So i move into my new house.
Ceiling fan chain broke off.
An easy repair you.
If your ceiling fan or the light on the fan doesn t work when the chain is pulled then the problem is most likely a broken fan pull chain switch.
The chain that control s the fan speed broke off my ceiling fan from what i m reading it appears i need to replace the whole fan switch isn t their a way to just reconnect the bead chain without having to replace the whole switch.
If the chain on your ceiling fan has ever pulled out then this is how to repair it.
When this happens the easiest solution is to simply replace the entire switch assembly.
During the summer it draws warm air upward and away.
Now it s on high and i can t shut it off.
During the winter the fan pushes warm air down into living areas.
Over time the chain attached to the switch can jam keeping you from pulling it.
I still have pull chains to turn on and off the light and a chain to reverse the direction.
The first hour my mother in law decides to try out the ceiling fan.
She turns the unit on at the lightswitch then pulls the chain right out of the unit.
A few models do allow you to reattach the chain but you must access the switch before.
Well the entire chain broke off at the fan end the entire chain.
The switch will also need to be replaced if the chain will not pull down or if it broke off inside the fan housing.
A broken pull chain on a ceiling fan almost always requires replacement of the on off switch as a repair.
Most of these fans are operated with pull switches to adjust the speed and light settings.
Both for looks and for saving energy a ceiling fan is a great addition to any home.
Yet a broken ceiling fan pull chain is a common problem for many owners of ceiling fans.
The fan is now on at max whenever the unit is turned on.
