    Problems with Harbor Breeze 52 in Triton Ceiling fan
    I recently bought a Harbor Breeze, 52 in Triton Ceiling fan, Model 192900. I installed it with the instuctions. Everything was well until the light started to give a strobe effect and the fan makes a groaning sound only on the 1 and 2 settings. The only way to turn off the strobe effect is by turning off the wall switch. Any ideas on how to fix this or should I take it back?

    Wait, what kind of wall switch are you using?

    If it worked for awhile and now doesn't your wiring was likely correct. The fan may be defective so take Ceilingfan's advice, take it back. I have an unlimited warranty in my head. If I buy something and it doesn't work or fails in the first 6 months I do not repair. I take this stuff back to the store and don't mess with the manufacturer. I should not have to handle the repair for something that did not wear out from use.

    Yep, just take it back. If it was a fan you've had for a while and you wanted to fix it that's fine but if you just bought it then it's not worth the hassle.

    I agree with all of the previous posts.

    I guess I was lucky, mine worked for two years. Remote broke. I'll try a real lighting/ceiling fan store next time and ditch Lowe's with their crappy products.
