TROUBLESHOOTING
FAN DOES NOT START:
•
Check the circuit breaker and confirm the power is ON.
•
Make sure wall switch is ON.
•
Confirm the battery is installed correctly in the handheld remote; install a fresh battery.
•
Make sure you are in the normal range for the remote control of 10’ –
20’ (3m –
6m).
•
Check that the motor reversing switch is correctly engaged and set to left or right position. The
reverse switch will either be on the top of the motor housing or in the remote battery
compartment (varies by model). Fan will not run if switch is in the middle.
•
Confirm that the blades spin freely and that there are no obstructions between the blades or
into the motor housing. Turn off power at circuit breaker and at wall switch, loosen the canopy,
and check that all wiring connections from the household supply wires to the remote receiver
and to the fan wires are secure.
FAN IS NOISY:
•
Make sure all screws are snug and secure including blade screws into the blade irons, blade
irons onto the motor, and screws on canopy and switch housing cover.
•
Make sure all blades and blade irons are properly installed.
•
Some ceiling fan motors are sensitive to solid state variable speed wall controls. If the fan is
controlled by these types of controls remove the control and replace with a standard wall
switch to enable the remote control to operate the fan and light.
FAN WOBBLES:
•
Make sure fan mounting bracket is securely tightened to the ceiling outlet box and the ceiling
box is securely fastened to the ceiling joist or other adequate support structure.
•
Confirm that the hanger ball is properly seated in the mounting bracket. The tab in the
mounting bracket should be seated in the slot in the downrod ball.
•
Make sure all blades are installed correctly and all screws are secure. Also confirm that the two
set screws in the downrod are tight in the yoke.
•
Balance the fan blades using the blade balancing kit included with the fan.
WARNING:
Before beginning any troubleshooting or maintenance work always shut off the
power supply to avoid electrical shock hazard.
