Ceiling Fan Light Pull Chain Doesn T Work

Ceiling fan pull chain for light is stuck and won t pull.

Ceiling fan light pull chain doesn t work.

Check the pull chain on the fan assembly that operates the lights. 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. The light pull chain works fine but not the fan. If you hear a humming sound however.

The ceiling fan has a wall switch and drop down chains to turn fan on off also light chain. Open the fan housing and take off the light kit. 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. Damaged light sockets and a broken pull chain switch can also cause the fan s lights to stop working.

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. Light is off and i need it badly. Checking a few connections and making a couple of repairs can get your ceiling fan lights.

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. When we pull on the pull chain nothing happens.
