Ceiling Fan Pull Chain issue

Fold the chain back on itself a couple of times to shorten it, and wrap a rubber band around to hold it during travel.

I shortened ours.

I just continue to complain about ours ! :-)

I use "wire twists" about 8" long. I just leave the pull chains hang down and then wrap a wire twist around the chains. No more problems.

Broke our globe twice. Ended up with a plastic globe and made the chains short.

Not an issue with me, don't have one.

Thanks, Sidecar, that's a big help.

Ours used to get flipped up over the blades (fan only; no light). I got an aftermarket remote controller at Lowes. The receiver wires into the circuit beyond the on-board switch, which is left on HIGH all the time. The entire receiver fits up inside the shroud with Velcro strips.

Transmitter is about half the size of a deck of cards and is mounted on the wall near the outside door.

Works great. One new xmit battery in five years. Sorry, I no longer have the Lowes stock number. I think the kit was from Hunter.

Same issue here. Haven't bothered fixing it as we rarely use the fan. It's so close to the ceiling that it creates little to no air flow anyways.

FWIW: If you are in a DIY mood get a soda straw ( the skinny type), decorate, wrap it or paint it, tread the chain thru it add pull knob to bottom of chain. Might work?

That's a really good idea! Thanks for this. I'll give it a try!
