    How is the fan controlled, a remote, wall control, or pullchain?

    Ok, that is the problem. If you're going to control the fan with the wall switch, make sure you have the pullchain set to high.

    Thanks, still no dice.. my bad , was working OK at slow speed.. pulled chain to speed up.. now.. motor, you can feel power, but barely moves with wall switch on and high speed, then stops after a couple minutes..?

    Ok, with both the pullchain and wall control set to high, how does the fan behave?

    Try bypassing the wall control.

    Sorry, the wall control is just an on off switch... no speed control
    Thanks

    What was installed in place of the fan, and did that work OK?

    Ok presumably something is wrong with your fan. Most likely, since the fan is new, a bad connection. You should take it back.
