• Well these have a timer on them don't they? Make sure the timer is not set to be off at the current time.
• Also make sure the thermostat is properly set or the fan will not engage.
• Those are the two main things that will effect weather or not the fan turns on or not. Outside of some failed circuitry.

if its sat for any length of time the lube on the shaft can harden. remove the grill and spin the blade to see if it rotates freely. using care to stay away from the blades set it to the highest setting and give the blades a little assist to see if it will begin to spin, if it does,, use some WD-40 or Trilube on the shaft of the motor front and backside Good Luck Dave. please take a moment to rate my reply (note) larger fans require more juice to get them going,, so yes , if the cap is flawed and not totally burned out,, ( they are called starting capacitors) then they are not supplying enough amps to get the job done,, which in turn would allow the motor to Hum, but repeated trying will burn out the cap

You can generally find new motors at an electric motor shop, check the yellow pages. However they are many times more money than a new fan. Then add time and your drive to get the motor, my recommendation is purchase a new fan, cheaper in the long run.

yes - if you have power thru the switch and that power is also at the motor and the motor is not turning,, then the motor is bad.
but there is one more thing that I could think to check and that would be to make sure that you have power on the hot and the neutral wires -- as there could be a break in one of the lines. again check and observe voltage at the motor.

Hi,
Online you do not have any replacement part for this specific model of fan.This company doesn't sell parts online.You need to check with the dealer from where you got the fan.They will know where the replacement parts will be available.
Thank you

these switches range from 10-20 dollars and are easy to find online search three speed rotary switch in google

Thr issue you are having you need to look on the motor and see if there is a diagram but you have to use the grey and white for a capacitor because i have an older fan that has no capacitor. and use the red for high

SAME THING HAPPENED TO MINE...THE SWITCH BROKE APART IN PIECES...WHERE CAN YOU GET ANOTHER SWITCH?

You may find the parts that you need at the following web site...http://www.eceilingfans.com/
They have all of the capacitors there. All you need are the number of wires and the capacitor micro-farad ratings.

The wire cage around the fan is like a **** shell. There is a front piece and a back piece that make up the cage. Look for the screws that hold the legs on, one on each side and remove. Once this is done you need to pull the two cage pieces apart to get at the fan.

I have not been able to find a large picture of this fan, but I will tell you what I have run into in the past. On some of the fans there are small clips around the grill where the front and back pieces come together. It would be a case of opening these clips and sliding either the front of back grill off. Reverse the process when putting it back together. On others I have found small plastic wire ties holding the two grills together, one at the screw locations where the legs hook onto the fan. These need to be cut with scissors or wire cutters and replaced with new ones when putting the fan back together. New wire ties can be purchased at Home Depot or Radio Shack.
Please let me know how you make out and I will keep looking into this.

If you can not find the exact parts, you can pick up a generic rubber foot from the Home Depot or even at Radio Shack. They will most likely have a self adhesive on them, but you may want to also add some electrical tape to keep them in place.

Before you replace it, try oiling it -- look at the little oil hole on the back of the motor housing. Or try taking it apart and cleaning it, then oiling.

Did it work before, but gradually slowed down and then refused to start? See other threads on this topic for that fan model.
