Thank you
Ok. I give up. What’s the difference between stopped and off? As I’m sure you’re aware, it should have three speeds, then off. It sounds to me like the capacitor in your fan is shot. A very inexpensive and easy fix, if that is the case. I’ve replaced dozens of them and found the best place to purchase them is Amazon.

And if you have a Kichler fan, such as one The Villages uses in new homes, you’ll more than likely need a 5 wire unit such as this.
