Pull Chain On Ceiling Fan

A ceiling fan pull chain is a simple device that allows you to control the speed and direction of your ceiling fan. It is typically located on the bottom of the fan, and it consists of a chain with a weight at the end. When you pull on the chain, it activates a switch that changes the fan's settings.

Pull chains are available in a variety of lengths and styles, so you can choose one that matches the décor of your room. They are also relatively easy to install, so you can do it yourself in a matter of minutes.

### How to Use a Pull Chain

Using a pull chain is simple. To turn on the fan, simply pull on the chain once. To change the speed, pull on the chain again. The fan will cycle through three speeds: low, medium, and high. To turn off the fan, pull on the chain one more time.

Some pull chains also have a reverse switch. This switch allows you to change the direction of the fan's blades. In the summer, you can set the fan to blow air down to create a cooling breeze. In the winter, you can set the fan to blow air up to help circulate warm air.

If your pull chain is not working properly, there are a few things you can check.
