Not to insult your intelligence, since you seem to be one of the rare

"winter" setting.)- Hide quoted text -


I'm sure that they're set properly. Many things in the house were
done by the previous owners...as cheaply as possible.


Which way the fan blows has nothing to do with the builder. It's something
the user chooses to do. Some stupid fans have a switch on the motor housing,
and it's out of reach.

I remember one of those. I could reach the switch, but it was just an
inch below the blades. Not easy to operate without getting your
fingers scraped.

As a result, people never think to see what it does.
It reverses the direction of rotation. Other fans (like Casablanca) have
that control as part of a really nice wall switch, so you're more likely to
notice it and find out "hey how about that - one of the kids must've pushed
the "reverse" button. That's why we're not getting downward air movement."
