Why does my ceiling fan only run on one speed?
The fan is stuck on one speed This is another common problem, and 95% of the time is due to a blown capacitor. The capacitor determines how much power is delivered to the fan motor. If the capacitor burns out, only a small amount of electricity will make it to the motor, and the fan will be stuck on a low speed.
What to do if fan speed is not working?
Changing the start or run capacitor should only be done with power to the fan disabled. Ceiling fans that operate at speeds slower than normal can have one of four problems. Two of these issues are mechanical: loss of bearing lubrication and poor blade balance.
Why are my Ceiling fan speeds not working?
If certain ceiling fan speeds are not working, there are a few things that could be the problem. Luckily, finding out the source of the problem is not all that difficult. Essentially, we’ll use process of elimination to get to the root of the problem. The first thing to try is to clean and lubricate the ball bearings.
Why is my blower not working on speed 5?
If your blower is not working on speed 5 then the blow motor resistor (I think its called that) is burnt and you need a new one. It is a 5 minute fix.
Why does my AC fan only work on high?
If your speed selector for your AC or Heat only works on high, or low, or if its missing any particular speed, this video will show you how to fix it once and for all. This is a fix for 2nd generation Dodge Rams (1994-2001-2002 2500/3500) Loading…
What causes a blower fan to turn faster?
The lower the resistance of the selected resistor in the pack, the higher the current that flows through the blower fan causing the fan to turn faster. The statements expressed above are only for informational purposes and should be independently verified.
What’s the problem with my blower motor fan speeds?
Probably a bad blower motor resistor you have there, or possibly a faulty blower motor or switch. The most common thing would be the resistor assembly, as that goes out more often than the other parts. A quick check with a test light can determine failure. No Heat In My 2000 Chevrolet Malibu – Blower Not…
Why is my Ceiling Fan not working after replacing 3 speed pull switch?
I replaced a 3 speed pull chain switch and it on operates in slow and off, I must have the wires crossed on the switch, could you help me with this,I would greatly appreciate it. Which wire off the capacitor goes to # 1,2,and 3 on the switch.
Why is my Hunter 3 speed fan not working?
For those who are having a problem with their Hunter 3-speed fan not working on all speeds, listen up: My fan would work on low speed and high speed, but when I selected medium speed, I got low speed. I tried replacing the switch, but that had no effect.
What should I do if my Ceiling Fan is not working?
The next thing we need to troubleshoot is the capacitor. There’s an easy way to troubleshoot the capacitor and the motor – we listen for a humming. If the fan will run on a slow speed, but not on higher speeds, and you’ve checked all the fore mentioned items, then we need to consider the capacitor and potentially the motor next.
