Check your capacitors to see if they're bad. That's the black box near the pull chain switch with wires going to the switch. If bad call 1-888-830-1326 Hunter parts. 2 wire part # 74132-01-000 ( probably not this one) Other capacitor part # 74133-05-000 (probably this one)
well, they could have. but before you throw it out, go to the hardware store, and buy a new pull switch. either that, or just run it with the high and low speeds. It shouldn't hurt it at all. But, if there is any clicking sounds, or wierd noises coming from it , DON'T USE IT!! it may catch fire. but it did last a long time. 20 years is good for a modern celing fan. though I like my antique 1907 westinghouse 72 inch 2 blade fan. It hasn't died yet!!!
if you have pull chain switches in addition to the remote control, your pull chain switch may be set to Medium, which would make the fan run on a maximum of medium speed.
Sounds like the fan is defective. All internal wiring from the switch to the motor is factory installed. The fan has power going to it. Just to make sure, double check the wiring from the ceiling fixture to the fan.
Problem could be a faulty switch on the fan or faulty motor(bad winding for med. speed). Try reverse switch on the fan to operate the opposite direction and see if medium speed works. If medium does work in opposite direction, it pretty much points to a defective fan. In any case, unless you discover that the ceiling wires were reversed going into the fan, I'd say new fan to the returns dept.
I am thinking the fan is bad if you can disconnect the fan motor leads and ohm them out. White is common Red is low speed Black is high speed. You might have other colors like blue which would be med speed and maybe orange witch would be med low. There is a small run capacitor on the fan so replace both fan and capacitor at same time. After you ohm out the motor of course. You should have resistance on all leads. Use white as the main one and check each speed. Replacing the motor isn't too tuff little hard getting it out of squirrel cage
