Troubleshooting
Blades don’t turn...
• Check that the reverse switch is firmly in one position (Forward or Reverse).
• Check wire connections at ceiling and wall control.
• Verify that there are no physical obstructions preventing motor & blades from spinning
(push blades by hand to confirm that they spin freely).
• Confirm power has been turned on at circuit breaker and wall switch.
Light doesn’t work in the on position...
• Check wire connections at ceiling and wall control.
• Be sure lamp is screwed in completely so that base touches contacts or if equipped with
a flat LED board, confirm that wire terminals are properly connected.
Fan wobbles...
• Make sure hanging bracket and mounting hardware at ceiling is secure and firmly fastened.
• Be sure ridge in hanging bracket is seated in the half-ball slot.
• Check that stopper screw (or stopper pin) and set screws are firmly tightened where
down rod is attached to the fan body.
• Remove and reinstall two blades in opposite positions.
• Use blade balancing kit as instructed.
Note: blade sets should not be inter-mixed as they are weight matched when
packaged together.
