Hi, I have a ceiling fan that was installed by the previous-to-the-
previous owners and I need to identify it by make and model. Three of
the four bulbs in the upper lighting fixture are blown and I cannot
get them out. There are little trap-door like panels below each bulb,
but they are too big to fit through the openings. I tried taking off
the entire upper fixture but even with the blades removed, the lower
light sconces get in the way and I cannot open it enough to get the
bulbs out. Also, whoever mounted this fan did a lousy job and it
sways (no, it's not out of balance - just mounted on a single axis
that allows it to swing). So if anyone can tell me the make and
model, I would be really appreciative. Thanks.

If this helps, I just installed a Hunter fan. Instructions we

1. Install mounting plate to ceiling electrical box.
2. Attach fan base to mounting plate.
3. Attach fan blades.
4. Attach light assembly.

You may have to take your fan apart opposite the way I installed mine.

Once the light assembly and blades are removed, the upper cover should
come off completely, I'd guess.


I think you're right. The problem is that I cannot see how to remove the
lower light assembly. It is attached by an axle that goes into the upper
assembly. My guess is that it probably unscrews but I don't want to
force it and break it.
