We shall troubleshoot these problems one by one.
First of all, check the tightness of the screws using a screwdriver and tighten them.
1: Ceiling Fan is not working or start
- Firstly, check the main circuit breakers, circuit fuses and wall switch position. Turn off the power to do this inspection and also check the wire connections.
- In addition, check the connection of the pin connectors as they may not making good contact.
- Now, check the fan receiver, it may be possible that it is defective so replace it.
- Check the frequency settings.
- Replace the batteries of remote control if your fan won’t start.
2: Fan is Wobbling or Shaking
- Make sure that the canopy pin is properly set into the slot of the ball.
- Check the balance of the blades, blade holders are not bent while installation.
- Make sure that hanger bracket is tightly affixed with the ceiling outlet box.
- Now, check that downrod is assembled correctly and all the screws are tightened.
- Check the glass shade screws, lighting fixture screws and light bulb and tight them.

4: Ceiling Fan is not working at Low Speed
If you are running the fan at a slow speed using a remote and it won’t run at a slow speed allow the fan to break-in.
5: Light Problems
Fan is working fine but no light: It means that either you have a defective receiver or defective motor or broken socket so replace them.
Fan and light on full, unable to control: It happens due to the defective receiver, replace it.
Fan is ok but light is not dim: It happens due to the defective receiver, replace it.
6: Fan Starts working itself
It is happening due to frequency interference; change the frequency.

My lovely Casablanca light and fan – only the fan works… and only on high speed. Oh, and now its developed a sort of rhythmic beat.. No light. No low speed.. no matter.. the switch doesn’t seem to be ‘clicking’.. How do I fix this problem – call an electrician? Is it an interior problem in the fan that an electrician cannot fix and would then I have to buy a replacement fixture.?
Go through our troubleshooting guide, If the problem persists, contact a professional thanks.
My light went out instantly yesterday afternoon and the fan will not operate at all either now. When I flip the power switch on the wall on I can hear the beep coming from the fan so I know electricity is up there. But the fan will not operate nor will the light turn on. I have replaced the batteries in the remote control. Any suggestions on troubleshooting this? Is there a reset button somewhere that I can push?

I have two fan units in adjoining rooms separated by a wall. Each unit has it own fan control. Recently, both fans react to either control, so if I turn on room A, room B starts running. How do I isolate the transmitters. This is a new problem for fans that have been running independently for several years.

Troubleshooting problem. Need to speak with Casablanca Fan tech support representative. Please provide PH #. Thx
I am installing a 99103 light kit on a Casablanca 6645G fan. The light kit will not come on. We have confirmed that the light kit works, but not through the fan. The fan itself is having no issues. We have done all troubleshooting that we are aware of-light bulbs, wiring, switch, etc. What other causes may there be?
I have a 4988D fan/light
The light wont work. I changed the capacitor and the light pull chain switch and new bulbs. Nothing
I did notice a discoloration on the white wire to the bulbs, checked the wire and seemed OK.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank You
I have a new 99019 Casablanca Universal Handheld Remote that works fine then it stops working. The blue LED lights up when the remote is working but when the remote isn’t working the blue LED doesn’t light. If I remove the battery and then reinstall the battery the remote works again for awhile. Even tapping the remote has no effect. Replacing the battery with a new battery doesn’t help. I only have the fan connected to the remote, the light is directly connected to a wall switch. I have installed a few of these remotes connected this way for other people and they have worked fine for years.
