The product, in the report: Model # CF700WW05 Electric Mo. JFJ15A01 UL- E130543, 23FB, Listed Fan 52G
The fan had been working that day, up until we noticed it wasn’t and the power switch was still in the on position. My husband shut off the switch and then tried going to a different speed, but that still didn’t work. The bedroom , where this fan is located in, also had a terrible oder; liked burnt plastic. We aired out the room, which helped somewhat and just left the power to the fan off until our small grandkids left to go home. My husband then disconnected the fan and took it down, only to find the capacitator had started to melt, which is what we were smelling. This really upset me when I thought about what could of happened, since our 2 year grandson was sleeping in this room. We are now leary of the remaining 6 ceiling fans we have. All 7 fans were installed by a licensed electrician, during the construction of our home, back in 1996. This was an incident that could of resulted in our home burning down and/or lives being taken. We will never buy Emerson ceiling fans again ! This was also another inferior product, MADE IN CHINA !!!!!! Why couldn’t a safety switch (breaker) be installed on any electrical product that would shut down the unit as soon as it starts to overheat? This would be inexpensive and save lives, provided they aren’t manufactured in China.
