5. TROUBLESHOOTING THE FAN DOES NOT START UP
1. Check all the fuses or circuit breakers.
2. Turn off the electrical power and check all wire connections.
THE FAN EMITS NOISES
1. Always allow a few days "break in" time for any new fan at medium or high speed. Try to
diagnose the exact location of the noise by listening carefully from several sides (blades,
motor, light kit, etc.) The fan noise can come from a light kit.
2. Make sure all screws in the fan assembly and light kit are tight and properly threaded. If
not, then turn off the power and tighten the screws. Tighten these screws at least once a year
because they may loosen slowly over time and cause a clicking noise.
3. Make sure the light kit is securely fastened to the fan, and all glass screws are finger tight-
ened only. Do not tighten with pliers or a screw driver.
4. Make sure the mounting bracket is installed snugly to the junction box.
5. Make sure wire nuts in the switch housing or the canopy are not rattling against each other
or against the housing's wall. Wrap with electrical tape if necessary.
6. Make sure the canopy is not touching the ceiling.
7. Assure that the screws fastening the blade holders to the motor are tight and the lock
washers provided for that purpose have been used.
THE FAN DOES NOT PRODUCE MUCH AIR
1. The fan may be running in reverse, so air is directed upward.
