We can't figure out how my 2 downstairs bedroom fans just stopped working. They are both on remote controls and we even changed their batteries. NO GOOD... we yanked the chains, nothing... checked all my fuses in the main box... the light switch on the walls are both on, and to top it off... everything else in the rooms are working fine, tvs , alarm clocks, small desk lamps.. its not possible that both fans died at the same time, and if they did , wouldn't the light kit on them work? Maybe not but doesn't seem possible... This is bizarre... I checked all GFI outlets... my handyman downstairs came up and he was shocked as well. I might want them to undo the wiring that he made 11 yrs ago to the remote... and switch it to have them wired without the remote.. any suggestions or brainstorming would help me PLEASE...
Thanks so much Risa

Hi,

Do you have a voltage testator or a VOM? You need to test for voltage at the ceiling fan outlets and then work backwards to the wall switches if there are ann.

Also, 11 years on a remote is a lot of years. It may be cheaper to just replace the fans.

OK... my neighbor will be in later to see about the voltage... but I have no clue if it is attached to the wall switches.. because I have always used the remote ONLY...

Really... 11 yrs on a remote.. I never had to even change their battery... I mean all you do is touch light or low speed... it is just weird how the 2 fans just stopped...

11 years on the batteries, stat there first!
