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 the Troubleshooting section below. If a problem cannot be remedied or you are experiencing difficulty in
installation, please contact the Service Department: 1-877-459-3267, 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Central time.
PROBLEM
SUGGESTED REMEDY
1. Fan does not start
1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2. Check power supply 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 pushed completely up or down. Fan will not
operate when switch is in the middle.
4. Make sure that the wall control is turned ON.
1. Make sure all screws in motor housing are snug, but not overtightened.
2. Make sure the screws which attach the blade arm to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire 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 a light kit, be sure the glass shades are finger tight. Check to be sure light
bulb are snug in sockets 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.
1. Ensure all blades are screwed firmly into blade arms.
2. Ensure all blade arms are tightened securely to motor.
3. Ensure canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to outlet box and
outlet box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
4. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan using a
balancing kit.
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 (black) power
supply wire or to a separate power supply wire from outlet box.
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.
1. Make sure the reverse switch is in the down position.
2. Change to higher fan speed by pulling the fan pull chain.
2. Fan is noisy
3. Fan wobbles
4. Light does not work:
5. Weak airflow:
