Troubleshooting

Blades don’t turn...
• Verify that the required receiving unit has been installed and wire connections have 

been made according to the installation instructions.

•  Verify that there are no physical obstructions preventing motor & blades from spinning 

(push blades by hand to confirm that they spin freely).

•  Confirm power has been turned on at circuit breaker and wall switch.

Light doesn’t work in the on position...
•  Check wire connections at ceiling and wall control.
•  Confirm that LED wire leads and terminal block is properly connected to LED board.

Fan wobbles...
•  Make sure hanging bracket and mounting hardware at ceiling is secure and firmly 

fastened.

•  Be sure ridge in hanging bracket is seated in the half-ball slot.
•  Check that stopper screw (or stopper pin) and set screws are firmly tightened where 

down rod is attached to the fan body.

•  Remove and reinstall two blades in opposite positions.
•  Use blade balancing kit as instructed.
   

Note: blade sets should not be inter-mixed as they are weight matched when 
packaged together.

Please read all installation instructions carefully. After reviewing the following 
troubleshooting tips, if you are unable to solve a problem with the installation or operation 
of you fan, please contact customer service for additional assistance.

I M P ORTANT: Do not return a fan or fan parts without first contacting us  
for troubleshooting assistance.
If we are unable to resolve a problem over the phone, a replacement fan or part will be 
provided and a prepaid shipping label will be issued for returning the defective product. 
Returns cannot be accepted without a Company issued return label. 
For the return of non-defective, un-installed merchandise, please contact your dealer.
Often, noises such as ticking or humming can be caused by loose parts or structural 
factors in the ceiling. Please double check that all screws and parts are firmly tightened, 
including the outlet box from which the fan is hung. Next, review the troubleshooting  
tips listed below.
As stated in the warranty, Modern Fan Co. is not liable for costs incurred related to 
installation labor or equipment. Be sure to test all functions of your fan, and if need be, 
contact customer service while your contractor/electrician is still on site.
