OK, been doing my homework before wasting anybody's time here... I've got 2 ceiling fans wired to 1 speed control. Of course, 1 of the fans hums.
The fan control company said it's loose motor windings on the one fan, it's normal. They make a "de-hummer" for ONE-fan installs, but not multi.
Hunter (fan) said that you CAN have no-hum operation of multiple fans (on one controller), but it must be CAPCITOR-DRIVEN (not solid-state), and probably has to be a STEPPED control (not variable.) They don't sell such a thing, and don't know if anyone does.
I've googled tons... no one makes one that I can find. And not many people talking about solutions they have found either, just some patents.
Does anyone know is such a thing exists? Or what can be done? Because at this point, the hum is not acceptable, and I'll just wire the fans to a switch & use the pull chains for speed adjustments (not what I WANT to do, but I refuse to deal with the hum.)
