Default Hunter Ceiling Fan no lnger works

My Hunter ceiling fan (model #25560) and its lights no longer work
when I pull the pull-chains.


The fact that neither lights nor fan work suggests/indicates that there
is no juice to either, as opposed to the fan motor not working or a pull
switch malfunction or a fan reversal switch being in neutral.

The juice to the two, fan and lights, is common, whereas the mechanism
for turning them on and off and reversing is separate.

The fan/lights are NOT controlled by a wall switch nor by a
remote-control.

The wiring between the fan and the electrical panel is OK and all of
the circuit breakers are On.

Does the fan have a reset button? If so, where is it?


I would access what is likely the wire nuts for the electrical
connection to the fan and lights after you have double-checked that you
haven't made an error in evaluating whether the circuit breaker for the
fan/light is properly identified.

It isn't 'logical' electrically speaking that there isn't a wall switch
somewhere for a ceiling fixture. Most likely when the electrical
circuit was installed, there wasn't a ceiling fan/light there (yet). I
have 4 ceiling fans in my house and they all have wall switches (in
addition to whatever other controls they have).

One of those wall switches of mine is used so seldom I can hardly
remember where it is. More than once I have thought something was wrong
with my remote for the ceiling fan/light because the remote 'wasn't
working' to turn it on.
