My ceiling fan is sparking even though i have turned its switch off. What to do? Will it cause a fire?
With a lot of new ceiling fans, the &quot;switch&quot; in the box in the wall is nothing more than a wireless transmitter and the fan is permanently wired at the ceiling through the wireless receiver. So if that receiver unit fails shorted, the fan cannot be turned off. If you are not comfortable with electrical work, this is something that will require the services of a qualified electrician.
