I have a hampton bay ceiling fan with light fixture that takes 4 bulbs.
I only had 2 bulbs on there for couple of years. I decided I wanted to put 2 more bulbs. I bought the energy saver bulbs they use 35w but equivalent to 75w. (Label on the light fixture says max 60w). The lights work perfectly but when I press the remote to turn off the light it won't turn off. Everything else works on the remote. I can stop the fan slow it down reverse etc.
I tried opening the fixture to see what's wrong. I saw a yellow round transmitter. All wires look good to me.
Also I don't know what happened but when I was removing the light fixture cover and lowering the light. Something blew up. But everything still work in regards to the fan and the lights are still on. Even after I unplugged and plugged the plug that goes from the fan to the yellow round transmitter. (To reset the power to the light). But the light is still on.
What's the solution?
