It seems the house has figured out that I have learned a thing or two about wiring – the kitchen ceiling fan gave up the ghost. I believe it was likely the motor because the light still worked. Because I recently learned the light kit is wired separately, I investigated to see if there was something wrong with the fan wiring. The wiring was fine – likely the motor was burned up. No matter how many time we flipped switches, pulled chains, assisted the fan blades by manually pushing them, or simply cursing the fan, it never worked.

Another trip to The Home Depot and a new fan was purchased and installed within an hour.

Doesn’t look bad…
