Managing any ceiling fan is quickly done when you have a remote controller, for the ceiling’s height can be too high for you to reach and operate manually. That is the reason why you need to use a remote controller. At times the remote controller can malfunction, and this can make you spend more money by purchasing a new remote controller, which is not suitable for you economically. Under such conditions, you need to learn to operate a ceiling fan manually without needing a remote controller.<\/p>\n

You can do this by buying cheap and affordable products that are readily available at your local store. This whole budget cannot cost you more than $5, hence saving you more dollars, which you’d have spent by buying an entirely new remote.<\/p>\n

Before we start this article, we must understand a ceiling fan’s features before we modify it to one that can be operated without a remote control.<\/p>\n

Components of a Ceiling Fan<\/h2>\n
\n

1. An electrical motor.<\/h3>\n

2. Rotor<\/h3>\n

This is the piece that fortifies the rotating blades and bolts to the motor. Its essential role is to ensure that the fans are well balanced.<\/p>\n

3. Blade arms<\/h3>\n

They connect the blades to the motor.<\/p>\n

4. Ball and socket system<\/h3>\n

This system has a metallic hemisphere attached to it that allows the fan to rotate freely. It is usually helpful to dome-shaped ceilings.<\/p>\n

5. J-Hook and Shackle clamp<\/h3>\n

This is a system for mounting the fan where the ceiling fan hangs on a metallic hook bolted onto the ceiling.<\/p>\n

6. A switch housing<\/h3>\n

This is a plastic or metallic chamber attached beneath and in the middle of the fan’s motor. It hides the oil tank, which provides lubrication to the bearings. It also provides a suitable place to attach a light set.<\/p>\n

7. A down-rod<\/h3>\n

A metallic tube that hangs the fan from the ceiling.<\/p>\n

8. Switches turn the fan on and off and change the blade’s rotation speed.<\/h3>\n

It is can also be used to change the course at which the blades revolve. It controls the lamps that may be on the ceiling fan depending on the different fan models.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

6 Steps on How to Turn on and off Ceiling Fan Without Remote<\/h2>\n

Tools and accessories needed:<\/h3>\n

-A domestic Ladder
\n-tape measure
\n-piece of paper
\n-A pull cord
\n-A pair of Pliers
\n-A knob<\/p>\n

Step one<\/h3>\n

Place the domestic ladder below the ceiling fan to enable you to reach the ceiling fan. Using the tape measure, measure the distance from where the pull switch on the ceiling fan’s housing starts to the ground. Note this reading down on a rough book or a diary.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

Step two<\/h3>\n

Take another measurement of the distance from your feet up towards your neck using a tape measure. Indicate this down in the diary. Using a calculator, you have the height you took of yourself and minus it from the fan’s reading to the bottom. Again note this number down.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

Step three<\/h3>\n

Using the final reading that you got after subtracting, buy a cord that is the same size as that reading.<\/p>\n

Step four<\/h3>\n

Take on the end of the cord and press it to fit through the hook’s hole attached to the housing on the fan. Fix the thread onto the hook with a pair of pliers.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

Step five<\/h3>\n

Take the other end of the cord and insert it inside a knob. Using a pair of pliers, press the knob’s sides so that the line remains fixed in the knob.<\/p>\n

Step six<\/h3>\n

This step involves confirming the functionality of the process.<\/p>\n

Start the motor in the housing of the ceiling fan by pulling the knob. To increase or decrease the rotating fan’s speed, you pull the knob again for the second time. To switch off the ceiling fan also, just turn the knob.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/p>\n

When you’ve decided to start using your ceiling fan manually without remote control, it’s essential to consider the site surrounding it.<\/p>\n

Safety Precautions to Consider Include:<\/h2>\n
\n

-Avoid cleaning your ceiling fan using water. This could cause the motor in your ceiling fan to damage and keep you at risk of electrocution.<\/p>\n

-Disconnect the power first before working on your ceiling fan. Make sure that all the circuit breakers to the wall switch and outlet box are not connected. This is to avoid any possibility of electrocution, which is dangerous to your life.<\/p>\n

– Ensure that you read the instructions very well and understand them before you modify your ceiling fan.<\/p>\n

– Ensure that your ceiling fan is not near any gas appliances in your room. This is because the airflow circulated by the fan blades’ rotation may cause the flames on the gas appliances to light up and eventually cause a fire.<\/p>\n

– Switch off the fan whenever you want to reverse the direction of the fan.<\/p>\n

– The fan should be fixed on a structure that can support at least 40 kilograms of weight. This is to reduce the risk of the fan falling when it’s rotating.<\/p>\n

– It is crucial that you maintain the fan annually because some connections may end up being loose with time. When doing any ceiling fan maintenance, always ensure that the fan’s power connection is off.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

Ceiling fan technology has not advanced much until recently. It is because of the accessibility of energy-saving, remote-controlled direct current fans. Modifying your fan into one that suits your needs comes at a cheaper cost than buying a new and expensive one. Always ensure that safety is observed because your health comes first eventually. Read the instructions provided to you by the manufacturer. Some common ceiling fan manufacturers are; Hunter Fan Co, Emerson Electric, F.A Smith Co, Casablanca Fan Co.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
