    Remote control ceiling fan problems
    A few months ago I installed a new remote control (no chains) ceiling fan . Surprisingly had a burned light bulb already (mini halogen) It was suggested on an internet post that my voltage may be high an I could purchase a 130v bulb instead of a 120v. So because I was too lazy to open up the fan and undo the wires for checking the voltage I from the top of a ladder stuck my tester's needles directly into the narrow socket with the power on. I of course created and heard a short almost right away before I could get a reading. The really cool thing is that it started my fan by itself. Ok, it's not that cool, now, if I turn the wall switch on the fan is on full blast regardless of what I do with the remote. The only way to turn it off is to flip off the wall switch. Fixable? Good puzzle? Or not even?

    You will need to replace the receiver in the fan.
