I just installed the second fan.
Same problem. takes almost 6 seconds to make 1 rotation on the slowest
speed.
high speed is about 60rpm.

Time for a volt meter check.

just curious.. what if i do check it and its low.
what will be needed to do?
the people upstairs have a ceiling fan and it works fine.

You should have 120 volts available from the house wiring. That's
all. The same as what you have in the receptacles that have working
appliances plugged in.

Better yet just lay the two wires across a normal 100 watt light bulb
and see if glows bright. That's even better than a volt meter.

Usually Black is hot and White is neutral. The other wire is ground
and can be about any color or bare copper.

after doing some reading on volt meters and ceiling fans i think it is
probably a good idea
to use one to test and make certain theatthe current is off. I might as
well use it to test for the 120 volts.

i have 2 wires coming out of my ceilings. one black and one white.
you said white is neutral and the white wire coming out of the remotes
receiver is white
and has a tag on it reading "neutral in" i was told to connect that wire to
the green wire on the ceiling plate.
i guess the best way to see if there is an error in the wires would be to
first see if my fan is getting the 120 volts.
however you guys/gals know much more than i do and i am not getting much
help from the tech support from hunter.
and thank you for the tip about the 100 watt light bulb.
