How To Replace A Hunter Ceiling Fan Pull Chain

Replacing a ceiling fan pull chain is a relatively simple task that can be completed in just a few minutes. By following the steps below, you can easily replace the pull chain on your Hunter ceiling fan and restore it to proper working order.

Materials Needed

New pull chain
Needle nose pliers
Replacement knob (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Turn off the power to the ceiling fan at the circuit breaker.

This is an important safety precaution to take before working on any electrical components.

Step 2: Remove the old pull chain.

Use the needle nose pliers to gently grasp the old pull chain and pull it straight down. The chain should come free easily.

Step 3: Remove the chain connector.

The chain connector is a small metal piece that connects the pull chain to the fan motor. Use the needle nose pliers to gently pry the chain connector open and remove it from the pull chain.

Step 4: Attach the new pull chain to the chain connector.

Insert the end of the new pull chain into the chain connector and close the connector securely. Ensure that the connection is tight.

Step 5: Thread the pull chain through the fan housing.

There should be a small hole in the fan housing where the pull chain passes through. Thread the new pull chain through the hole.

Step 6: Reinstall the fan knob.

If you are replacing the knob as well, simply slide the new knob onto the pull chain and tighten it securely.

Step 7: Turn on the power to the ceiling fan.

Test the pull chain to make sure that it is working properly.

Tips

* If you are having trouble removing the old pull chain, you can try using a pair of scissors to cut it off. * When installing the new pull chain, make sure that it is long enough to reach the floor. * If you lose the chain connector, you can purchase a replacement at a hardware store.
