    Ceiling Fan Goes Backward
    I bought a house with a celing fan in my bedroom. There was no owners manual and no label on the fan inside or out to indicate who the manufactured the fan. The fan runs in reverse only. How do I get it to go in the right direction? What part might need be replaced? Where can I find the part? Is there another way to find out who the manufacturer is? Thanks!

    Does it have pullchains?
    Usually a slide switch on fan switch housing or on top of motor, DON'T Switch while running opposite direction.
