    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.

    Sometimes if you pull the chain and let it snap back it will get stuck, you might try to

    Stick something ( like a wooden toothpick , no metal ) in there, if you are lucky it might

    Get unstuck if not it's broke and needs a new one. Good luck!
