Yes, residential ceiling fans feature manual on-off control mechanisms, though their type and location vary depending on the model. Traditional ceiling fans utilize a pull chain connected to an internal switch to control the fan motor speeds and a separate pull chain for the light kit. Additionally, almost all ceiling fans are wired to a wall switch in the room. Some modern models also include wireless remote controls or wall keypads with dedicated power buttons. You can troubleshoot control access easily by inspecting the housing. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when pulling the manual chain or toggling the wall switch successfully turns the fan motor and light kit on and off.
