This CODEP Fan is made in Hong Kong and has been in our home since we moved here in 2000. I have no idea when it was installed in the home but the house itself was built in 1968. It has a light kit which still works but the fan itself doesn't.  It's a very unusual fan so I would like to repair it instead of getting rid of it. I'm in Houston and any suggestions are greatly appreciated. |

Can you give details of the problem? Codeps can be notorious for failure, but are repairable at times.
Your fan was installed sometime in the 80s.

Made inb Hong Kong, not Houston. Still awesome fans.
Probably either bad bearings (repairable but not easy) or bad capacitor (easier). We need more info.

Could also be a faulty reverse switch. My Codep Stratoflyte had that issue.

Well, c'mon...how exactly is your fan being malfunctional? We can't help you unless you describe the problem.

  Hello Everyone! I'm the same member MEMAIN that posted about the CODEP Model 100 Fan. The light kit works but we figured out you can only put in 3 bulbs at a time because if you put in all five, it blows the bulbs out within a short time whenever you turn it on. The fan itself was working on only two speeds - fast and slow. It used to do more speeds when we first moved into the house in 2000 but eventually it would only do two. It does not have a reverse. When we try to turn it on, nothing happens. As you will see from the pictures, it has actual wood blades with brass. Also, our house flooded in July 2012 and we had 23 air movers and 3 dehumidifiers in the house for 3 days. I'm wondering if all the heat from that equipment might have done the fan in. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

My Codep 100 only has 2 speeds.
I dont see any pictures.
Most lights can take 60 watt bulbs, and no higher.

My husband gave me more detail...the fan was on, he pulled the chain to raise the speed from low to high, it made a sputtering noise and then it stopped working completely.
