Why does my Ceiling Fan stick to the same speed?
Ninety-five percent of issues are caused by the blown capacitor. The ceiling fan capacitor decides the amount of the power to be delivered to the motor. When the capacitor does not work, the required amount of the power will not be transferred to the motor and that might make your ceiling fan to stick on the same speed.
How is the speed of the blower motor controlled?
The electronic module that controls the speed of the blower motor is called a blower motor control module. In some cars, the blower motor has only 4 or 5 fixed speeds. In this case, the speed of the blower motor is controlled by a blower motor resistor.
Why does my Ceiling Fan not turn on?
There is no need to pull the chain. It worked when we moved in and worked for years afterwards. Shortly after having our kitchen and bathroom remodeled it started acting a little funny. The ceiling fan would turn on by using the wall switch, but it would only work on one speed, Low speed. Turning the knob to High or Medium did nothing.
What to do if your ceiling fan loses its remote control?
Understand that when you control the ceiling fan or its light kit using the wall switch, its remote control may lose memory. To restore its memory: Remove the batteries. Press all the buttons to ensure you do not have stuck keys. Reinstall the batteries, and do not press on any buttons. Turn the wall switch off.
How does the speed control on a ceiling fan work?
For instance, when you switch from medium to high on a solid-state fan, the speed control mechanism increases the power of the motor. Solid-state controls are generally equipped in fans with controls that have predetermined settings, such as low, medium and high.
Is the fan speed control a variable speed?
Is your fan speed control a variable speed or does it have individual set speeds that can be selected for example, Off, 1, 2, 3, and so on? Just the blower is intermittent, not the compressor. Fan speed does not have set speeds, it’s more like a rheostat. It has the rotary control.
How does a different fan speed switch work?
Those of us that have a discrete number of fan speeds have a set of resistors whereby the fan speed switch selects a different resistor and thus a different fan speed.
How can I control the speed of a 3 wire fan?
A 3-wire fan can be controlled using the same kind of drive as for 2-wire fans—variable dc or low-frequency PWM. The difference between 2-wire fans and 3-wire fans is the availability of feedback from the fan for closed-loop speed control. The tach signal indicates whether the fan is running and its rate of speed.
