The fan is stuck on the low setting with the lights on. How do i fix it please? When i verbs on the chain nothing happen, it will not shut off the light or adaptation the speed of the fan. It stays on all the time presently!
1. You hold to start by uninstalling the lights.
2. Once the lights are uninstalled, set them aside and take off the cover for the enthusiast.
3. Take off the fan cover and you should see for a moment switch, take it off and thieve it to the hardware store and get a new one. Make sure the cuff is free and is not the real problem.
4. reinstall the switch and you should be back within business.
5. If the fan doesn't work from a light switch, take out the power at the box. Treat all wires if they were alive, don't try to be a hero next to power.
Depending on what brand of fixture you have you should have a separate verbs cord (chain) for the lights and one for the fan. Unless you have a single speed adherent and the light is on when the fan is on (doubtful)
Look contained by your breaker box, find the breaker for the fixture and turn it off. Many times your able to remove the cover on the bottom of the fan/light which surrounded by turn allows access to the wiring for the lights/fan and the switch's that controls them. This is done by a single nut or a few small screws on the sides. Sometime you may necessitate to remove the light assembly to gain access. ( You shouldn't have to disconnect the entire oil lamp assembly wiring; maybe purely 1 wire)
Once you have done this you will be able to see the switch that controls the follower and a separate on that controls the lights.
Remove the corresponding switch by unscrewing the little thin washer looking nut on the neck of the switch remembering which cable connects to which wire.
Take it to the hardware store and match it up beside another switch. Ask for help to assure you get the correct switch. You may want to own the brand/model of fixture the switch is from.
Reassemble in reverse order making sure the telecommunication nuts are all tight. Turn breaker back on and you should be right.
If not I haven't a clue but that's how I have fixed all of the fan that have had this issue.
Answers: Probably a bad switch in the disciple that the chain connects to. They can be replaced. There are usually two chains connected to switches - one of them for the light, the other for the disciple.
Go to home depot and buy new switches, pretty easy to replace. Call an electrician.
