws holding the PCB cluster to the shaft loosen; tightened & humming sound gone after 2 years. Thanks

Thank you sir. This is helpful and save money. Cheers

Thank you very much, Mr Nantha! Absolutely the most helpful video on this subject. Together with the additional viewers comments, this has done the trick for me. When the fan speeds drop or become erratic, a new circuit board is probably the best solution. If the problem is noise alone, some quick work with the screwdrivers should be enough. Buying capacitors and a soldering kit is a lot of hassle- it should be possible to source a new board from the Panasonic spares shop in PJ or, failing that, from Mudah, Carousell or eBay.

Thanks so much for the video! Seems to be something besides the board thats causing the humming in my fan. Will still need to diagnose it but great reference point

[axzae]

Thanks mate! Found the part selling in shopee too

These capacitors are not designed to last 11 years. They are wear and tear components and need to be replaced periodically. The drop in capacitance causes the noise and the true extent of damage can only be found once the capacitor is checked with a multimeter. It would be best to replace the 2 common fault capacitor, the1 black 0.82uf and 1 brown 1.8uf, if you are looking for a long term fix.
