With the help of a remote control, ceiling fans are an excellent option for home decoration. These devices also offer a variety of functions, including speed settings and a sleep timer. However, if you have a fan that won’t turn on no matter how many times you press the remote, there are a few easy steps to take.
The first thing you should do is make sure that the wall switch is turned on. If it isn’t, it is likely because you need to replace the light fixture or ceiling fan controller module. These modules can be purchased at most hardware stores in the ceiling fan isle. Typically, they have a white, black and blue wire that connect to the three coloured wires inside of your ceiling fan canopy.
After turning on the switch, it’s important to check whether or not the fan is connected to its power source. If it is, then you should see a small wire running from the junction box to the fan. There may also be a separate fuse for the fan, but you should still make sure that the house side of the circuit is dead by using a voltage tester and by removing any fuses in the junction box.
If you’re not comfortable working with lethal electrical wiring, then it’s a good idea to call a professional electrician to do the job for you. Remember, that working with lethal circuits can cause serious injuries, so it’s important to exercise extreme caution when checking and rechecking the wiring.
