why would a power outage stop the fan model-68168 from working

I assume you mean after the power comes back on the fan does not. If this is the case, any time you turn off the power you need to restart the fan using the remote (I strongly suggest mounting this to the wall wherever it is most convenient). If there is a switch that controls power to the fan you will want to always keep this on and use the remote to start, stop and change speed. What do you expect from a fan that has no performance equal for the under a $1000 price range? I personally overlooked the remote control required operation as being a problem since I now have a fan that performs better than anything else under $1000 and I only paid $249. This really is an amazing fan. Mounted on a 12' ceiling you can actually feel a strong breeze on low with the blades barely turning.

i have the same problem. bought 3 fans less than a year ago and 2 failed in the last week. i will try and change the fuses but have put Amazon on alert just in case.

Not sure exactly what "broke" means. There are 2 parts, a fan and a heating element. If both are not working, it must not be getting power. If 1 part is not working, you probably have to try contacting the manufacturer. Good luck.

I don't know, the unit stopped operating. No light, no fan, circuit breaker is not popped so I am perplexed.

The one i got stopped working and so did the replacement after a few usea. It would work olay, but its kindof noisy and the fan is pretty small you have to sit right in front of it for it to work.

If it was working fine and then failed I'd get it replaced under warranty. Sounds like the motor or the fan itself is rubbing and now has completely failed - just a bad unit. But make sure nothing got inside it to bind it up. It should be under the 1 year warranty.

The switch itself is fine.... its the circuit board in the fan that is the problem. If you can avoid it buy a fan that doesn't need a specific/special switch.

Sorry for your problem but I can't be sure my experience will help you. Mine was direct-wired and burned out in a thunderstorm. Replaced it with a different version. Fan still works fine.

The fan continues until you power off the system. Same for heat and cool cycles.

Regardless of power loss (via the switch or otherwise) I have never had this fan forget the remote frequency, fan direction, fan speed, or light on/off status. You're on your own for measuring the phantom load though, sorry!

Don't know for sure. Haven't had that problem that I know about. It works great when power goes off--no longer have to reset the frig and wait.

Try flipping the fan over or reversing the positive and negative wires (leave the ground wire as is). Hope this may work...

Hi Robert, the only info I have from manual and label on fan is that it uses a 125 volt fuse, 25 amp.

Thankfully, I haven't had a power outage since I have had this unit. But, with my other things like fans, for example, they would turn back on when power was restored.

It is more likely the fan motor or switch. Usually when this goes out you will have no fan at all, or it will only work on high speed. I would recommend testing your truck with a multi-meter before ordering parts. Check to see if you have power coming to the fan motor and switch, and you should be able to determine what part(s) you need by process of elimination.

Your best bet would be not to waste your time trying to repair it; replace it. I had nothing but trouble with this unit. Samsung and I sent it back and forth about a half dozen times, in and out of warranty. They always claimed it was fixed; it wasn't. The fan finally conked out on it and capacitors exploded, arced, and flamed. We're lucky the thing didn't start a major fire. Do yourself a huge favor and junk it.

Did you check the power supply? I've heard that has to be replaced often. Especially if there has been a storm.
