Here's another random poll. It will only last for a couple of months. After it closes, feel free to continue replying here about your (solved) fan problems.

Kind of a tie between pullchain and reverse switch. I've gone through a few SMCs as well as others with the bad reverse switches, and lots of pullchain problems, even a couple of my NIB finds have needed work regarding the pullchain.

My problems are usually wiring related; my Crest didn't work until I figured out the wiring.  |

My most common problem is not even in the choices. For me it either bad bearings or motors that hums.
Other than that it would be broken pull chains.

Well yeah, I assumed that would be most people's problems, but these choices are all ones that keep the fan from working. Bad bearings and a hum are just annoying.  |
