    Elmark ceiling fan only rotate at low speed
    My old Elmark ceiling fan only rotate at low RPM eventhrough set at speed no 3 ? This condition is very obvious when I compare it again the newly install ceiling fan ,the speed is almost 60 percent slower compare to new fan . Is this low speed is due to capacitor problem ? Any method to improve the rotation speed ?

    There is no way to know without testing it with a meter, but if the capacitor was bad it probably would not run at all. More than likely you have a bad switch. You can check it with an ohm meter. It switches power to one of three outputs. If it's bad it will only go to one output terminal.

We have a ceiling fan that was in the living room when we bought our house. At the time, there was no longer a pull chain for the fan. We just replaced that switch, and now the fan only works on low speed. The fan didn't work at all prior to the new switch. Is there anyway of knowing if we can...
