I was wondering if you got any information on your ceiling fan? Mine stopped working completely, lights too, thanks. Janet

Sometimes the fan can wobble electrical connections loose. Break the circuit and lower the unit with a helper. Check each wire nut, especially the ones containing both stranded and solid wire. If wires aren't also twisted together (nut aside), do so with pliers.

Also, sometimes a circuit breaker looks flipped on but it isn't quite.
