Wierd electrical problem
Hello,
A month ago I installed a ceiling fan which has two internal switches; one that controls the light and the other to control the speed of the fan. The power for the fan is controlled by a wall switch, so when i wanted to turn on only the fan I would flip the wall switch to on and turn off the light switch on the unit. Everything was cool up to yesterday. Now the fan works partially when I turn off the lights, it makes a buzzing sound and barely moves, but when i turn the lights on it works fine. Seems like the power to the fan is weak and it gets stronger just when I turn the lights swith on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

sounds to me like an internal problem w/ the fan. Too late to remove and return?? if so contact the manufacturer, ive had personal success in dealing w/ manu's for fans. (depending on who it is!)
