17. TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem
Fan will not start.
Fan sounds noisy.
Remote control
malfunction.
Lights shut off and will
not come back on.
Fan wobble.
Solution
1. Check main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
2. Check line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the
switch housing.
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 are
tight.
3. Make sure wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the
interior wall of the switch housing.
4. Allow a 24-hour "breaking-in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.
5. If using ceiling fan light kit, make sure the screws securing the glassware
are tight. Check that the light bulb is also secure.
6. Make sure there is a short distance from the ceiling to the canopy. It should
not touch the ceiling.
7. Make sure your ceiling box is secure and rubber isolator pads are used
between mounting bracket and outlet box.
1. Do not connect the fan with a wall mounted variable speed control(s).
2. Make sure the dip switches are set correctly.
1. This unit may be equipped with a wattage limiting device. Lamping in
excess of 190 watts will disable your ceiling fan's light kit. To reset your light
kit you must turn the power off and relamp, keeping the wattage under 190
watts. Restore power to your ceiling fan and continue normal operation.
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.
