TROUBLE SHOOTING
1. Check all fuses or circuit breakers. Replace if missing.
2. Turn off electrical power and check all wire connections to fan and in switch housing.
1. The fan may be running in reverse, so air is directed upward. (Winter mode)
2. The room may contain items that obstruct the air flow.
3. The fan may be too small for size of the room.
1. Use of standard light rheostat or continuously variable fan speed wall control will always cause harmonic distortions,
or a humming noise. Many fan motors do not work quietly with solid state variable controls. If a quiet wall control in
desired, use only 3-speed approved wall controls.
2. Always allow a few days “break in” time for any new fan at medium or high speed. Try to diagnose the exact location of
the noise by listening carefully from several sides (blades, motor, light kits, etc.). Fan noise can come from a light kit.
3. Make sure the light kit is securely fastened to the fan, and all glass screws are finger tightened only. Do not tighten
with pliers or a screw driver.
4. Make sure mounting bracket is installed snugly to junction box.
5. Make sure wire nuts in switch housing or canopy are not rattling against each other or against wall of housing. Wrap
with electrical tape if necessary.
6. Make sure the canopy is not touching the ceiling.
7. Assure that the screws fastening blade arm to motor are tight and the lock washers provided for that purpose have
been used.
FAN WILL NOT START:
FAN TURNS BUT DOES NOT MOVE MUCH AIR:
FAN SHAKES OR WOBBLES:
FAN IS NOISY:
1. A small amount of wobble is considered acceptable and should not be considereda defect.
2. Make sure the mounting bracket is tight at junction box/ceiling with no movement at all. Tighten screws if necessary.
3. Make sure all screws holding the blades to the blade arm and blade arm to motor are tight.
4. Some fan movement is normal. However, interchanging an adjacent(side-by-side) bladepair may redistribute the
weight and result in smoother operation.
5. If a balancing kit is provided, use it if needed.
