Each chain pull feels the same, so I don't think there's a problem with the mechanical switch and, given that the fan is only 2 years old and worked fine for some time, I doubt it's the motor. Pulling the chain to change speeds doesn't seem to change the speed of fan (until you pull to the off position). Recently, however, it will only operate at 1 speed (either low or medium, but I can't tell which). Question: My Harbor Breeze fan operated fine for about 2 years. Give us a call and we can explain the process for you. If you have your original pull chain, and know which positions the wires plug into, we can help. Is the wiring correct? If I did wire it incorrectly, how should I rewire the colors? Also, do I have to buy a new replacement part?Īnswer: There is not a universal replacement pull chain component available for ceiling fans. Now, instead of High, Med, Low, and Off, It only has High and Med, no Off or Low. I wired it back exactly the way it was before ( L-Black, 1-Yellow, 2-Pink, 3(strip)-Grey). Question: I bought a 3 way fan switch replacement at Home Depot for my Harbor Breeze ceiling fan because I pulled the chain right off. If you have a remote control or wall control, there could be a failure in on of these components. In most ceiling fans there is a molex style plug used to connect the switch housing to the ceiling fan. Please help, I am getting very frustrated.Īnswer: This doesn't sound like a resistor or limiter problem. Could there be a resistor going bad? I have no pinched wires I can see or bare wires touching. The fan is five years old and we have never had a problem with it before. When I turn off the lights and back on again later the lights and fan go off again. I reattach the fixture, turn on the lights and fan and it works. However the light fixture is still dangling from it. When I check to see if I am getting power to the lights and motor the lights come on and the fan is working. When I lower the light kit to check the wires everything seems fine. Question: I have a Harbor Breeze Ceiling fan in which the lights and fan will just stop working. Check wire connections at the ceiling and switch housing area. Any suggestion is appreciated.Īnswer: Make sure your reverse switch is fully to one side or the other. The lights work without a problem, but the fan will not work. About a month ago, the fan stopped working. The fan and light each have a pull chain to turn them on and off. It's connected to a wall switch that controls the power. It was working very well, except for the last month. Question: I've had a Harbor Breeze fan from Lowes for over a year. This is most likely a problem with the 190watt limiter installed in your ceiling fan. What is wrong with my fan and how do I fix it?Īnswer: Usually a dimmer or remote is to blame for problems like this. I have tried just using one or two bulbs but the lights are still flickering (and the fan is not even running). I replaced them and same problem, flickering. The lights started flickering in January. I am using 4, 13Watt, CFL bulbs in it which I bought when I installed it. Question: I have a white Harbor Breeze ceiling fan that I bought and installed in September 2010. It can be difficult to troubleshoot or find replacement parts for Lowe's private label Harbor Breeze ceiling fans. “A pinched wire” is most likely the problem. I have seen limiters fail for no apparent reason. Does this mean it will not work with wall switches? I sense either the limiter or the compact nature of the fan switch box causing a pinched wire is the problem but the comment on the last page struck me as odd.Īnswer: I haven't seen a wall control interfere with a limiter. I plan on uninstalling the fan tomorrow to check for possible shorts but on page 11 of the instructions it says: Warning: please do not change to wall control or remote control to prevent limiter interfering with wiring system. The Laurel Glen fan worked fine for 1/2 the first day then I noted the circuit breaker had tripped and I cannot get it to reset. The Halston fans work fine with no problem. Question: I just installed a Harbor Breeze Laurel Glen fan as well as two Halston II fans.
