When both a ceiling fan motor and its integrated light kit suddenly stop working simultaneously, it points to a total loss of electrical power to the unit. Common causes include a tripped circuit breaker at your main service panel, a loose wire nut connection inside the upper canopy box shaking loose from continuous vibration, a tripped upstream GFCI outlet, or a failed remote receiver module. You can troubleshoot sudden power loss safely by turning off power at the breaker before inspecting components. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when resetting a tripped circuit breaker, securing loose canopy wiring, or replacing a failed remote receiver module restores normal operation to both the fan and lights.
