Problem for Casablanca Fan 6646T Panama® Rustic Iron Ceiling
We just installed yesterday. Ran it with remote
By cledo40728 on Sep 25, 2009
We just installed yesterday. Ran it with remote for about 3 hrs, on and off, tested speed, reverse, all worked. Come back 5 hrs later and go to turn it on and it does not work. Usually i hear a beep when i use the remote but now nothing. What happened? Remote is fine batteries wise, i reset by turning power off, but just seems to be dead.

- Thanks for responding so fast! It was installed by a professional but i suppose the wiring could be loose, but very doubtful. There is no fan pull chain on this model. The remote frequencies are set by switches which were never touched. As I posted, it was working and then when I came back 5 hrs later to try out my new fan, zero response. What should I do?? The biggest bummer is that the ceiling is 16 feet in the air and requires scafolding that was taken down. I was really hoping to fix this fan by not going up to the unit costing me more $. Any advice would help. chrisSep 25, 2009
- There is no wall switch for the fan. The only switch is the remote. The circuit breaker is on and has several things running off it that are currently working. If it overloaded it wld have blown the fuse turning off lights in the house. I have already turned it off and back on hoping to reset the fan to no avail.Sep 25, 2009
- Yes it does have LED that lights when the fan button on the remote is pushed. There is NO light on this unit.Sep 25, 2009

- i changed the batteries to brand new ones and tripled checked they are put in right. The remote is lighting, it always has. I thought u meant there was a light fixture on the fan. This model, although it has a feature for a light fixture on the remote, has no light fixture attached to the fan. It is soley a fan unit. I guess casablanca sends out the same remote for all fans. It is definitely the correct remote.Sep 25, 2009

The beep comes from the receiver in the fan hub. If no beep, I would suspect the receiver is not responding to the remote.
Reasons could be:
- loose connections to/from receiver or,
- with bad luck, the receiver could have failed already (loose conections could cause premature receiver failure) or,
- the fan pull-chain switch is off -- your scenario does not allow for the chain being pulled during the 5 hours the fan was not run, but who knows... or,
- receiver/remote are out of synch (set on different frequencies). Are there dip switches in receiver/remote to set frequency, or is the frequency set by the remote with a combination of button pushing? If the latter, maybe the frequencies for the two are were accidentally set out of synch...
More info, let me know...

Does the fan also have a wall switch (which would normally be on -- not used except for emergencies) -- has it been accidentally turned off?
Next, have you confirmed that the circuit breaker for this circuit is on and functioning normally? For example, is there something else on this circuit which you could check to make sure it is powered?

Please let me know if you find anything significant.

If another remote operates the fan then the current remote is faulty. If another remote does not operate the fan, then the problem is up at the ceiling: faulty wiring or a faulty receiver.

- Does the remote have an LED on it which is supposed to light when the remote button is pushed? If so, is this light working?Charlie

- Okay. If I understand correctly, there is an led on the remote and it is not lighting -- correct? If so, check the battery & battery contacts in the remote -- ensure all are clean and tight, and, of course, check that batteries are good. The remote batteries could have drained down in the five hours if there is a fault in the remote.Please let me know if you find anything significant.

- Is there any way you can get your hands on an identical remote to see if that works, e.g.., do you have another one of these fans somewhere else in the house?If another remote operates the fan then the current remote is faulty. If another remote does not operate the fan, then the problem is up at the ceiling: faulty wiring or a faulty receiver.
