It is most likely a blown capacitor. Some electricians can repair the fan, but unless they are expert you will probably have to replace it. If it is under warranty take is back and get a new one.
My experience is that first check to see if the fan is getting electricity. If the fan unit has lights, do these come on? Or check the wiring using a volt meter. Listen for the fan motor, etc. As examples, maybe you blew a fuse, maybe the light switch is damaged, etc. After you have ruled out electrical, can you turn the blades manually? If they are jammed, it probably is a loose screw that has come undone or some other obstruction. Most of these fans are designed to operate for over 10 years so their electronics are tough.
The speed of a ceiling fan is typically measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). A typical ceiling fan may have speeds ranging from around 50 to 200 RPM on the low setting, and up to 200 to 300 RPM on the high setting.
If the wiring system in your house is that old, then there is nothing that you can do that is not going to cost you more money than what you paid for the fan. Just wrap the wire up and push it to the back of the ceiling box and enjoy your new fan.
With a typical fan, run the fan counter-clockwise in the summer, and in the winter, run the fan clockwise at a low speed. In the summer, blow the air down to directly cool you. If you have a large room, and you are on the outside of the room, you may want to run the fan in the opposite direction. In the winter, blow the air up on slow to pull the cool air up, mixing the cool air with the warm air at the ceiling, and pushing the air across the ceiling to the walls, then coming down the walls, and minimizing wind chill.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.Yes you can, but the light will only come on when the fan is operating. If there is a three wire going up to the fan from the light switch box then it was pre-wired so that a separate run for a light to be operated independent from the fan. The cable will be a red, black and white wire. The black will connect to the fan, the red to the light in the fan and the white to both the neutrals of the fan and light which is up in the fan housing.If the switch box is only a single gang box there is a duplex switch that can be installed in the box. The cover for this duplex switch is the same cover as a duplex receptacle cover.
The white switch on a ceiling fan is typically used to control the direction of the fan blades. It allows you to switch between the summer mode, which spins the blades counterclockwise to create a cooling breeze, and the winter mode, which spins the blades clockwise to help distribute heat efficiently.
To remove a bathroom ceiling fan, first turn off the power to the fan at the circuit breaker. Then, remove the fan cover and disconnect the wiring. Next, unscrew the fan from the ceiling and carefully lower it down. Finally, remove any mounting brackets and patch up the ceiling as needed.
You simply need to match up with wires on the ceiling fan with the wires in the ceiling. Remember Black is always hot! http://www.harborbreeze-ceilingfans.com/
down for the summer and up for winter
You can find many ceiling fan stores in Calgary by simply looking it up on a directory site like yellowpages. Just type in your location and what you are looking for, in this case that would be ceiling fan stores.
if it is a fan with a light, the bolt that holds up the cover needs to be tightened
Three feet from the ceiling will give a good circulation of air from above the fan. Remember in the summer time the fan blows the air down, in the winter time the fan draws the air up.

whoever asked this is a moron. YES IS IT
To properly install a ceiling fan, first turn off the power to the room at the circuit breaker. Next, assemble the fan according to the instructions. Mount the fan bracket to the ceiling, then attach the fan motor. Connect the fan's wires to the corresponding wires in the ceiling using wire nuts - typically black to black, white to white, and green to green or bare copper. Secure the fan blades and turn the power back on to test the fan.

Hook up a thermostat to your ceiling fan so when your room gets hot your fan will come on!
In a hot room, you want heat to be pulled up to the ceiling, then distributed as cooler air around the room. You would set your ceiling fan to rotate clockwise to do this.
