Trouble Shooting Guide

If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect assembly, installation 

or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, 

please check this Trouble Shooting Guide. If a problem cannot be remedied or you are experiencing difficulty

in installation, please call our Customer Service Department.

TROUBLE

1. If fan does not start:

2. If fan sounds noisy:

3. If fan wobbles:

4. If light does not work:

1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.

2. Check line wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch 

    housing.

  

  

CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.

3. Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down position. Fan will not 

    operate when switch is in the middle.

4. Make sure that the wall controler is turned "ON".  

1. Make sure all screws in motor housing are snug. (not over tightened)

2. Make sure the screws which attach the fan bladeholder to the motor are tight.

3. Make sure wire nut connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each 

    other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.

    CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.

4. If using an optional ceiling fan light kit, check to be sure the screws securing 

    the glassware are finger tight. Check to be sure light bulb is tight in socket and 

    not touching glass shade(s). If vibration persists from glass, remove glass and

    install a 1/4 in. wide rubber band on glass neck to act as an insulator. Replace 

    glass and tighten screws against rubber band.

5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed 

    controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.

6. Allow "break-in" period of 24 hours. Most noises associated with a new fan will 

    disappear after this period. 

All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural woods vary in density 

which could cause the fan to wobble even though all blades are weight-matched. 

The following procedures should eliminate most of the wobble. Check for wobble 

after each step.

1. Check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.

2. Check that all blade holders are tightened securely to motor.

3. Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to ceiling

    junction box and junction box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.

4. Most fan wobble problems are caused when blade levels are unequal. Check

    this level by selecting a point on the ceiling above the tip of one of the blades.

    Keeping measure within 1/8 in. rotate the fan until the next blade is positioned

    for measurement. repeat for each blade. If all blade levels are not equal, you

    can adjust blade levels by the following procedure. To adjust a blade tip down,

    insert a washer (not supplied) between the blade and blade holder at the screw

    closest to the motor. To adjust a blade tip up, insert washer (not supplied) 

    between the blade and blade holder at the two screws farthest from the motor.

5. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side)

    blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.

1. Check blue wire from fan to make sure it is connected to hot wire from house.

2. Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.

3. Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.

4. Check for faulty light bulbs.

    CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.
