    Chain stuck on overhead ceiling light
    Chain on overhead combo ceiling fan/light won't pull for the light part. One minute I could pull the chain to turn the light off, and then the next time I went to turn on the light, the chain wouldn't budge - no play at all. Just totally stuck. The fan chain is fine. Thanks.
