What to Check If Your Ceiling Fan Stops Working

Has your fan stopped working? There are a few things you can check and do yourself before you need to give us a call. Give one of the below steps a try the next time your system messes up:

Find the Circuit Breaker

It might sound simple, but sometimes all you need to do to get things up and running again is to simply reset a tripped breaker in your circuit. If your circuit breaker won’t work upon resetting, you might want to consider replacing the fuse altogether, as it may be blown. This is especially likely if the house and circuit breaker are old.

Test the Remote Control

Is it not responding to the remote control? Don’t panic! It could be that the remote has simply run out of batteries, so be sure to replace the batteries in your remote and give it a try if you are unsure. If that doesn’t work, give us a call.

Check the Directional Switch

Sometimes, the switch that reverses the direction of your fan blades may accidentally be set to neutral. Once you switch it back into the desired direction, your device may well be up and running again!

Free the Fan Blades

Sometimes, fan blades get stuck and can block the motor from turning the blades.
