Ceiling Fan Light Pull Chain Doesn T Work

Light is off and i need it badly.

Ceiling fan light pull chain doesn t work.

If you hear a humming sound however. Fan is working by switch and chain but light chain won t pull to turn on light. The ceiling fan has a wall switch and drop down chains to turn fan on off also light chain. We removed the light cover and noticed that the fan pull chain has to pull to the side but the chain comes straight down through the light in compairison the light pull chain is straight.

Checking a few connections and making a couple of repairs can get your ceiling fan lights. If power is out for the entire room go to your main electrical panel and locate the circuit breaker for the area. If the fan blades and the ceiling fan lights don t work the problem might be that power isn t getting to the room. When we pull on the pull chain nothing happens.

The light pull chain works fine but not the fan. Check the pull chain on the fan assembly that operates the lights. Remove the old switch connected to the pull chain by unscrewing the wire nut it is connected to and pulling it out. Check a nearby outlet to see if it has power.

If your ceiling fan has a pull chain it s directly wired to an electrical panel and that s usually the first thing you should check if the fan doesn t work. Put the new switch with pull chain into the ceiling fan twist it with the same wires the old switch was connected to and put the wire nut on the wires.
