This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Blade arm on ceiling fan broke completely in half and slung the blade across the room against the wall and behind the television; lucky nobody was standing there as this was a very large blade and it put a hole in the wall. Unable to find a replacement part anywhere; HarborBreeze website is totally worthless. Lowe's was no help. Looks like I'll be purchasing a new (different brand) ceiling fan - this one was NOT old and rarely used.

We just had the exact same thing happen to ours and it is only one year old.
You can not get the replacement part anywhere.
This is a poorly made product. Spend a few bucks more and get a better made fan.
It looks great but is junk. One fan blade arm just snapped off.

Would anyone that is getting rid of their fans be interested in selling the blade arms as parts? I would be interested in buying the arms so I can repair my fan in my deer camp.

Same issue, the blade arm completely snapped off with the fan blade. The manual lists a part number which the only result in Google is the reference from the online PDF of the manual. It is literally not carried anywhere and you're referred to a customer support line which simply tells you they do not carry the part. Worthless company.

I have experienced the exact same problem with a 2 year old fan. The blade arm broke in half and flung the blade across the room. No luck at home depot & lowes nor online with ebay and amazon. Have to say this is completely unacceptable. I will be buying a new (different brand) fan since there are apparently no replacement parts.

We got a space ship themed ceiling fan for our sons room, the metal arm bracket broke as well. Can't find a replacement part for it, maybe after reading this post, we will just get him another brand of ceiling fan. Been looking for a replacement part for a little over a month and can't find one.
