I have a remotely controlled ceiling fan that does not have a chain pull. The red lights come on the controlled when the buttons are pushed but the fan does not respond. There is electricity getting to the receiver. What is the problem?

Unless you live alone the first thing I recommend is that you compare the dip switches in the hand held with the ones in the receiver in the canopy. Kids, grandpas, grandmas and wives sometimes touch thing wiondering how they work and then they stop working. If all dips match come back and tell us, it could be a bad receiver.
