Casablanca fan speed problem

Fan operates by a wall switch with three buttons, light, fan speed, and Power. one touch on the fan speed normally gives low speed, then pressing 2 times gives medium speed, and so on. Now, one press on the button gives only high speed, no low or medium. This has happened to two of these ceiling fans. Do we need a new switch or what?

If this fan has a pullchain that also controls the fan speed, and you have a remote, the pullchain has to be set for the highest speed. If it is set at medium or low, it will mess with the remote operation. Note: usually high speed is the first pull after the "off" position.

Casablanca Isatope 52 inch fan not working

You are exactly correct...

Power flows to the fan as soon as the circuit is closed.

All the light (diming) and motor power, speed & reverse are all
controlled by tones from the switch to a receiver inside the fan housing... (only 2 wires + ground).

I have BOTH (the old style 3 switch) and the newer 4 button "W32" ... use the same tones BUT ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE...

In my opinion
The premier site for ALL FAN switch troubles
is the "FAN-MAN" (see below).

Are the fans all on one main line just for the fans and are they plugged into a GFI receptacle. If so you may have to reset the GFi or maybe your electrical box needs to be reset.

I have a casablanca intellitouch ceiling fan and if you change a bulb while the unit is powered on you ruin the control board. The control boards are expensive but easily replaced by a diy-er. I think I have encountered this problem twice. These fans are very well made and in the past I decided it was worth repairing. However with the new fan technology out there it would be wise to shop around and weigh your options.

How do you program a casablanca fan remote control to work for the fan?

Howdy,

Casablanca control systems are specific, for instance Inteli-Touch (4 button wall control with power fan light and reverse buttons) uses power line signals to a computer board inside the fan's motor housing and a remote control using RF will not work. However, you do not state what control you have, or what specific control you wish to attempt to use with the fan. Some will work some, will not.

Thanks and Reply so I can better help you!

Intell-Touch instructions for casablanca fan/light

Light Operation: With the light in the off position press and hold the light button (do not let go). The lights should start at a dim setting and gradually get brighter and brighter. When they get to a setting you desire let go of the light button. To reduce the brightness of the light you must first turn the light off, and then press the light button and hold it in as described above. If the light is off, and you press the light button quickly to turn it on, the light will go back to the previous setting. So if you last had the light on the high setting, it will go back to the high setting, if you had the light at a lower setting it will turn back on to the lower setting. Keep in mind you can increase the light intensity at any time by pressing and holding the light button, but to decrease the light intensity, you must first turn the light off, and start over by pressing and holding in the light button.
Fan Operation: With the fan in the off position, press and hold the fan button (do not let go). The fan should start at a slower speed and get faster and faster. When the fan is at the speed you desire, let go of the fan button. To slow down the fan speed you must first turn the fan speeds off by pressing and releasing the fan button. If the fan speeds are off, and you press the fan button quickly to turn it on, the fan will go back to the previous setting. So if you last had the fan at the highest setting, it will go back to the high setting, if you had the fan at a lower setting it will turn back on to the lower setting. Keep in mind you can increase the fan speed at any time by pressing and holding the fan button, but to decrease the fan speed you must first turn the fan off, and start over by pressing and holding in the fan button.

The Intelitouch wall control operation is intermittent. If the power button is off for a period of time, when powered on the fan doesn't operate properly. I need to push the reverse button, power the unit...

Your control is malfunctioning. If the fan will sometimes operate normally, it is not a problem with the board in the fan. The replacement control is $50~ through Casablanca, but you can find them on ebay for half that cost, or less. Depending on your model of fan you may have the W-32 control, or the W-33. Most likely you have the W-32, but, reply with the model # and I'll let you know which control you have.

Thanks
