I just put on oil lubricant (a lot I think) on my ceiling fan because it making noise. Right after that then I switched it on and it went well. I turned it off after several hours of running. When I tried to turn it on again, it failed to function properly. On the first try to turn it on again, the ceiling fan run well on the highest speed, then I went to turn it to lower speed and at this moment, it stop functioning.
Everytime I turn it on or change the speed, the fan only tend to move a bit and stop. (Just a little bump). I gave a push but still it didn't go far and wont continue to turn. I have changed the capacitor with equal farad as previous, but the problem still persist.
suggestion please.
Oil the switch. If it still doesn't work, replace the switch.
@edgarblythe,
hiya, Edgar. what about the bearings and the motor?
@Ragman,
He could get it to run, but it quit when changing speeds. Seems like a switch problem to me.
@enotyphoon,
When it should be on and is not moving, is it humming like it is getting power?
