Turned on light switch and there was a click from the unit and neither the light nor fan work now

Most ceiling fans are factory wired so that the light is independently controlled from the fan, therefore when you turn on/off the wall switch it has no control over turning the light on or off.

However, the light can be wired, inside the fan unit, so that it works in conjunction with the fan, so that when you turn the wall switch on or off, it will turn both the fan and light on or off together.

To do so would require the specific wiring diagram of how the fan unit is presently wired. It's a simple modification, but without knowing or seeing how it's wired (internally) it's impossible to tell you which wires need to be modified and reconnected.

is there a remote control unit with it that may be turning off the light waiting for the signal

Heater keeps turning off and on every few seconds

mcdevito75 here, Generally the Ceiling fan motor is hooked up by-passing the wall switch but still to the hot laed going to the wall switch whlie the lights are hooked up to the hot lead after the wall switch, So without the remote, Manually operate your fan and lights. First with the wall switch off the fan should work and the lights no work. Now turn the fan off with the pull chain on the fan shroud close to the ceiling. Now turn wall switch on and lights should work with wall switch and the fan should also work. if so, re-program the remote or change the batteries or even re--place the remote.

mcdevito75 here, You say fan worked in the past, That tells me the fan has not run in over 1 month if so, try this. First, the fan motor is a sealed unit, without running the fan in over 1 month it may be a little stiuck, put the fan lights on, and pull the fan chain just once and turn the fan blades themselves just a little to get thm started. also verify fan switch itself is good, Chain switch should have the familiar click click to it. If not the fan swich could be bad.

I have the same problem as stated with the light flashing and fan tries to rotate. I found by disconnecting the power wires to the cooling unit, the fan rotates. light works and no clicking sound.
I suspect the cooling assembly is defective causing the unit to not work properly.
Does any one have a part number for this part and where I might purchase the cooling unit. RepairClinic.com does not have thhe cooling unit.

I got a new reciver installed in ceiling fixture,works fine:Boytin

Sounds like the remote receiver units (located where the mains connect to the fans) took a surge and have failed.
