Ceiling fan light kit installation troubleshooting.

Remove the screws holding the light kit to the ceiling fan. After 30 minutes of teetering on a high ceiling to add a light kit that would not light i pulled the fan s ceiling cap and found that the idiots who installed the fan didn t take the extra what three seconds to connect the blue light s hot wire to the black incoming line. Consult the installation guide and correct the issue. You can install a new socket in some ceiling fan light kits but with a charred socket it might be best to replace the kit.

Install your light kit. It s hardwired to the light kit. Pull the kit from the switch housing to access the wire connectors. I installed the light kit properly which really only included attaching the blue to the black wire and the white to the white wire.

Install bulbs that are specified by the manufacturer for best results. If you just installed the ceiling fan and the light does not work the wires were not connected properly. Installing the ceiling fan with a light requires wiring the light to the main wiring. If you re using a wall control make sure the control is not an infinitely variable speed type.

Untwist the connectors from the two wires connecting the light kit to. If your ceiling fan light isn t working try replacing the pull chain first. If your ceiling fan has a light kit tighten any loose screws securing the glassware. There s one nut holding the pull chain to the light kit housing.

If you ve recently installed the fan allow 24 hours for the ceiling fan to adjust. Ensure the wires you ve run through the electrical box can reach the assembly if necessary. Again take a picture of the wiring then undo the two wire nuts that wire it to the rest of the light kit. Attach the light fixture to the ceiling fan using the manufacturer s instructions.
