If your Harbor Breeze fan is working but the lights aren't, start by re-installing the bulb(s). Next, ensure the plugs in the switch housing are connected properly. If the issue persists, turn the power off and check all connections at the ceiling outlet box.
How to fix excessive wobbling in my Harbor Breeze fan?
Excessive wobbling in your Harbor Breeze fan can often be fixed with a few adjustments. Start by checking and tightening all screws that hold the fan blades to the blade arms and the blade arms to the motor. If that doesn't solve the issue, try switching one blade with a blade from the opposite side or use a blade balancing kit. Turn off the power, loosen the canopy, and verify that the mounting bracket is secure to the electrical outlet box. The bracket must be flush without movement against the outlet box, and the outlet box itself must be secure. If the fan is too close to a vaulted ceiling, consider using a longer downrod or moving the fan. Finally, lift up the yoke cover and tighten the set screws on the yoke until secure.
Why is my Harbor Breeze fan so noisy?
If your Harbor Breeze fan is noisy, several factors could be the cause. First, check and tighten all screws that hold the fan blades to the blade arms and the motor. A cracked blade can also cause noise, so replace it if necessary. Ensure you are not using a full range dimmer switch to control the fan speed, as the wall control might not be compatible. Also, make sure the outlet box is securely attached to the building structure and that the mounting bracket is secured to the outlet box with tight screws.
What to do if my Harbor Breeze fan does not move?
If your Harbor Breeze fan isn't moving, try the following: First, firmly push the reverse switch completely to the left or right. Ensure that the wall switch is turned on and that the power is on, or check the fuse (breaker). As a last resort, turn the power off and check all the connections at the ceiling outlet box.

This document describes the installation, operation, and maintenance of the Cedar Shoals Ceiling Fan, models #40045 and #40156, from Harbor Breeze.
The Cedar Shoals Ceiling Fan is designed to provide air circulation and illumination for indoor spaces. It features a motor assembly with five blades and an integrated light kit. The fan can be installed using either a standard/angle mount or a closemount method, depending on ceiling height and angle. The fan speed is controlled by a pull chain with four settings (HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, and OFF), while the light kit is controlled by a separate pull chain for ON/OFF functionality. A reverse switch on the motor housing allows the user to change the direction of blade rotation, enabling different airflow patterns for warmer or cooler weather. In warmer weather, the fan can be set to push air downwards, creating a wind chill effect. In cooler weather, it can be set to draw air upwards, helping to circulate stagnant hot air from the ceiling area.
The fan offers flexible installation options to suit various room configurations. The standard mounting is recommended for ceilings 8 ft. or higher, with an option for a longer downrod for taller ceilings. Angle-style mounting is suitable for angled or vaulted ceilings, provided the ceiling angle does not exceed 16°. For ceilings lower than 8 ft., a closemount installation is available. Flushmount installation is not supported for this model.
Before installation, users must ensure that the chosen site allows for a minimum clearance of 7 ft. from the blades to the floor and at least 30 in. from the end of the blades to any obstruction. The fan's net weight is 17.9 lbs., and the outlet box must be securely attached to the building structure and capable of supporting at least 35 lbs. of moving weight.
The wiring process involves connecting household supply wires to the fan's lead wires (Green, White, Black, and Blue) using provided wire connectors. A second hot/power wire from the outlet box can be connected to the Blue (light power) fan wire for separate control of the light and fan. It is crucial to ensure all connections are secure and no bare wire is visible.
Once installed, the fan's operation is straightforward. The fan speed is adjusted by pulling the fan pull chain, cycling through HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW, and OFF settings. The light kit is operated by its own pull chain for ON and OFF. The reverse switch, located on the switch housing, allows for seasonal adjustment of airflow. It is important to wait for the fan to stop completely before moving the reverse switch and to ensure it is set fully to either the left or right position for proper fan function. If the switch is in the middle, the fan will not operate.
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the Cedar Shoals Ceiling Fan. At least twice a year, the canopy should be lowered to check the downrod assembly, and all screws on the fan should be tightened. The motor assembly can be cleaned with a soft brush or a lint-free cloth to prevent scratching the finish. The blades should also be cleaned with a lint-free cloth.
For bulb replacement, the fan uses 60-watt max. E26-base LED, CFL, or incandescent bulbs. Halogen bulbs are not recommended. Before performing any maintenance task, including bulb replacement, the main power supply to the fan must be shut off. Water or a damp cloth should not be used to clean the fan.
The manual includes a troubleshooting guide to address common issues such as the fan not moving, being noisy, or exhibiting excessive wobbling, as well as problems with the lights not working. Solutions include checking the reverse switch, wall switch, power supply, wire connections, and ensuring all screws (blade, blade arm, mounting bracket) are tight. For wobbling, balancing the blades with the provided blade balancing kit (AD) or ensuring the mounting bracket is secure are recommended steps. If the fan is too close to a vaulted ceiling, using a longer downrod or relocating the fan may be necessary.
The product comes with a lifetime limited warranty on workmanship and materials for the fan itself, and a one-year warranty on all other fan parts (excluding glass or plastic blades). The warranty does not cover damage from accident, misuse, improper installation, or unauthorized service. It also notes that a small amount of "wobble" is normal and not considered a defect.
