@@ChavezDIY my chain seems stuck ie doesn't have any spring back.. do U think doing these steps would help? or do i need a buy new switchy thing (the wheel, spring case etc) ? Im asking because accessing my ceiling fan is not an easy thing and i wanna be prepared, lol. And advice appreciated. :)
@ChavezDIYАй бұрын
@@neli.a You can try it out to see if it works. If you want to be best prepared, buy a replacement switch and just replace it. Then you can try to repair the bad switch in your free time. If you are able to repair the switch then you'll have a spare switch for the future.

You saved me a trip to the hardware store! I knew there had to be a way to just replace the chain and not buy a new part. The switch doesn't click and hold onto place until you install it. I thought I did it wrong until I rewatched the video in slow motion. Thank you!

My daughter & I are the fix-it girls in her & her husband’s house! Her husband wasn’t taught nor brought up with someone to teach him unfortunately. My dad taught me & my kids to be self sufficient, how to use tools & do it yourself if possible. We’ve fixed ceiling fans, electrical outlets, indoor & outdoor plumbing, doors, I will rewire a lamp before buying a new one (unless I want a new one!), not afraid to use electric tools & have built many items. It’s so satisfying when you can fix your own!

THANK YOU so much! I watched videos to replace the switches, bought some, but was too aggressive and popped the cover off! I tried multiple times to put it back on with spring, no luck. Was about to buy another switch but thankfully found your video!! Of course bc the wheel wasn’t catching the flap like you said it needed to! I just fixed it thanks to you! Wish I just saw your video to fix the old one instead but alas!

This is an awesome step by step video man. Thank you for this. A few videos before this said it could not be done and simply suggests buying a new switch. This makes it very easy and saves about $8-$11. Thanks for taking the time out to shoot this and show us all the components.

Other videos just said put the wheel back and snap the cover…then you came in with the SIGHT! 😂 yes! I almost wept when I heard you say “but it won’t work yet there’s one more step…” I yelled out “RIGHT?! There is!” Bless you!!! 😆
