TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If you have difficulty operating your new ceiling fan, it may be the result of incorrect
assembly, installation, or wiring. In some cases, these installation errors may be
mistaken for defects. If you experience any faults, please check this trouble shooting
chart. If a problem cannot be remedied, please consult with your authorized qualified
and do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.
TROUBLE SUGGESTED REMEDY
1. If fan does not start: 1. check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
2. check wire connections as performed in step #10 of
installation.
CAUTION: Make sure main power is turned off.
3. Make sure forward/reverse switch is firmly in up or down
position. Fan will not operate when switch is in the middle.
4. If the fan still will not start, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to troubleshoot internal electrical
connections yourself.
2. If fan sounds noisy: 1. check to make sure all screws in motor housing are snug
(not over tightened).
2. check to make sure the screws which attach the fan blade
holder to the motor are tight.
3. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State
variable speed controls.
DO NOT USe a Solid State variable speed control.
4. Allow “break-in” period of 24 hours. Most noises
associated with a new fan will disappear after this period.
3. If fan wobbles: All blades are weighed and grouped by weight. Natural woods
vary in density which could cause the fan to wobble even
though all blades are weight-matched. The following
procedures should eliminate most of the wobble. check for
wobble after each step.
1. check that all blades are screwed firmly into blade holders.
2. check that all blade holders are tightened securely to
motor.
3. Make sure that canopy and mounting bracket are tightened
securely to ceiling joist.
4. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two
adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight
and possibly result in smoother operation.
4. If light does not work: 1. check to see that the wire connections in the switch
housing are connected.
2. check for faulty light bulbs.
3. If light kit will still not operate, contact a qualified
electrician for assistance.
