Ceiling fan light kit installation troubleshooting.

This ceiling fan although i don t know the make or model is your typical contractors grade ceiling fan. Installing the ceiling fan with a light requires wiring the light to the main wiring. If your ceiling fan light isn t working try replacing the pull chain first. Again take a picture of the wiring then undo the two wire nuts that wire it to the rest of the light kit.

Ensure the wires you ve run through the electrical box can reach the assembly if necessary. Consult the installation guide and correct the issue. You can install a new socket in some ceiling fan light kits but with a charred socket it might be best to replace the kit. Install bulbs that are specified by the manufacturer for best results.

After 30 minutes of teetering on a high ceiling to add a light kit that would not light i pulled the fan s ceiling cap and found that the idiots who installed the fan didn t take the extra what three seconds to connect the blue light s hot wire to the black incoming line.

If you ve recently installed the fan allow 24 hours for the ceiling fan to adjust. If your ceiling fan has a light kit tighten any loose screws securing the glassware. Confirm the light bulbs are firmly threaded into the socket. Pull the kit from the switch housing to access the wire connectors.

Remove the screws holding the light kit to the ceiling fan.
