Didn't have a problem with mine. Plugged it in to the radio and it comes on when it powers up.

This is not normal be sure your wires are correct if so contact customer support

I got a bad one too make sure the fan spins free if it does and still doesn't run send it back

I installed the fan myself and after following the wiring instructions it did not work properly. I ended up just switching the wires around until it worked. I put this fan in several months ago and don't remember the exact wiring. I left the canopy off and moved wires until it worked. Sorry I can't be more exact with the wiring..

The fan is not programmable. I do have a fairly old unit, probably over 15 years old. You may want to check their website to see if this is now offered.

Just bought mine today and turned it on 4 - experiencing a similar problem: Every several minutes the fan will decrease for a second and then go back to normal. It's almost like a power issue, but I don't notice lights dimming or anything else other than the fan noise for that second...

Maybe check and make sure the wires are connected right . I myself haven't had any problems with it.

I had this same problem, there is an override switch in the fan that occasionally needs to be reset. This happened to us twice, the third time the override switch went and we had to order a new one. Try that first, our new switch and remote work perfectly.

Does you fan work at all? Because if not then it is a fuse or the motor itself. This needs to be replaced when the fan only works on High and no other speeds. Typically, at least from my past experiences.

When the fan was installed the electrician mentioned a lot of options about how it could be wired. We went the simplest route. We do nothave a timer feature. It is possible that was one of the options.

I would have to say that the fan will not work due to fan blade sizing and the screw mount holes.Best advice is to do a google search for just your part number FD8015U12S of which there are many out there to purchase.Amazon does list having one used fan and I would certainly inquire about its condition.Hope this helps.Jerry BrownMedina, OH

You need to run your own power to the unit. The unit is factory ready to accept your white, black and green wiring. I supplied power thru my bathroom circuit, thus the fan is on a gfi circuit....not that it needs to be. You can also adapt it into a cord and plug should you be in the attic with an electrical outlet nearby. Let me know if any other questions. Good luck!

I did look at replacing the fan with a quieter PC case fan. There isn't a connector, it's hardwired. And as mentioned, if you are good with a soldering iron then you should be able to solder a new one in. But is is definitly not plug and play, like you might see inside a computer case.

Do you have the fan light pull cord 'on'? Plus the fan speed pull cord is suppose to be on 'high'? It tells you that you need to have them set this way; mine has worked perfectly for the last 3 months. Only other thing I can think of is; that the connections in the remote in the fan are not connected good or they are not tucked up where the fan blades don't bump into it.

I had nothing glowing on mine. Return it if you still can. The next thing that goes out is the fan motor. I had 2 of these. I just received the 2nd one plugged it in and the fan went out. Biggest piece of junk.

Hi, this product is not the correct product for you. However, at your own risk, and the fan nor the wiring diagram not in front of me to check it. It is really hard to know what each wire is. Typically, the Red and white usually connect to the power, blue to the light (dimming is done usually through the remote receiver) at this point there is usually 1 more wire for the motor. You have 3 left that is because your fan reverses via the remote. You can buy the correct one that reverses on amazon or ebay or try to Google the wiring diagram. I wouldn't touch it unless I knew what was what. You can burn out the unit very easily or make a fire hazard or get hurt.

It really should work...we bought ours off of a distributor from Amazon.com, and they were the only place we could find one. We only paid a couple bucks, my husband put it in the next day, and it has been working wonderfully since. Our capacitor looked just like this one. It saved us from having to buy another whole fan.

I have one & when the speed control switch knob is between settings the fan does not run. I suggest turning the knob to assure it is in the right position
