Light kit won't work on fan. Fan works fine. This has worked for 14 years so it's not installed wrong. 1 switch for light and 1 separate switch for fan. Tester says 120v at switch for light kit on wall. (Black wire on red tester contact, and ground wire on black contact) Tester says 105v (hard to hold 2 contacts and tester above head) at fan connection with same contact points. Installed new switch in wall, no joy. Bypassed pull chain for light kit, no joy. No remote control on this fan. Wth am I missing? I'm no electrician. Now that the fan is down, I'm ready to go buy a new one, but I don't want to hang it until I know it's going to work. Help!
Do a continuity test from switch to socket, figure out where it gives up the ghost. Could be where the fan hooks to the switch wire or where the light kit hooks into the fan, or anywhere in between. Good luck!
Are you testing Hot to ground or to neutral? Maybe there is a problem with the neutral.....the 105 reading seams strange
I was gonna ask but...... Hopefully bocefus78 wont come steal yer ... It is a valid question tho, really.... Remember, I was ready to replace a clutch w/out first checking the fluid
Got it figured out. Short somewhere inside fan. Light kit hot wired to ceiling box produces light. New big azz 60 inch fan with led's coming tomorrow.
PS, we had a ceiling fan installed 14' up in 1998. I never figured out why we had a 4 switch face plate till 2013 (bulbs never installed)
I already know I am special, but I still like being complimented, thanks This is after climbing up a ladder so many years in a row to dust the fan blades....
I've got 2 customers that pay me stupid money to change bulbs in fixtures like that. Well.....I used to have...Until I sold them led bulbs. Honesty cost me money those days.
I'm a handyman/contractor. I honor my customer trust by refusing to use anything other than Cree led bulbs in those situations. I rob them blind on the bulbs but still save them $$$$ in the long run, and they know it.
You most likely have a short on the neutral side. At the fan go ground to hot then neutral to hot both should read 120.
