Take the ceiling fan down and check to see if there is power in the line going to the ceiling fan, the wires may have shorted out, which can be a major problem (possible fire).
A lot of switches look alike on the outside but are different on the inside. You don't have the correct switch for your fan! Email me with
make/model of fan. Also need to know how many wires on your capacitor & what color wire goes into which slot on the switch. Each slot should be marked 1,2,3 & L. [email protected]
First, you need to know if it's getting power still. if there's power to the fixture, you might need to replace the pull switch. The hardware carry's these part.
Ceiling fans with wireless remote controls have an electronic receiver installed in the fan, which controls the light, dimming, and fan speed. Sometimes the receiver goes bad and needs to be replaced. If you have had any power outages or power surges, they may have fried the receiver. I've noticed that my ceiling fan light turns on when the power is restored after a power outage. Now, whenever my power goes out, I shut off the light switch that powers my ceiling fan so It doesn't experience a surge to to the controller when the power comes back on. I've purchased new receivers on eBay and Amazon to replace my blown remotes and receivers.
This may not apply. There could be an electrical problem. But if you installed the bulb with your hand, the oil on your skin can cause the buld to heat excessively and fail. I suggest you use the packaging or part of it when installing it, taking great care not to touch it.
