Electrical help needed!

[monique]

Can anyone help? So the people at Minka sent me a new receiver for my fan that died in a lightning strike, and I think I hooked it up correctly, however when i power it back on, it’s doing like a sputter, not moving smoothly. anything you can think of that maybe I can check, and/ or that I did wrong? I reconnected twice, and took a picture of it to make sure it’s correct.

Since the power gets there, something stuck or lose in the housing of the motor?

No lights, or reverse switch on it ? The only thing I know is there should be 3 wires attached to it, but it depends and some fans have 2 wires -


Does a fan with a light use 2 or 3 wires?
When counting wires in your ceiling box (excluding the bare copper or green ground wire), you will see either 2 wires (Black and White) or 3 wires (Black, Red, and White).

• 3 Wires in the ceiling (Black, Red, White): This is the ideal setup for a fan with a light. It allows you to control the fan and the light independently from two separate wall switches. The Black wire powers the fan motor, the Red wire powers the light kit, and the White wire is the shared neutral.
• 2 Wires in the ceiling (Black, White): You can still hang a fan with a light here, but you cannot control them from separate wall switches. The single Black wire must power both the fan and the light. To turn the light off while keeping the fan on, you will have to use the pull chains on the fan itself, or install a remote-control kit.

I had a Minka fan that died from a lightning strike as well. Found a way cheaper model that had the same electronics. Gutted that one for parts for my more expensive fan.

Fan isn’t hooked up to dimmer switch? Can you turn fan on with multiple switches? Try flipping those.

maybe Sean Young can wipe her lipstick on the fan blades and it will work

It works from both a single on/off switch and from the remote, but I have two of the same fans, one is great the other with the sputter, which is a huge improvement from no power whatsoever. Both remotes work with both fans but I usually only use one.

Is it a Clarkman?

You need to dismantle the latch hasp.
