Title: LIGHTOLIER CCWHISPLC Suddenly Stopped Working At All
Post by: whitedavidp on June 08, 2025, 10:39:07 AM

I bought mine in 2017, new in the box. It has worked great since then. Now it is 2025 and I went to turn it on/off and get no response whatsoever - either using X10 or the physical paddle switch on the unit. When I press the paddle switch, I can see the LED change position as it should. But nothing happens at the fan. Any suggestions? Thanks

If you bypass the switch to power the fan does the fan work?  If yes, I'd suspect a faulty switch.  There's one on ebay right now:

Thanks. I am an idiot and just discovered that I had the fan's direction switch between clockwise/counterclockwise and so it would not work. Once I checked that, as it was the last thing touched with the change of seasons, all is well again. Sorry for the false alarm. But I MAY go ahead and get a spare switch unit. Best!
