My mom has a ceiling fan with a light kit. When the wall switch (single toggle) is in the on (up) position the fan will run and when the switch is in the off position (down) the fan stops running. OK, that is normal.
Here is the problem, the light will only turn on and off using the chain, and it doesn't matter if the wall switch is in the on or off position. Wall switch up, light turns on and off with chain. Wall switch down, light turns on and off with chain. What is going on here?
BTW, this isn't a new problem. She bought the house 6 years ago and it has just now been brought to my attention.
