Step 4 · Test Light Kit (if applicable)

If the fan has a light kit, first ensure the light bulbs are screwed in securely and are not burnt out. If bulbs are functional, check the wiring connections between the light kit and the fan motor housing. Examine the pull chain switch or wall control for the light for any signs of damage or malfunction. For wall controls, you may need to test continuity with a multimeter.
