.If bulb is ok, you will have to make sure the switch is matched with the fan (ususally a set of 4, 6 or 8 micro-switches have to be set the same in both switch and fan to be on same frequency of communication – even if you have an exact US 9051T controller).

.A whole new fan is not too expensive ($100) and may be best route if you use the fan alot and it is over 7 years old – just an option.

.Also, just because the light doen’t work doesn’t mean it is the switch transmitter that is broken, it could also be the receiver. Call the company on the website below – they will either tell you how to check or you can send everything to them and they will check for you.
