Has anyone seen this? After connecting the switch module, I have power indicated at both the black wire &amp; white wire. Fan doesn't run.

I would recommend hiring a professional electrician to confirm what is the amount of current towards this appliance.

well check first that ALL you barkers are on and i mean turn off and then bring back up to make sure you get electric to the switch/control part inside the wall. if that will not help my only guess is the black part that control the fan is dead. to be sure i need to open an actual box and look on the electric wiring diagram to see what part can cause that. thanks Avi.

I'm not sure I understand your question. I have 2 of these fans and I have not experienced this problem. Even in the "night" mode, there is still a little crescent moon displayed in the screen. I have never seen the fan running with the screen completely blank. I would suspect you have a defective on-off switch. Sorry I can't be more help.

The gray wires - one attaches to the main power in - the other go as to the fan switch. The other 3 wires push into their respective holes on the fan switch. I watched you tube instalation videos. If you do the same I'm sure you'll be alright but if there is no success the fan switch may be blown or the fan motor may burnt up.

Try the fan manufacturer, or just duplicate the wiring of the existing fan switch.

Sorry for your problem but I can't be sure my experience will help you. Mine was direct-wired and burned out in a thunderstorm. Replaced it with a different version. Fan still works fine.

Don't know.-- Added my own meter lights and replaced an internally shorted transformer with a bigger and better one out of the junk box. Also put higher capacity pass transistors on my second unit. Yeah the fan gets growly; other than that they both work.

Hello - I realize that you posted this comment some time ago, but I'm hoping you may be able to help me. I bought this fan a couple of months ago but only recently hired someone to install it while I was away on a trip. Turns out my 1948 house has the 2-wire electrical, so my contractor simply purchased a different fan. Now I can't return this one. To use it, what did you do? Did you purchase a different type of remote and if so, what kind? Thank you!

did you install it, sounds like a loose connection, need to strip back more insulation on the wires that go from stranded wire to solid wire maybe, if not the fan is most likely defective

I did not have this exact problem but there has been a rash of bad circuit boards axcording to the tech. Its unusual yours works intermittent ly versus complete failure. If I had to guess it sounds like you have a cooling problem and theset shuts down to save itself. Try putting a small fan behind it.

I rewired mine and have a separate switch for the fan and the lights. I often use the fan alone. But I always use the fan when using the lamps to prevent excessive heat buildup.

I run a car stereo setup off of mine in the man cave. My fan runs all the time. But I just put a 12v fan controller on it and a bigger fan. Fixed the problem if you're a DIY'er

Yes - if your fan is not working and everything else is - then it is probably the switch - which is a part that can easily break. I tired to fix the old switch but that is impossible. Just be sure to mark where each of the four wires go to make sure you get them back in the proper place - otherwise you will be guessing through trial and error. Good luck

Yes the fan switch but not the light. I always put the fan on high and then use the controller but I'm not sure if it even matters.

Hello Donna, The switch has a receiver box that goes into the canopy of the fan. You would just hook up the receiver box in your fan as normal. The switch sends a radio signal to the receiver box in the fan to control the light and fan. There will be a black and white wire that will hook to the house wiring on the receiver box and then 3 other wires labeled fan, light and then another white wire labeled fan or something like that. You would hook the white wire from the receiver box to the white wire on your fan and then the wire that is marked fan will go to the fan wire that powers the fan (Black) and then the wire marked light will go to the wire that powers your light or future light on the fan (Blue most of the time on some fans it could be another color). At the switch to you would just install that part like the standard switch you are replacing. Make sure you turn the power off at the breaker panel before you do the hook-up. The switch part will also have a tab at the bottom that can be pulled out this should be pulled out when doing the hook-up and then pushed back in once installed. I also believe that the switch is only rated at 300 watts for light dimming so make sure that when you do get a light it is rated at no more than 300 watts total for all bulbs. Hope this helps Steve S. Master Electrician

From Robert Richey: I do have such a switch. There was a repair man in MIlipitas California who offered to rewire the fan for a new switch but it was expensive so I just use the old switch and hope for the best.Sorry about that as I am a retired engineer not a repair man.
