    Pro tip: Modern American fans are required to have a voltage limiter chip to dial down the lights. They fail. Lots. If your fan lights don’t work, buzz, hum, whatever, take it down and cut the little fucker out, wire back together with wire nuts.

    I’ve replaced two crappy fans with really nice units I found in the trash. 100 how-to’s on YT.

      I do the same thing with fuses. I would send a picture of my little heater but I lost it in a house fire.
