    Ceiling fan pull chain does not work
    The chain no longer works to turn on/off the light. I would like to know how to take apart the fan & repair the problem.

    The ceiling fan light switch is easy. Switch usually available at a hardware or ceiling fan store.
    Crimp connectors may be used by the OEM. Wirenuts can be used on the replacement. It's an SPST pull chain switch with only two wires.
