The circuit board is blown and I have to wait 60 days to get a new one, because everyone says they are back ordered from the factory. I think that means there are alot of blown circuit boards out there. The cost of the circuit board is running from 69. I did find one guy that wanted 125., I asked him why so much. I am probably going to go out and buy a new ( cheap ) fan, that will last a lot longer. The prices for spare parts have triple each year since 2004, the finish products fans, light kits and blades have risen in price 80 since 2004, yet the quality is just not there anymore. To make matters more joyful and interesting for us consumers, they have implemented a Unilateral Mandatory Retail Price or UMRP for short, which is basically mandatorypredatory pricing which forces their dealers to follow a rule of reselling their products at higher-prices or risk loosing the rights to sell their crap if they sell for a reasonable price against other dealers. They preach and brag they are the Worlds Finest Ceiling Fans-- yeah right More like the Worlds WORST OVERPRICE Crappy Ceiling Fans. Everything after 1996 when Hunter Fan Co., took over is pure garbage. And they are basically an organized crime operation, a monopoly of fix pricing, cheap goods and abusive behavior towards the consumers. We have a Casablanca ceiling fan, and while it was running, the blade broke off. After it broke off, it hit the wall and put a mark on it and landed on my daughters bed. I cant believe that a blade can snap off at the metal mounting bracket like it did. Pure garbage. And now I have to try to see what can be done with them sending a new bracket. Before buying the expensive Casablanca fan with the Intellitouch control like the 6373T model, verify that the voltage in your home does not exceed 120V by 5 or more. According to Casablanca Customer Service, the computer board on the fan communicates with the Intellitouch wall control and when the voltage exceeds 120V as mentioned, the signaling between the Intellitouch control and the computer board is interrupted, causing the fan to intermittently stop working or not work at all. If youve already purchased the fan and are starting to have trouble with it outside of your warranty period, you may want to stop spending money on the replacement parts and convert to a remote control system for the fan. For the 6373T model (probably the same for other models too), youll need these three parts: 9901190, the receiver board, 7801440, the wiring harness and 7801410, the w62 remote control. The conversion is fairly easy and youll have six speeds to set your fan at instead of the five currently available with the Intellitouch system. Casablanca should develop their Intellitouch system to handle voltage within 10 of 120V since voltage throughout the country can vary that much. Your utility company will not be adjusting the voltage for you so that your Casablanca fan might operate either. If anything, Casablanca, or at least SOMEONE, should bring back those great designs that Casablanca once had.
