Check whether you have a faulty connection somewhere between the switch, fan, and circuit breaker. A short or an overloaded circuit can cause the breaker to trip or turn off. Check to see whether you have loose switch wiring.

Please, I need new one control thank you

I think you have a mixed or a connected wire problem. It looks like your breaker has tripped, doesn't need to spark... :) to trip. Is everything the same voltage ? Are you sure there's power at the switch mentioned..
Don't take anything for granted, respect electricity..

I've seen refrigerators that are working fine blow GFI outlets when the compressor starts, usually just change to non GFI outlet for fix. You say its tripping GFI breaker , is there anyway to test it on non GFI breaker?

Good way of asking for help!-- Thank you!

First make sure the circuit is not tripped at the Circuit Breaker--
(Are other lights on the same circuit still working OK?)

You will need to verify which breaker controls the voltage to this fan--
and you will need to turn the breaker OFF, while dismantling the fixtures.

Can you communicate with someone at the Breaker Box, while you work safely?
Have them turn the circuit on when you are safe and ready -- and reading voltage, etc.

Next-- Do you have a dimmer switch, (or just a wall switch) on the wall?
Do you know if the power is supplied to the ceiling, thru that wall switch?
If so, check to see if the dimmer or the switch has power coming in and out at the wall, and heading up the ceiling supply wire.

If the power is supplied at the ceiling, then you are going to have to get a safe ladder, and remember Ladder safety rules!

The tough part, is getting the heavy fan and light assembly safely down, where you can make some voltage readings at the supply circuit wires at the ceiling--

Maybe you have found a loose wire nut by now?
Or maybe a defective dimmer or wall switch?

Or what are you observing at the junction box, and the fan motor now?

Tell us more-- and we'll see if we can help yo to the next step.

Mack B,

The reason why the breaker stays tripped is a result of a direct short. Unplug every electrical device plugged into an outlet in both rooms and try the breaker. If it stays on, individually start plugging in each device until the breaker trips, that is the defective device. If the breaker stays tripped, start checking wall outlets for short circuits with an ohm meter. If you did not find a short, check your hard wired lamps and appliances for shorts. If you did not find any shorts the only other problem is a shorted pair of wires in the wall or ceiling. You will need to disconnect any hard wired lamps and appliances and check for shorts between individual pairs of hot (black) and neutral (white) then hot and ground. I have a short circuit finder, but you do not need one because the technology is not perfect and you may have to manually check for shorts with a meter anyway which never lies.

did any outlets stop working, mat be a tripped or bad breaker in elect. panel she if one breaker is tripped. flip off and back on, could se short in fan but unlikely. if cannot see tripped breaker, turn off computor, tv, any appliance you have on and go down breakers and flip off and back on. if a short is present one breaker will trip back off. call repair

Whew! You'll need to trip the breaker that the fan/light is on and make sure that the circuit is dead. Turn the wall switch to "off". Gain access to your wiring connections at the ceiling. If you are operating the fan and lights via a single wall switch, proceed as follows: Your motor hot wire from the fan is black (usually, but verify all wire colors with your instruction manual, just in case they differ), and the light hot wire is usually blue. In your ceiling box, you will find black wires twisted together as well as white wires twisted together. Look for a single black wire that is not a part of the black twisted bundle. This wire will be the return wire from the wall switch and is the wire that will supply electricity to your fan and light when the circuit is powered up and the wall switch is "on". Connect the motor wire (black) and the light wire (blue) from the fan to the black wire. Locate the white wires from the motor and the light and connect these to the white bundle. Fasten all wires using wire nuts. Make sure that no parts of the wiring are left exposed. Electrical taping is a good idea, but don't let it be a substitute for the wire nuts. Be sure to connect the ground wire. Turn your breaker back on, and turn the wall switch to on. Verify proper operation of the fan and light by operating the pull chalns.
Hope this helps. Best regards, --WoobieDog--

OK, here we go. Hi, WoobieDog here. First, try to operate the pull chains on the side of the fan, usually one for the fan, one for the light. If this doesn't fix the problem, proceed as follows. What else is on the same circuit as the fan? Usually there is more than one light on a circuit. Do the other devices still work? If NO, the problem is probably your breaker. If the other devices do work, the problem is probably at the fan or the wall switch. Trip the breaker on the circuit that the fan operates on, and turn the switch to "off " at the wall. With the fan still mounted, gain access to the wires at the ceiling. Where you connected the wires, test for loose connections and visually inspect each wiring connection. When you remove each wire nut, you should see both wires making a good connection to each other and that the wire nut was making the twisted wire connection more secure. Make sure that you have connected the wires in the proper manner, that is that the fan motor wire (usually black) is connected to the proper switch at the wall for on/off operation and that the light wire (usually blue) is either connected to the light switch or to the same hot line as the motor wire if you are using the pull chains and a single wall switch. Don't overlook the neutral (white wire) connection, as a bad connection on this line will prevent both the motor and the light from working, as you described. If all is well there, close the wires back up under the mounting bracket. With the breaker still tripped to the off position, operate the forward/reverse slide switch on the side of the fan, if equipped. Put everything at the fan back to operating conditions. Turn the breaker back on. Operate the wall switch/switches. Operate the pull chains as these are additional switches inside of the fan and light.
Hope this was helpful. --WoobieDog--

Trip the breaker and verify that the fan/light will not operate. If tripping the breaker kills the circuit and flipping the wall switch would not, the switch is probably bypassed. Place the wall switch to "off" with the breaker tripped to the "off" position as well. Gain access to your wiring connections at the fan. Look for a single (black) wire that is not connected. This should be your hot return from the wall switch Make your fan/light connections to this wire. (Are you sure that the ground wire that you connected is a ground? If it is, it should be bare copper with no insulation). Your white (neutral) connection to the three white wires should be fine. If you don't find a single wire in the ceiling box, call on an electrician. Regards --WoobieDog--
