If your ceiling fan pull chain is broken because it was pulled out of the switch, there's an easy way to fix it. Open up the switch in the ceiling fan and remove the broken piece of chain before replacing it with a longer one.
Why would a ceiling fan chain need fixing? If it breaks you can use a little splicing device to fix the break.
You can buy those little splicing devices at hardware stores and home centers. You can also buy more chain.
Instructions
Repair an External Ceiling Fan Chain Break
If the remaining ceiling fan chain on the ceiling fan extends at least 1/2-inch out of the fan housing, you only need to add a ceiling fan chain extension. As long as you have enough existing chain to work with, this is the best approach.
Attach the extension to the end of the remaining ceiling fan chain, pushing firmly to snap the end of the chain into the connector.
When no ceiling fan chain is visible, this likely means that the pull within the ceiling fan has broken near or inside the ceiling fan pull switch. In that case, proceed to the next step.
Remove the Metal Collar
Unscrew the metal collar through which the ceiling fan chain should extend. First try screwing off the collar with your fingers, turning counterclockwise. If this does not work, use pliers and a soft rag wrapped around the metal collar to protect the collar and the fan housing from damage.
Open the Ceiling Fan Base
Remove any light bulbs from the ceiling fan. With a manual screwdriver, turn out the screws holding the removable lower section from the ceiling fan motor base. Set the screws aside. Gently pull off the removable section. Leave it attached by its wires to the ceiling fan base.
Pull Out the Pull Chain Switch
Locate the ceiling fan chain switch. It should be a small plastic unit, often with a transparent side. You may even be able to see the broken pull within the switch unit. Carefully pull this down. It will be attached to the fan with two wires.
WARNING
Do not attempt to fix the pull chain switch. Instead, it is easier and safer to discard the old switch and replace it with a new switch. Ceiling fan pull switch kits are inexpensive and readily available online.
Cut the Wires to the Ceiling Fan Chain Switch
With the wire stripper, use the cutting section to snip off the two wires that attach the ceiling fan chain switch to the ceiling fan base. Leave at least 2 inches of wire attached to the ceiling fan base to make it easier to reattach the new pull chain switch.
Attach the New Pull Switch to the Ceiling Fan
After stripping the plastic from the wires to expose the copper wire, attach the two wires of the new ceiling fan chain pull switch to the fan's wires. Twist together the wires. Top off each connection with a plastic wire nut.
Thread the Pull Chain Through the Hole
Gently press the pull chain switch back into the ceiling fan base. Thread the pull chain through the hole in the housing.
Reassemble and Test the Ceiling Fan
Tighten the metal collar by hand. Reattach the lower section of the ceiling fan. Add any light bulbs. Turn the power back on at the circuit breaker and any wall switches. Test the fan by carefully pulling on the ceiling fan pull.
