  Courtney FloresAug 2, 2025
  If your Fanimation fan won't start, there are several potential causes: 1. A fuse or circuit breaker may have blown. Check both the main and branch circuit fuses or circuit breakers. 2. There might be loose power line connections to the fan or loose switch wire connections in the switch housing. Inspect the line wire connections to the fan and switch wire connections in the switch housings, ensuring the main power is turned off before doing so. 3. The remote control battery could be dead. Try replacing it with a new battery.

  If your Fanimation fan is making excessive noise, consider these potential causes and solutions: * Ensure the blades are properly attached to the fan. * Check and tighten any loose screws in the motor housing, but avoid overtightening. * Make sure the screws securing the fan blade holders to the motor flywheel are tight. * Verify that wire connectors inside the switch housing aren't rattling against each other or the housing's interior wall, ensuring power is off before inspecting. * Note that some fan motors are sensitive to solid-state variable speed controls; if applicable, consider an alternative control method. * Tighten any loose screws holding the blades to the blade holders.
