We got this ceiling fan shortly after we moved into our house. We have been able to to find parts to fix it for over 2 decades. Now we are having trouble finding a new light kit, which are no longer manufactured. So we sadly have decided to replace the fan because the lights don’t work properly anymore.
I even tried threatening it with replacing it. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. It’s like hitting the old style cathode ray tube TVs. Sometimes hitting them in the right spot would make it work just a little longer until dad could come home and pull out the burnt out tube, then go to the store and buy a new one to plug in. Then the television would work until the next tube burnt out. We could always get new tubes. This time it did not and no parts available. So tomorrow after lunch we will have the fan and lighting unit replaced. I really hate designed obsolescence. It is a tremendous waste of resources. Not to mention more things landing up in the landfill.
