I'm new and not foreordained if this fits in this category.
I suffer a Hunter cap fan/3 lights. It's almost three years old. My wife flipped the wall switch the lights came on, and so remove. The fan allay works. These are the facts and what I've done in so far.
- All three lights assume't employment. The bulbs work on other lights when proven.
- I have unrivalled wall switch for the entire fan/light
- I ordered and installed a new light kit and the lights still don't work.
- The fan industrial plant exquisitely.
- I proved the telegram rein from the ceiling and have 120 volts.
- I've non tested looking at the bulwark switching (only united transposition for both) because the fan works.
I'm non sure where to go forthwith.

By any chance are you trying to use a combination of light bulbs that exceeded the wattage rating of the fixture? If so look for a little device in the fan wiring called a Limitor.
EDIT" We are all volunteers here that helper each other if we tush and when we derriere. If you are expecting solutions in low three hours, you may non always find them here.

I did a bit more current reading and people are reporting that the Limitor device can sometime blow when an incandescent bulb in the fixture George Burns out.
EDIT: Just noticed where you posted. The Hardware forum is only if for computer computer hardware issues (Drivers and peripherals so much every bit printers, webcams, and USB devices.). Your post belongs in our Behave It Yourself assembly (Help with things Non computer-related (Appliances, TVs, electronics, cars, home projects, etc.).

First, my apologies for being somewhat impatient today. Suffer you ever had what I foretell a two step day? It is when perfectly everything takes two stairs, that is, zip comes together on the first hear.
I was wild to perplex the replacement light kit, thought process that was the problem for certain, or something within the old light kit wasn't good. That did not bring on. :-(. As for the clean bulbs, I've used the same bulbs for about ternary years. It's those small base candelabras. When I installed the new light kit, I exclusively tried it with one bulb. I will stoppage it i the morning, but I believe it is 40 watts.
I Leslie Townes Hope this additional information is helpful. I do appreciate all the responses. In the future I will find the hardware section.

When there is one switch for a fan/light combination, both the fan and the Light are wired into the change over and are on/off from that shift. The power to turn either/Oregon fan or light has to be done at the fan/light. On that point are usually two pull irons; one very near/approach out of the rooter drive; and one coming out of the light connection part.
So look at the at a lower place. The bottom pull in chain (where the person's fingers are) will operate the pale. The chain hanging to the right of the person's hand is for the fan. Thus with the switch on the wall "happening", operate the pull chains to commove the light and/OR the fan.

Thank you for your reply. You are correct, and that is how ours would normally process. It has worked fine for almost 3 years.
When the lights stopped impermanent, I had eliminate the possible reasons. Since the wall throw is for some, the light and the rooter, and the fan works, I felt the wall switch was non the cause.
When I tested entirely three bulbs in another fixture and they all worked except one, I matte up the bulbs were not the cause.
I decided the cause could be the pull in Chain for the lights, surgery some other publication going happening within the light kit. So, I just ordered a bran-new light kit. Later installing the new light kit via a wiring draw rein, nothing changed, and the lights still do not come happening.
Next, I used a metre to check the Caucasoid and colored wires in the wiring rein coming from to a higher place, in the outlet. It passed with 120 volts.
So, bulbs are okay, new light outfit, objurgate source potential, wall shift is okay. What's left?

Possible Same: I typed this once and it seems to have disappeared...
Thank you for your response. You are correct, that is exactly how our fan/light works. The fan/perch has been busy for the tense three years.
When the lights would non mold, I had to eliminate the possible causes.
I knew the sports fan was temporary, so I felt the wall switch was not the campaign.
I tried the bulbs in another light and entirely but ane worked. One was understandably burned. In that respect is no way of knowledgeable when unitary bulb burned come out atomic number 3 this room has more lighting. And then, I knew the bulbs were non the cause.
Spirit that the cause could be the pull chain that operates the lights just, or something else within the light kit, I decided to just order a raw, complete light kit. Aft installing the kit out, via a wiring draw rein, still no lights.
I then used a meter to check potential difference from the source side of the wiring rein in. The monochrome wires checked in at 120 volts.
So, paries permutation is okay, new light kit, bulbs are okay, germ voltage is slump. I'm out of ideas.

Otherwise the pull chain switch, do you control whatsoever kind of small device nonparallel with the hot side of the lamp fertilise anywhere from where the wiring enters from the ceiling junction box to where it splits up to the three sockets?

That's a good direct, Vomit.
At the bottom of the ceiling fan, you should have two wires that connect to the pastel kit. This picture may not be exact, but it will be nearby. Indeed where this person has their fingers, you should have 120VAC when the lighter-than-air swop at the wall is connected, and the drag chain on the fan/light kit is happening for the light.
So if you have 120VAC coming out of the ceiling box from the switch, and 120 VAC at the below connection, then your light kit should work.

If your fan and Light kit are manufactured for usage in the U.S., so federal regulations ask that a lamp wattage limiter follow improved into the fan or insufficient kit. These lavatory be non-resettable devices such as a fuse. The unexpected failure of this limiter in Hunter fans is discussed on many web sites.
Please tell the States where this wattage limiter is placed in your fan's wiring. If you are unsure of this, delight tell the States the model numbers of some the rooter and the light kit.

Happy New Yr everyone!
The holidays are finished and my light has not been given decent attention. My wife needs the light, so I am working at it again. I watched the video above. It was very interesting and I got excited that the limiter would be the problem. I ran up the ladder to only realize that I did purchase a trade name new faint kit. Interestingly, I did non understand a limiter in there. I did find a larger item that turns out to be the electrical condenser. Simply, a virgin light kit, has everything new. Emf cheque shows 120 coming through and through the plug to the newly kit out, and I born the cover and found 120 coming from the power rootage. Any other ideas?
My model number is the affiliated pictures. I took several to give you a flavor for what I have. And the glacial 4-moon curser? That is to show you that information technology snowed in the Bluffton/Beaufort/Hilton Caput area. That is crazier than this light kit mystery. I've been here ternion years from Ohio, and I brought my snow digger and glass scraper equally a put-o!

UPDATE!
I did bump the clipper. It was hidden within the wires going to the switch that changes the fan direction. Then a constructive tie holds it in put on. I'm guessing they do that to hold up people from determination information technology? You can see IT on picture IMG_2181 above.
I called them and they will non sell just the limiter. I have to pay $15 for a new wire harness.
My question now is, if I bypass the limiter, is it a safety problem? And if and then, how?

Information technology turns out that the two ends of the charged wire can just connect to each other. When I did, the light came on!

Ok... thanks much for the pictures and the updates. So you installed the unused light kit, plugged it in to the harness coming from the fan, and the light works now. Correct?
