New ceiling fan -- worked about 10 seconds then stopped, help!

The only thing I would suggest, is to be sure any internal splices are tight. Not the power that you connected, since you're getting a clicking sound, that would indicate the receiver is powered and receiving a signal, but any internal connections that you have access to, that would go from the receiver to the fan motor

There's not much that can go wrong. Either you have line voltage supplied or you don't (assuming you didn't do anything silly like have a dimmer in the circuit).

You probably have a dud unit.

check wiring again. may have come loose.

If the speed switch broke, it could have broke in such a way that it effected the fan.

Do the lights work?

Nothing lasts forever. You should have purchased the extended warranty which covers the fan for up to 5 hours.

The fan speed pull chain switch normally needs to be set on high in order for the fan to work correctly with the remote control. Check your instructions. The first pull from the off position is usually high speed, then medium, then low, and finally off.

ROFL!

Could be a dud. I replaced a failed ceiling fan one time and the new one would not work either. Not believing it could be dead right out of the box I was checking voltage at the mount, switch everywhere. My BIL (brother in law) checked all the same things I did and we both determined the new fan had to be bad. As a final test I wired a jumper cord to it so I could just plug it in the wall and sure enough it was bad. Back to the store, return for another and all is well now.
