WHAT THE RESULT MEANS
Next step
If the light works but the motor does not, the issue may be limited to motor control, the receiver output, or a connection. If neither fan nor light works, first confirm incoming power and receiver power. If wall power works but the remote does not, continue with the remote pairing guide.
