TROUBLESHOOTING

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 the Troubleshooting section below. If a problem cannot be remedied or you are experiencing difficulty in installation, please contact the Service Department: 1-877-706-3267, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Central, Monday-Friday.

SUGGESTED REMEDY

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, shut off the power supply to fan before you begin any maintenance tasks.

Fan does not start:

1. 1. Make sure that the wall switch is turned ON.
   2. Check main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers.
   3. Check all wire connections from household supply wires to the fan.
   4. Make sure the forward/reverse switch is pushed completely left or right. Fan will not operate when the switch is in the middle.

Fan is noisy:

1. 1. Make sure all screws in the motor assembly are snug, but not over-tightened.
   2. Make sure the screws that attach the blade arms to the motor are tight.
   3. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall of the switch housing.
   4. Make sure wire connectors are not rattling against each other or against the interior wall of the canopy.
   5. Some fan motors are sensitive to signals from Solid State variable speed controls. DO NOT USE a Solid State variable speed control.
   6. Ensure fan does not wobble excessively (see Fan wobbles solutions below).

Fan wobbles:

1. 1. Ensure the mounting bracket is tightened securely to the outlet box and the outlet box is mounted firmly to a ceiling joist.
   2. Ensure all blades are screwed firmly into blade arms.
   3. Ensure all blade arms are tightened securely to the motor.
   4. Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan using the blade balancing kit.
   5. If blade wobble is still noticeable, interchanging two adjacent (side by side) blades can redistribute the weight and possibly result in smoother operation.

Light does not work:

1. 1. To re-sync wall control to the fan – Switch the power to the fan off and back on again. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the HIGH SPEED and LOW-SPEED buttons (or the
   “LEARN” button, located in the battery compartment) for 5 seconds. The fan will turn on at low speed and light off. This confirms the syncing process is successful.
   2. Insert new CR2032 batteries in the battery compartment of the wall control.
   3. If there are several fans in close proximity, turn the power off to other fans and re-sync the remote (see Corrective Action 1 above).
