ARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury,
shut off the power supply to fan before
you begin any maintenance tasks.
1. Fan does not start:
2. Fan is noisy:
3. Fan wobbles:
4. Light does not work:
1. Make sure that the wall switch is turned ON.
2. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
3. Check all wire connections from household supply wires to the fan.
4. Make sure forward/reverse switch pushed completely left or right. Fan will not operate
when switch is in the middle.
1. Make sure all screws in motor assembly are snug, but not overtightened.
2. Make sure the screws that attach the blade arms to the motor are tight.
3. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall
of the switch housing.
4. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall
of the canopy.
5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT
USE a Solid State variable speed control.
6. Ensure fan does not wobble excessively (see Fan wobbles solutions below).
1. Ensure the mounting bracket is tightened securely to outlet box and outlet box is
mounted firmly to ceiling joist.
2. Ensure all blades are screwed firmly into blade arms.
3. Ensure all blade arms are tightened securely to motor.
4. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan using the blade
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 for loose or disconnected 9-pin and/or single-pin connectors in switch housing or
light kit.
2. Ensure the blue wire from fan is connected to hot power supply wire.
3. Check for faulty light bulbs.
4. Ensure total wattage of bulbs does not exceed 180 watts (for incandescent bulbs only).
