In this video I show how to repair a household ceiling fan pull chain and a ceiling fan light pull chain
It is not very difficult and only costs about $5
There is no need to buy a new fan or pay loads of money to have your fan fixed, It is pretty simple to fix it yourself, so give it a try.
Make sure that you get a pull chain switch with wiring that matches your fan. mine didn't and I was able to make it work, you might not, so get the correct switch.

I got 4 Monte Carlo Mini from coffee shop, three last week, and one last May. One of them had a wrong fan chain and a broken light chain, I replaced both with correct chains. The wrong chain was 3-way fan light switch which is 3-wire, the right chain was 4-wire and I followed the wires on other chain to connect wires to right chain. The right chain isn't the same brand as original chain but I made sure it has same exact wiring sequence. The wrong chain wiring sequence was L-1, L-2, L-1-2, and the right chain sequence is L-1, L-2-3, L-3. The L on wrong chain was connected to wire that would go to L, the 1 on wrong chain was connected to wire that would go to 2, the 2 on wrong chain was connected to wire that would go to 3. Therefore, the sequence on wrong chain was slower than low, low, and medium with lack of high speed.

Also I see you put the old chain switch back in when putting the fan back together.

With 3 way fan light switch on fans that's supposed to have 4 wire pull chain, it would either have more than one high speed, or no high speed at all, or maybe have 3 factory speeds working but would buzz on off position, depending on the fan. Some fans, like NuTone, DO have 3-way fan light switch.

Do i have to turn the breaker off or just the switch on the wall for it?

By power turned off do you mean just turning off the light or shutting the power down at the breaker?

What is a breaker and where do I find it? I have to do this by myself and I don't want to get electrocuted. :-(

I replaced the fan pull chain on my fan. Super easy. But now the fan will not turn off at the chain. Basically my 3 speed fan got turned into a 4 speed. How can I fix that?
