    Ceiling fan popping noise
    Yesterday I was turning off the ceiling fan in my daughter's bedroom (it's a fan - light combo but only the fan was on; fan and light are controlled by separate wall switches) and when I flipped the switch off I heard a fairly loud "pop" and I think I saw a brief flash of light from near the fan housing. My wife said she has heard a pop once or twice in the past also. I have not turned on the fan since and plan on taking it down to inspect it but I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on a possible cause.

    The pop has only happened when switching it off and never switching it on?

    What make and model is the fan?

    Does it still function as it should?
