Hi All,
Trying to ascertain why a DC MinkaAire fan (84") will no longer change speeds, or in some cases even start itself in the lowest setting speed.
I have replaced the receiver/controller on the fan (U shaped PCB), but the new one did not resolve the issue.
I can get the fan to run consistently on Speed 1, but only after spinning it a bit by hand. And, sometimes I can get it to run on 2 or 3, occasionally on 6, even (not often). Most times shifting from 1 to 2-6 is only met with repetitive clunking as it spins down, but in all cases as long as I don't let it stop, it will return to Speed 1.
MinkaAire, true to their reputation, ----ed out "it's the receiver," but would assist no further except saying "go buy a new fan."
It's only three years old - a beautiful piece of work - but, silly to just throw away.
Thoughts of options - and, or how to troubleshoot? (there isn't much to troubleshoot since it is brushless, right?)
Thanks!
