Troubleshooting

Problem
The fan will not start.
The fan is noisy.
The fan wobbles.
Solution
□
Check the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers.
□
Check the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch
housing.
□
Check the battery in the remote control.
□
Ensure you are in the normal range of 10-20 feet.
□
Remember to turn off the power supply before checking the dip switch settings.
□
Ensure all motor housing screws are snug.
□
Ensure the screws that attach the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are tight.
□
Ensure the wire nut connections are not rattling against each other or the interior wall
of the switch housing.
□
Allow a 24-hour "breaking in" period. Most noises associated with a new fan
disappear during this time.
□
If you are using the Ceiling Fan light kit, ensure the screws securing the glassware are
tight. Check that the light bulbs are also secure.
□
Ensure the canopy is a short distance from the ceiling. It should not touch the ceiling.
□
Ensure your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the
mounting plate and outlet box.
□
Check that all blade and blade arm screws are secure.
□
Most fan wobble 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 from a
point on the center of the blade to the point on the ceiling. Rotate the fan until the
next blade is positioned for measurement, and measure from the same point on each
blade to the ceiling. Repeat for each blade. Any measurement deviation should be
within 1/8 in. Run the fan for ten minutes. If the fan continues to wobble please
contact Customer Service and a balancing kit will be sent to you at no charge.
