The base could be cracked, not level or the fan is too heavy for the stand. What type of fan do you have? What does the base look like? Where are you sitting the fan and is it on carpet or hardwood floors? There are many reasons the base of the stand keeps falling over and with the lack of information that you have given us to work with it is a bit difficult to try and give you some suggestions to fix this base. Normally the base has the wiring for the fan and you need to be very careful if you are trying to fix the base. If the base falls over there is a possibility of drilling a hole in the case and adding support.

But again if you do not know where the wires are and you drill a hole in the base you can nick one of the wires and cause a short. It might be best if you try and contact the company who has made this fan and see if they sell just the base so you can replace it. But again the head of the fan has the wires coming up through the base of the fan and if you do not know how to remove these wires and put them in another base this can be a very complicated job to do.

There are several different types of bases for pedestal fans so without a brand name and model number or a picture it would be difficult to offer suggestions.

Also, any suggestion would be just that - a suggestion - as we have no way to know if you are skilled at repairing things like this or if you have/know someone that could help you fix the stand.

I would suggest that you contact the maker of your fan and ask for help with this problem - most sites will have a contact form to complete. You will need to know the model number or send a picture.

You can also use this site to see if any of these 'fixes' relate to your problem.
You can also Google your brand of fan and ask the same question.

Sorry I could not be of more help but perhaps someone else can offer more.
