These should look like four small buttons that can be slid up and down to create a unique combination. You may have to remove a panel from the receiver to access these. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slide the buttons into new positions to change the fan&rsquo;s frequency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take the batteries out of the remote and locate the four DIP switches here. They also might be under a small panel under the batteries. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set the remote DIP switches to the same frequency (pattern) as the receiver.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, you have now altered the frequency of your ceiling fan to one that is not being utilized by other devices in your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You&rsquo;re Picking up Your Neighbor&rsquo;s Signal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the previous explanation, if your neighbor has the same remote-controlled fan make and model as you, your fan may be picking up signals from their remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even some ceiling fans of different makes can operate on the same frequency as your fan; there are only four DIP switches so the combinations are fairly limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Either you are returning the &ldquo;favor&rdquo; and turning their light on and off with your remote, or they have a more powerful remote, which allows the signal to reach your receiver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If possible, you can test this theory with your neighbor&rsquo;s help. If they try turning on their fan from their home, you can see if the fan in your home turns on at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If this is the reason your light is turning on by itself, the solution would, again, be to reset the frequency of the ceiling fan&rsquo;s remote. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Power Surges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event of a power surge, the ceiling fan light may turn on by itself. <strong>This can happen for both remote-controlled fans and non-remote-controlled fans.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A power surge can happen for many reasons, but ultimately it results in a surge of electricity rushing through a circuit, which could reach your ceiling fan light (despite it being &ldquo;off&rdquo;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chances are that if this is the reason for your ceiling fan light turning on by itself, it will only be a transient effect. In other words, the light will flash on and then off as the surge passes or the circuit trips. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge.jpg.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19600 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Power-surge.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Power surges can vary in intensity and the resultant damage becomes worse with increasing excess current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all power surges will turn your ceiling fan light on by itself and the ones that do are more likely to be of greater intensity, so you should examine the circuit and device for damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to your ceiling fan light turning on by itself, other signs of a power surge include unusual odors near power outlets, other devices working improperly, and issues with other lights flickering or turning on\/off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frequent power surges<\/strong> <strong>most commonly happen due to wiring damage. If you experience them, it is crucial to contact an electrician to do an inspection<\/strong> as they can be dangerous to investigate and try to fix on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A professional will be able to assess the situation and recommend the next steps. These can range from essentially no maintenance (only unplugging some low-quality problematic device) to small or even large-scale repairs. It all depends on your unique situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Power surges can also be caused by lightning striking the house or an issue with the grid supply to your home. If these are the cause, then a professional is still your best recourse. They may have to install protective devices and systems to prevent surges to your house in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Power Outage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your ceiling fan light may use a smart lightbulb. These are wired and equipped with a battery that allows them to function even if there is no power flowing through the circuit. They are also designed so that they turn on automatically when electricity is restored to your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature is built in because if the bulb was turned off using a remote or app before the power outage, and someone flipped the manual switch a few times while the power was off, then it can mess with the on\/off settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, the light comes on automatically, and you can turn it off, &ldquo;resetting&rdquo; the on\/off switches, as it were. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A power outage may also lead to a power surge<\/strong> as the electricity comes back on. This can happen as electricity suddenly surges when the power is restored and could also be causing the problem whether you have a smart bulb or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some smart lights have a feature in their web application allowing you to choose what settings you&rsquo;d like the lights to have when the power is restored, including staying off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, not all smart bulbs will have these features, so you will have to check if your specific brand is able to do these things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you cannot program the bulb to stay off or turn off again after power is restored, then you will just have to manually turn it off unless you wish to replace it with a model that can be programmed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wiring Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Faulty wiring is an issue that can happen to any ceiling fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes it can be the result of improper installation. This will cause the voltage to come through the wiring at an inconsistent rate, leading to the light turning on by itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To see if this is the problem, you can inspect the wiring that runs to the ceiling fan and look for any kind of defects, such as tearing or breakage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the best-case scenario, you will just find some loose connections that need to be tightened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan.jpg\" alt=\"Man checking the wiring of the ceiling fan\" class=\"wp-image-19601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-768x560.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-735x536.jpg 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-335x244.jpg 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-347x253.jpg 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-520x379.jpg 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-640x467.jpg 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-960x700.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"729\" src=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Man checking the wiring of the ceiling fan\" class=\"wp-image-19601 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan.jpg.webp 1000w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-768x560.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-735x536.jpg.webp 735w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-335x244.jpg.webp 335w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-347x253.jpg.webp 347w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-520x379.jpg.webp 520w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-640x467.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan-960x700.jpg.webp 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/thetibble.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Man-checking-the-wiring-of-the-ceiling-fan.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since faulty wiring can potentially lead to an electrical fire, it should be your number one priority to repair it. You can either attempt to do so yourself or hire an electrician to come in and fix it for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the United States, <strong>hiring an electrician to replace wiring costs $1,375 on average<\/strong>. This can vary significantly depending on the portion of the wiring that needs replacing, how long the job takes, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to fix the wiring yourself, there are many factors to consider. You will need to figure out how you will access the wiring, what supplies you will need, what codes you need to follow, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is highly recommended that thorough research be done before attempting this yourself, as there are dangers that come with working on electrical structures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your research should also extend to whether or not you are permitted to do your own wiring. In some areas, it is against the law for an unlicensed person to perform electrical work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Defective Wall Switch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Issues with a light wall switch can happen for any ceiling fan, especially ones that aren&rsquo;t controlled by a remote. Wall switches can become loose due to how much they&rsquo;re used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is likely the issue if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The light doesn&rsquo;t work when using the switch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The switch turns on by itself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You notice changing between the on and off switch positions is difficult.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The switch doesn&rsquo;t stay in the position you set.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check if it is the wall switch that&rsquo;s causing the problem and you can replace it if it is faulty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Testing the switch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>First, it&rsquo;s important to shut off the circuit breaker. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, remove all coverings from the external wall fixture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01ISAMUA6?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01ISAMUA6?tag=hvacbuzz-20\" target=\"_blank\"><em><strong>voltage tester<\/strong><\/em><\/a> <em><sub><sup>(amazon link)<\/sup><\/sub> <\/em>on the terminals and make sure it reads zero before handling wiring. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If it&rsquo;s safe, you can <strong>check whether the wires on the switch are loose and tighten them if needed.<\/strong> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, turn the power on and test the switch again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If this doesn&rsquo;t work, turn the power off, try connecting both wires to one screw, turn the power back on, and see if the light comes on<strong>.

Most likely, the bulb is receiving more power than it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LED bulbs don&rsquo;t require very much power to work, so in some rare cases, if it is receiving too much power, the bulb may glow even if the light is technically off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an issue that needs to be addressed because supplying too much power to an LED bulb can damage the bulb. Not to mention, it is just a waste of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fix this issue, you will simply need to connect the LED bulb to a lower amount of amps than it is currently attached to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delmarfans.com\/educate\/basics\/how-to-change-remote-frequency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.delmarfans.com\/educate\/basics\/how-to-change-remote-frequency\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goldtouch.com\/stop-bluetooth-interference-messing-devices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.goldtouch.com\/stop-bluetooth-interference-messing-devices\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/taraenergy.com\/blog\/power-surge-how-they-happen\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/taraenergy.com\/blog\/power-surge-how-they-happen\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/home.howstuffworks.com\/home-improvement\/repair\/how-to-replace-a-wall-switch.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/home.howstuffworks.com\/home-improvement\/repair\/how-to-replace-a-wall-switch.htm<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/homeguides.sfgate.com\/troubleshoot-faulty-wall-switch-29112.html\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/homeguides.sfgate.com\/troubleshoot-faulty-wall-switch-29112.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/community.smartthings.com\/t\/faq-how-outlets-behave-after-a-power-outage-brand-differences\/100598\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/community.smartthings.com\/t\/faq-how-outlets-behave-after-a-power-outage-brand-differences\/100598<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/how-to\/how-to-revive-your-smart-light-settings-after-a-power-outage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/how-to\/how-to-revive-your-smart-light-settings-after-a-power-outage<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bing.com\/ck\/a?!&amp;&amp;p=70e4b28f5000223b4069b82d25817e54JmltdHM9MTY1NzIxMDMxOSZpZ3VpZD0wOTExZTY2OC0yNzQxLTQ0YzYtOTYxMy1kZTNhYjE3Y2VhNWImaW5zaWQ9NTIyMg&amp;ptn=3&amp;hsh=2&amp;fclid=8717d21e-fe0f-11ec-8582-1588f9e9df1a&amp;u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmVkZGl0LmNvbS9yL2hvbWVhdXRvbWF0aW9uL2NvbW1lbnRzL25ydWl1My9rZWVwX3NtYXJ0X2J1bGJzX29mZl9hZnRlcl9wb3dlcl9vdXRhZ2Uv&amp;ntb=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.bing.com\/ck\/a?!&amp;&amp;p=70e4b28f5000223b4069b82d25817e54JmltdHM9MTY1NzIxMDMxOSZpZ3VpZD0wOTExZTY2OC0yNzQxLTQ0YzYtOTYxMy1kZTNhYjE3Y2VhNWImaW5zaWQ9NTIyMg&amp;ptn=3&amp;hsh=2&amp;fclid=8717d21e-fe0f-11ec-8582-1588f9e9df1a&amp;u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucmVkZGl0LmNvbS9yL2hvbWVhdXRvbWF0aW9uL2NvbW1lbnRzL25ydWl1My9rZWVwX3NtYXJ0X2J1bGJzX29mZl9hZnRlcl9wb3dlcl9vdXRhZ2Uv&amp;ntb=1<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Picture this&mdash;you are innocently sitting in your living room, watching a TV show, reading your book, or just having a chat with your roommate.
