Had 3 installed and pull chains don't pull smoothly. Light fixture shakes when i pull. Is this an install problem or fan problem?

We also have installed 3 of these fans and have noticed the same thing. Otherwise the fans are great.

Could be an install problem... No shaking with mine when pulling the chain for fan or light... Are you forcefully pulling? Are they all like this ? Who installed...

Have you checked all the connections to make sure they are tight? My husband loves his light and luckily no problems. If we had a problem we couldn't fix would have a lighting shop check it out, since we like it so much. Sorry I can't help.

Out of the box is setup to be hard wired. I replaced a fixture that was controlled by a 3way wall switch. Worked fine. I am not much of an electrician but I would guess it would take some doing to make this work on a pull chain. Might want to look for a fixture with that feature already on it.

Yes it comes with nice chains for both light and fan. I control it by a wall switch with light dimmer and variable fan settings. Great quiet, well made fan - very pleased.

Yes, the fan comes with 2 pull chains. Each chain has a medallion on end to signify either the light or fan. Both chain lengths are about 12" long and are the same color as the fan.

No. If you really like this fixture, I suggest you have an electrician install it. I think it's great the way it is ! (swags are over-rated !)

I hung mine from the same chains as my old fluorescent fixture.I don't remember if it was set up for it or if I modified it.Either way, it was a cake walk to hang it from chains.

hi, mine was installed by electrician, works perfectly, a balancing kit might help your situation, thanks.

Most fixtures with a pull chain use a switch similar to this GE Pull-Chain Switch 54365 If the lamp is mounted to the ceiling, and you pull the cord straight down, the cord is actually at angle perpindicular to the opening, which creates friction. You can reduce this pulling the cord away from the fixture as opposed to straight down. Alternatively, you can replace the pull-chain switch with one that is designed to reduce friction at various angles. For example, Gardner Bender GSW-35 Nick Pull Chain Switch, All Angle Pull, 6A 125VAC, Single Pole Single Throw, ON-OFF, Wire Leads Please note that I have not personally used either of these models, and am not endorsing them. I just listed them as examples of why some cords may be harder to pull than others.

is chain adjusted properly...is it too loose? is chain installed correct direction? Sorry, just brainstorming.

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...

Both of mine were weak so I replaced both. Your concern is a good one because they are VERY stiff when first installed. It took both hands to pull the rear "door" down. However, after a few months it becomes easier to pul down. Hope that helps.

I had them installed for me. And your right they did have some trouble also. They are up and I do like the lamps I have used them in two rooms andthey work well. I believe it was the wall bracket bar that the lamps screw into that he had to adjust. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

There are designated holes in the diffuser for the chains. I have both a light and fan speed chain that extend through mine.

my fan came with the lights. I haven't needed to change any yet. i would look at the instruction paper to see what the manufacture requires for the lights. good luck.

No, I could not find it. Usually there is a switch on the side, above the blades, this model does not have one. Another answer mentioned pulling the chain, but there are only 2 chains, one for the light, and one for the fan. Pulling the fan chain does not reverse direction, it controls speed setting.

It sounds like either a bad connection, or there's a problem with the rheostat. I would unplug the unit, remove the bulb and try to reseat it. If that doesn't work, try a different bulb. If that doesn't work, try leaving the light on at half strength and see what happens.
