Can anyone identify this fan, or at least tell me how to remove the canopy? It is loose where the downrod connects to the motor, but there isn't a small canopy on the motor to allow access. Any help is very appreciated.

Any help is very appreciated. Hello! Unfortunately I do not know what model that fan is. I assume no screw are visible near the canopy? Try to twist around the little rim on the Canopy and see if that comes off. It is usually either on the edge where it meets the ceiling. There may also be a small trim piece that is hiding the screws on the bottom of the canopy. Wiggle around those parts and see if it exposes any screws. good luck! |

Thanks. The Canopy at the ceiling does have screws and I can remove it. Maybe I'm using the wrong word, but what I'm referring to is the motor housing. Every other ceiling fan I've worked on has a small canopy that covers where the downrod connects to the motor. This one does not - it has a single piece housing that does not seem to have a way to remove it to verify the connection between motor and downrod (see the second picture).

Hello,
The top of the motor housing may be threaded onto a fitting where the download meets the motor. See if you can grab two of those leafy projections on the top and give it a side-to-side twist to see if it moves to tighten or loosen.
Otherwise, it's probably attached with long screws from below (you most likely will have to remove the light housing to access any screws located on the bottom of the housing.
What is that motor housing made of? Plastic? It looks really thick
Hope this helps and take care!
Jim

Thanks Jim. I did try to rotate the motor housing, and it does move a little, but seemed really tight - wasn't sure if I was loosening it or breaking it. I did remove the light and everything else down to the raw motor and didn't see anything that would hold it on. I think you are correct and it will just take more force to unscrew it. I think it is some sort of pot metal.
