15. TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem

Fan will not start.

Fan sounds noisy.

Remote control 
malfunction.

Fan wobble.

Solution

1. Check circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the 

switch housing. 

CAUTION:

 Make sure main power is off.

3. Check to make sure the dip switches from the transmitter and receiver are 

set to the same frequency.

1. Make sure all motor housing screws are snug.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub is 

tight.

3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rubbing against each other or the 

interior wall of the switch housing. 

CAUTION:

 Make sure main power is 

off.

4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noise associated with a new 

fan disappear during this time.

5. If using an optional light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware 

are tight. Check that light bulb is also secure.

6. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control (s).
7. Make sure the upper canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should 

not touch the ceiling.

1. Do not connect the fan with wall mounted variable speed control (s).
2. Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.

1.  Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
2. Most fan wobbling 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. Measure this distance. Rotate the fan until the next blade is 
positioned for measurement. Repeat for each blade. The distance deviation 
should be equal within 1/8".

3. Use the enclosed Blade Balancing Kit if the blade wobble is still noticeable.
4. If the blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by 

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

WARNING:

 To reduce the risk of personal injury, do not bend the blade arm 

while installing, balancing the blades, or cleaning the fan. Do not insert 
foreign objects between rotating fan blades.
