Have a Hunter model 28675 ceiling fan with two light fixture. Turned lights on, heard a pop. One of the bulbs blew, turned black. Now the lights will not work with new bulbs.

Is the fan and light kit equipped with a wireless remote control? If so a short in the light fixture sockets will cause a backfeed into the electronic circuit boards of the remote controls receiver and burn it out. If you have a voltage tester or pigtail with a light bulb remove the screws for the light kit and disconnect the two wires from it. Connect your voltmeter or pigtail to the two wires that were connected to the light kit. Have someone turn on switch for light or push light button on remote and see if you are getting power, If you are then problem is in light kit. If no power is present then receiver for remote is burnt out. Depending on the fan receiver can be built into the fan or located inside the top canopy and can be easily replaced. As per the light kit having a watt regulator it is possible that was installed to prevent overheating of the sockets by the manufacturer. That can also have blown out causing no power to get to the bulbs. If you have power at the wires that connect to the light kit then the watt regulator is defective. You can bypass the part but you must insure that you do not install bulbs that are of a higher wattage then what the fixture is rated for. Or you can order a replacement from Hunter. Good luck.

Sounds like the remote receiver units (located where the mains connect to the fans) took a surge and have failed.

SOURCE: Ceiling fan lights do not work

You may have shorted out the light kit. Did you remove the other bulbs and put in new ones? They may have all blown when you heard the noise. Try that first, and if it still doesn't work, you may have to buy a new light kit. They are not expensive, and you can buy one without the glass bulb holders or cans, whatever you have. Then you can still use yours after you install the new light kit. Good luck!

This may not apply. There could be an electrical problem. But if you installed the bulb with your hand, the oil on your skin can cause the buld to heat excessively and fail. I suggest you use the packaging or part of it when installing it, taking great care not to touch it.

SOURCE: Fan with remote won't work with wall switch. I

I just recently purchased a hunter ceiling fan w/light and remote. Had it installed and wall switch would not work, only remote. I contacted Hunter company directly about this problem and I was told that they redesigned their fans with remotes so that only the remote works for turning off power to fan. The person who made that made that BRILLIANT change should be fired. So to those of you who own a newer hunter an product with a remote ne your wall switch will not work tat s te reason why.

Newly installed Hunter remote will work light and fan if only 2 of the 3 bulbs are installed.

Did you install the correct wattage? If you put in 2-60 watt try 3-40 watt instead .

I have Hunter ceiling fan / light. I installed it. It worked fine for a little while, than one bulb blew out, then a second bulb blew out, now none work. Yes I repaced all the bulbs, still don't w

I would check with a voltmeter if you can safely to verify power at the light socket using an adapter to a plug in it. If you can not do that, with power off you may want to make sure that the socket contacts are good and clean. Sometimes they can become tarnished badly.

Fan works fine, lights don't. Could it be the remote?

Had this happen to me and it was a hunter fan. Similar problem. Fan worked,lights went out. Took light bulbs out, lowered the light fixture. Tested power coming from the ceiling to the quick connect pins for lights. The power was good. So the Problem's in the light kit. Turns out the government requires all new fans to have certain wattage to lights, set at 190. So 3 60w bulbs or 4 40w. Inside the light kit is a limitor hooked to the black power wire coming from the quick connect,It is smaller wire and mine was pink into limitor and white coming out. Not very big. This went bad so i called Hunter, sending new light kit, but I just wired straight black to black wire bypassed that limitor and lights work fine

I have a hunter ceiling fan model 23898 which has a dimmer switch built in one day a light bulb blew out on it and now we cannot turn off the lights with the switch the only way is to loosen the bulbs in...

Has anyone found a solution for this problem? I have tried a bulb in each light socket and attempted to use the pull/dimmer switch that is on the fan itself. The lights no longer dim nor turn off. I have unscrewed all of the bulbs and tried each bulb in each socket one at a time and still nothing. I have also taken the pull switch out of a different hunter fan to put into this one, hoping that atleast the lights would turn on and off. Still the lights won't turn off using the pull switch. I am out of ideas.

We heard a loud pop & now the lights won't work. Tried new bulbs & nothing. Can we order/buy a new light assembly?

Best to look for a wire that shorted out ( made the popping noise) and repair it.
Turn the power off and disessable the fixture carefully looking for a wire that the insulation ha worn through or that has broken or come free. You'll also probably find a nice burn mark.
Check the breaker that the light is on also ... it may be tripped
