My fan (about 6 yrs old) is coming on even when the remote is off. I wake up at night with the light on... or the fan on high... this is even with the battery removed from remote. I have no pullchain. Am I in danger of a possible short in the wiring causing a fire? What is my next step?

Hello jeanniepearson

No, I do not think you are in danger of a possible short in the wiring causing a fire.
But your next step is to take the unit down (make a small drawing first what wire goes where), take off the blades, and bring the fan unit to a repairshop for maintenance.
Explain the problem. If the fault can not be located, ask if a pull chain can be installed.

If all fails, it's up to the mall for a new fan...

Success !

Please ignore the above answer.

Some other RF device is interfering with your remote. You need to change the frequency of the fan and remote. Instructions are here:

I hope for jeanniepearson that you are correct on that, ceilingfanrepair.
But if not : will you openly apologize?

And why all that aggression? What is WRONG with you?
I gave my opinon and advice, you gave yours. I never rate any reply negative, just comment. You still have to learn a lot in life !

Mine isn't opinion, it's fact.

I have no aggression. As an expert, it is my responsibility to prevent posters from receiving bad advice. This forum deals with electricity, people can be seriously hurt.

Cred, I've corrected you countless times, and you do not listen. At all. You keep giving the same bad advice. That's not a good thing.

Mine isnt opinion, it's fact.
All you seem to do is protecting your little "shop" you have here...
Just provide your opinion, and correct posts that are wrong - if you want. No problem.
Nowhere did I make dangerous suggestions.
And certainly there is no need for your nasty comments and red stars.

:)

Credendovidis, please stick to topics you know at least something about.
