Has anyone experienced a hot smell eminating from the fan? Wife and I were smelling something hot and the bulbs (factory) had gotten so hot they stunk

It went away after about a week. Tried LED's but they didn't work. Tech said only the kind that came with it would work.

Personally, I have not experienced anything like that. I am very happy with the fan, it is my second year of owning it, and it works just fine.

Yes, I experienced this. I purchased dimable LED bulbs that don't burn as hot and it fixed the problem. A little pricey, but worth it if you want to use the light.

I have not experienced any smells. What is the condition of your connection wires?
372868
yes, i did. just yesterday was the first time i had the light on for an extended period of time. the plastic got hot and was getting "broken in" and you could smell it. i turned on the fan and seems to have gone away now. sort of like when you get a new toaster or toaster oven. first couple of uses you can smell the parts...

I have had mine for roughly a year and I've never experienced that. I would also suggest checking out the wiring.

yes,..........you must change the bulbs for led. Because they will be very hot and can smell like wire that are burning.

I have not experienced this problem. I bought two of these fans and both have performed great.

No, I answered the question before and said it could be the "crappy" dimmer switch. Then went on to suggest an LED 2.6 watt, candelabra base, bulb and replace the dimmer with a simple on-off switch. Also many components will rust because of the salt.My smart-a** comment was meant for the person who said you will lose the odor by lowering the wattagebecause of no heat.Sorry Susanne

I rewired mine and have a separate switch for the fan and the lights. I often use the fan alone. But I always use the fan when using the lamps to prevent excessive heat buildup.

I have never had mine emit this smell, so I would recommend you check to make sure you took all the adhesive film off all the surfaces. If you have already done that, then I would send it back if you can.

They don't burn hot. They get hot like any other bulb sold out there. There isn't any torture on the wiring. I have had them for quite sometimes now. They've been great.

I have LED bulbs in the fan now. I do not have them set up on a dimmer but that should not be a problem either.

No, I have had no problems with any odor. I am sorry if you had it in the past. I also use a bigger bulb which is 65 watts and there hasn't been any problem either.

No, that is not normal. Mine did not have a burning smell. You might want to contact the seller.

You can just reach in and change the bulb. We have it in living room and bedroom and have not noticed any heat. They look great.

I have not had a problem with the candelabra bulbs in my ceiling fan. I get lots of light from the ceiling fan in my living room. The only problem I have encountered is "flickering light' due to movement of the ceiling fan. Since my ceiling fan light bulbs point out at an angle, I have more than adequate light. Sorry I couldn't help you out more.

All bulbs give off heat.You must have a very, very sensitive sense of smell.Or are you talking about smelling so called "negative ions".It is a freakin decorative lamp. That is all.

Sorry. I did not have that issue as everything worked fine. But you should be able to replace the bulb.

Yes I have noticed it when I replaced my lamp both times I smelt it. The smell goes away I replaced my lamp almost 2 months ago and no issues and don't smell anything anymore. I think I only smelled it for maybe a week.

I've had very good luck with mine, and no issues. Be sure to use dielectric grease on the connections before installing the bulb. Its possible a lack of grease along with thr high wattage could be heating up the connection and shortening the bulb life. Use a plain paper towel when handling the bulb. Oil in even the cleanest skin can shorten bulb life.

We just bought ours and it smells just like burning plastic. When it's unplugged it smells that way, too. It's the odor off the plastic housing.
