Ceiling fan light not workingSan Jose, California

When a ceiling fan's light kit stops working while the fan motor still spins, the issue is usually in the pull chain switch, the light kit wiring, or the wall switch/remote receiver. If replacing the bulb doesn't fix it, an electrician can diagnose whether the switch, socket, or wiring has failed.
