Ceiling fan light flecker
I have a casablanca ceiling fan that worked fine until recently. When I turn the lights on they flecker. When I turn the fan on the fleckering stops. Lately, I noticed a grinding sound when the fan is running. How can I fix this problem?
The wall switch has the option of power on/off, revese fan direction, lights variable intensity setting & variable fan speed.

Grinding indicates failed bearings. This is causing excess load in the motor and that is causing the flickering. This is not a user repair and would like cost around $130.00 for labor and bearing assuming you find a shop willing to do it. Most fans have pressed bearings and are very cheap.
