    What to do if my Air King Ak917 and/or lamps do not operate when the switch is on?

      William LewisJul 26, 2025
      If your Air King Fan and/or lamps aren't working when the switch is on, there are several potential causes: * A fuse may be blown, or a circuit tripped. In this case, replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. * The connector plug from the motor might not be plugged in. Turn off the power, remove the grill, plug the motor into the receptacle in the housing, and then restore power. * The wiring might not be connected properly. Turn off the power and check that all wires are securely connected. * The motor may have stopped operating, requiring a replacement.

    How to fix Air King Ak917 operating, but air moves slower than normal?
    • J
      Jason ReynoldsAug 5, 2025
      If your Air King Fan is operating, but the air moves slower than usual, there may be an obstruction in the exhaust ducting. Check for any obstructions. Bird nests in the roof cap or wall cap where the fan exhausts to the outside are the most common.

    Why is my Air King Fan operating louder than normal?
    • M
      matthewsuarezAug 15, 2025
      If your Air King Fan is operating louder than normal, it could be due to a couple of reasons: 1. The motor might be loose. To fix this, turn off the power, remove the grill, and check that all screws are fully tightened. Then, restore the power. 2. The fan blade might be hitting the housing of the unit. In this case, it is suggested to call your dealer for service.
