Replacing a broken pull chain switch on a ceiling fan.

Ceiling fan chain broke off.

The first hour my mother in law decides to try out the ceiling fan. Most of these fans are operated with pull switches to adjust the speed and light settings. Yet a broken ceiling fan pull chain is a common problem for many owners of ceiling fans. If the chain on your ceiling fan has ever pulled out then this is how to repair it.

Ceiling fan lights are an attractive way to lower your cooling bill. The fan is now on at max whenever the unit is turned on. The chain that control s the fan speed broke off my ceiling fan from what i m reading it appears i need to replace the whole fan switch isn t their a way to just reconnect the bead chain without having to replace the whole switch. I still have pull chains to turn on and off the light and a chain to reverse the direction.

Over time the chain attached to the switch can jam keeping you from pulling it. Both for looks and for saving energy a ceiling fan is a great addition to any home. A few models do allow you to reattach the chain but you must access the switch before. Now it s on high and i can t shut it off.

So i move into my new house. When this happens the easiest solution is to simply replace the entire switch assembly. A broken pull chain on a ceiling fan almost always requires replacement of the on off switch as a repair. The switch will also need to be replaced if the chain will not pull down or if it broke off inside the fan housing.

During the summer it draws warm air upward and away. During the winter the fan pushes warm air down into living areas. An easy repair you. I went to turn on my ceiling fan and pulled the chain.
