Hi,
I have just installed a new ceiling fan in my living room. (Hampton
Bary Berlini)
I have the power on, and using the remote I was able to start the fan
spinning on LO, I then put it to MED and it did not speed up, but
rather coasted slowly to a stop. Now I cannot get it to operate at any
speed.

When it was spinning there was no indication there was any difficulty
with turning the blades (no wierd noises). I can still spin them
freely by hand.

The remote is still causing the fan to click, so I'm fairly confident
it is getting my signals...it does not seem to be working however.

My question is, can anyone think of something foolish I have overlooked
in my install that would cause this problem? Or does it just sound like
a faulty fan I need to exchange.

Thanks
Steven

Could be a dud. I replaced a failed ceiling fan one time and the new
one would not work either. Not believing it could be dead right out
of the box I was checking voltage at the mount, switch everywhere.
My BIL (brother in law) checked all the same things I did and we both
determined the new fan had to be bad. As a final test I wired a jumper
cord to it so I could just plug it in the wall and sure enough it was
bad. Back to the store, return for another and all is well now.
