Ceiling fan remote, starts fan, but fan won't stay on

I have a Loews, Harbor Breeze Ceiling fan, 3 speed (no mod. no.), with remote, mod. UC7097T. The entire fan & remote are 2 years old. The remote starts the fan, but 1 second after releasing the button, the fan starts to slow to a stop. I replaced the 5 lead capacitor with EXACTLY the same one & connected it color for color. I have no change in the fan failure to stay on, at any speed. The 2 lights function fine.
Also, the fan will run, as long as I hold the remote button down.
Any ideas ??
Thanks, Genie2

Can you run the fan if the remote was taken out of the equation? In other words supply current directly to the fan. If it works, then your remote is bad.

I was thinking the same thing, my problem is that the antenna is flat against the ceiling, so the entire fan would have to come down. The fan is 16 feet off the ground & I have no helper.
I do appreciate the suggestion, thanks.

Connect light fixture to outlet?

H

hokiem on Jan 17, 2015

In a bathroom I am remodeling, there is an electrical outlet that is over the sink. The outlet is attached to the wall light switch such that when the ceiling light is turned on, the outlet is powered. When the light switch is turned off, the outlet is not powered. I would like to mount a vanity light directly over this outlet. Can I simply connect the light fixture to this outlet (simple black to black, white to white in the outlet)? The way the outlet is wired, the light would turn on and off with the wall switch. Thanks for any help!

Low voltage landscaping light splice

I have two lines that comes from my transformer and feeds 4 landscaping lights no each side of my walk (8 total lights). My walk is about 40 ft away from the transformer. While trimming some hedges, I accidentally cut one of the transformer lines. Subsequently, only one side of my walkway lights now work. I tried to splice the cut lines together, but my lights still don't work. Can someone please let me know what I can do to fix this condition. I would rather not replace the entire length of line that comes from the transformer. Thanks! Brian
