    Hunter Ceiling Fan On/Off Pull String Out of socket
    The pull string for the on/off switch pulled out of the socket. Can the pull string be put back into the socket?

    Yes, you can, on some. Easier to replace.
    If you do, remove from housing, Watch for spring wire, and parts. Probably less than 6 parts.
    Usually chain breaks, Remove broken piece, install good chain.
    If string, Resecure.
