Ceiling Fan Chain Broke How To Turn Off

The first hour my mother in law decides to try out the ceiling fan.

Ceiling fan chain broke how to turn off. A broken pull chain on a ceiling fan almost always requires replacement of the on off switch as a repair. The switch will also need to be replaced if the chain will not pull down or if it broke off inside the fan housing. Another is to turn off the breaker that supplies power to the fan but this will probably knock out several other things and third is to get a hold of what is left of the chain activate the rotary switch built into the fan.

She turns the unit on at the lightswitch then pulls the chain right out of the unit. Turn off the switch on the wall if any. 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.

After you have opened up the ceiling fan housing double check that the power is off by using a voltage tester. A few models do allow you to reattach the chain but you must access the switch before. There are three ways to turn off a ceiling fan.

So i move into my new house. Sorry to hear of your dilemma. These pull chains get pulled on daily and can be broken.

Turn off all power to the ceiling fan. Ceiling fans with lights have a pull chain to turn the fan or the lights on or off. The fan is now on at max whenever the unit is turned on.

These pull chains get pulled on daily and can be broken. I still have pull chains to turn on and off the light and a chain to reverse the direction.
