I'm on a very tight budget, I'd like to fix the fan myself if possible. However, I'm not sure what the actual problem is or how to fix it.
The ceiling fan is from Deka, but I don't know which model it is. The problem first started a few months ago, and here's what happens:
When I turn on the wall switch, the fan beeps but doesn't spin. When I press a button on the remote control, it beeps again and the blades move just a little bit before stopping. The fan continues to beep as long as the wall switch is on.
I then keep pressing the remote control button repeatedly. Eventually, the blades start moving a little more with each press, but the fan still won't spin on its own. I have to use a stick to push the blades to help them move. After repeatedly pressing the remote button and helping the blades move, the fan eventually starts spinning normally, as if nothing had happened.
However, sometimes, after running for a few hours, the fan suddenly stops by itself and starts beeping again. When that happens, I only need to press the remote button once to get it spinning normally again, but it may stop and start beeping again a few hours later.
but today, after turning it off, and on again. I tried to do the same trick but it barely move at all. not even a bit.
What could be causing this problem? Is it something relatively cheap to repair, or would it be expensive? Since I'm on a tight budget, I'd really appreciate any advice on this
