A newly purchased ceiling comes with a warranty. You can avail of this warranty and ask to replace or repair your new fan free of cost. In case you have an old ceiling fan then you can check the following steps.
4 Reasons – Why is my ceiling fan not working?
MCB trip
First, check your room MCB from the main switchboard. If it is down then this may be a reason why your ceiling fan not working. Simply switch up the MCB button. If this is good then check the next step.
Poor switch connections
Maybe your fan switch connection is loosened or burns due to overheating or shortcircuit. I will advise you to call the electrician if you have no idea how to check or make connections.
Bad ceiling fan capacitor
There may be a problem with your ceiling fan’s capacitor. If your fan capacitor is faulty then your ceiling fan will not spin. Try to replace the fan capacitor with a new one of the same rating.
Damage Motor
If all the above are not the case then your fan’s motor is damaged. Maybe its winding is burnt due to overheating or other reasons. If this is the reason ask your electrician to repair the fan motor.
