Fixing a Ceiling Fan With Broken Light Control

I figured I might as well post the whole process of fixing this fan. To make a long story short, your remote controlled ceiling fan lights are not working probably due to a broken SCR in the control box. Replacing it with a new one should fix that. As well, there is a device called a wattage limiter that can be removed, as it not useful and causes more problems than it fixes.
Stay tuned for my next video on DIY Schlieren photography! I will be using it to take pictures of the air currents produced by high voltage discharges.

I am really excited for the video on Schlieren photography, thanks for the great videos.

I once thought I had a failed ceiling fan remote receiver. I was disappointed it failed so quickly. I was ready to replace it when I discovered that the remote control dip switches had simply moved when it had been dropped since the dip switch codes were different. Once I reset them it worked. Now I always recommend taking a photo of the dip switch settings before finishing up fan installs. It can be a pain to take the fan apart just to check the code. It was great to see your debugging process and I’m glad you got it working.

I was removing a 3d print at work using a razor blade. The blade slipped my finger got sliced. I still have no feeling in most of that finger...

Hey man, can you please provide me with a circuit diagram for the rc car you did a while back? Would be greatly appriciated.

[@phonotical]

man I hate those pull cords on those things

[@phonotical]

what did you do to get stitches?! ouch

[@phonotical]

when you replaced component in the current limiter, how were you planning on heat dissipation?

[@NiHaoMike64]

The real purpose of the "smart" wattage limiter is to add an additional failure point for more sales. They could have done it cheaper and more reliably with a self resetting thermal circuit breaker.

Bro how are u doing? What Happened to your hair? I'm very old subscriber of urs

What happened to your hand? It looks like a Canadian South Park character...

[@TannerTech]

I was at work and the razor blade I was using slipped.

@@TannerTech work?! You should be at MIT making the world a better place with that big noggin you have. :)

Your ceiling fan is going the wrong way

[@TannerTech]

Wow! Thanks, I was wondering why it wasn't blowing air down. There is a switch on the side that changes motor direction. I did not know that before.

never ever handle live!!
