Have you come home to find a light on ; and you are positive you turned it off?
Does is come on sometimes for no reason? and then your find it has turned itself off?
This problem it caused by the same technology that allows you to change the channel or volume on your tv while you set in an easy chair.
The problem is called a remote control. Some new fans have a remote control that operates the fan light or the fan speed via a radio signal. If you installed the fan yourself and left the security settings ( usually a 4 position dip switch) at the factory setting, you may have interference from other fans or even from a neighbor.
here are a few tips on how to get rid of this unwanted “ghost”.
- Change the settings on the fan and the remote– (they must be the same)
- Change the settings on one of the other fans in the house. You may be causing your own problem with multiple fans.
- Ask your neighbors to use their fan remotes. See if this activates your fan.
