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: 1-877-459-3267, 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Central time.

PROBLEM                        

SUGGESTED REMEDY

1. Fan does not start

1.  Turn on wall switch, and check fuses or circuit breakers.

2.  Check power supply wire connections to fan and switch wire connections in switch 

housing.

  CAUTION:  

Make sure main power is turned off before entering canopy.

3.  Make sure forward/reverse switch pushed completely up or down. Fan will not 

operate when switch is in the middle.

4.  Make sure that the wall switch is turned ON. 

1.  Make sure all screws in motor housing are snug, but not overtightened.

2.  Make sure the motor screws which attach the blade arm to the motor are tight.

3.  Make sure wire connectors in switch housing are not rattling against each other or 

against the interior wall of the switch housing.

  CAUTION: 

Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.

4.  If using a light kit, be sure the glass shades are finger tight. Check to be sure light 

bulbs are snug in sockets and not touching glass shade(s). If vibration persists from 

glass, remove glass and install a 1/4 in. wide rubber band on glass neck to act as an 

insulator. Replace glass and tighten screws against rubber band.

5.  Using a full-range dimmer to control fan speed will cause humming noise from 

the fan. To reduce risk of fire or electrical shock, do NOT use a full range dimmer to 

control fan.

1.  Ensure all blades are screwed firmly into blade arms.

2.  Ensure all blade arms are tightened securely to motor.

3.  Ensure canopy and mounting bracket are tightened securely to outlet box and 

outlet box is mounted firmly to ceiling joist.

4.  Switch one blade with a blade from the opposite side. Or balance the fan using the 

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.

1.  Ensure the single-pin connectors from the switch housing are securely connected 

to the single-pin connectors from the light kit -- blue to black and white to white.

2.  Check for loose or disconnected wires in fan switch housing.

3.  Check for loose or disconnected wires in light kit.

4.  Check for faulty light bulbs.

  CAUTION: 

Make sure main power is turned off before entering switch housing.

2. Fan is noisy

3. Fan wobbles

4. Light does not work
