- Restart the computer and access the BIOS menu.
- Clean your laptop regularly to prevent dust and debris buildup.
- Disable the fan status using the “+” and “-” keys until it reads “Disabled”.
- Check the cleanliness of air ducts and internal cooling system to eliminate blockages. If the issue persists, consider using a cooling system.
- Disable individual fans in your system through the system setup menu (system BIOS) or by physically removing the power leads for the chosen fans.
- Sometimes, just want to turn off constantly running fans.
- Check your PC’s temperature before proceeding with turning off the fan.
- Install and open the utility and look for fan speed control. For example, opening Settings in MSI Afterburner’s menu and selecting the Fan tab will display fan control options.
This guide is straightforward and does not involve much hassle. However, it is important to note that you can never completely turn off a laptop fan. The US government requires “some (xxx cfm)” air moving through the cabin at all times.
If the battery in the remote control doesn’t work, you can use the wall switch or pull the fan. If you have a case with buttons controlling RGB, the M mode usually turns it off if held down for a few seconds.
If you have a basic climate control system, there may be no way to fully turn off the interior fan. To disable the fan entirely, remove the jumper and connect the switched live to only the lamp.
If you are trying to find a good replacement for a bathroom ceiling unit that is a combination light, exhaust fan, and heater, disconnect the negative terminal from the car battery located in the spare wheel well for a hard reset.

📹 Correct Ceiling Fan Rotation Direction | Cool in Summer and Warm in Winter
Most home owners have seen this switch on the side of their ceiling fan but don’t change the position with the seasonal changes.
THANK YOU!! MY AC went out yesterday & it is like the east side of hell in here! I did have the fan going the wrong direction because I couldn’t tell which was clock/counterclockwise while it was moving. Saying you should feel the air is the best way to describe it. I’m hoping it helps a little till the repairman gets here. (It’s 92 outside & 90 inside right now) 🥵🥵🥵
He didn’t explicitly specify or have a zoom-in shot, but it seems all fans (at least in the US) are universal in that the up position is for winter and the down position is for summer. Hope that helps. Don’t forget to clean the dust off of your fans while you’re at it so you’re not blowing around allergens! Cheers.
Sometimes downdraft can be more useful than updraft even in winter, if low speed is slow enough or if the ceiling is high enough. In fact, Emerson “Heat Fan” was introduced when they got an idea how fans can be used to push heat down, and all “Heat Fan” are downdraft only and there were some reversible fans before then, so people got an idea of using fans to push heat down even before starting to use updraft to push heat down.
I think it depend on where the air registers (vents) are located. In our mobile the vents are in the floor whereas in most homes they’re in or near the ceiling. To me it seem like pulling the cool a/c air up from the floor registers would make more sense in our case. The opposite if the registers are high up.
It depends on where your ac air is coming from even though cold air drops and heat rises. But heat fills a room over time. If your ac is floor ducts you want it to pull up. To raise cold off the floor and up. If it’s up high on your wall or window then push down. But only while running. If it’s off and your room is hot you want to pull-up to raise the heat up and out in summer. Winter is again the same but opposite.
I did not know this! Thank you! I also live in a home built in the 1950’s. I have multiple random light switches that do nothing in the kitchen, however, am not able to find one to turn on the lights and fan. I have to manually pull down the strings to turn on or off the fan or light. Are there any way to figure out if there are a light switch that is just… dead?
I find having my fan in updraft mode during summer nights with a higher fan speed cools my room better then downdraft. I’ll feel colder in downdraft mode just because of the wind but personally I am not a fan of wind so the updraft reduces that and has more of a calm breeze and also helps pull air into my room from my cracked window leading to cooler Temps at night. Downdraft during the day tho
For clarity: Fans do NOT change temperature. They just circulate air, which pushes your bodies heat away from itself, making you colder. Skin tempersture is 91 degrees F. Have air against it, and it helps pull that 91 degrees off your body. Has nothing to do with changing temperature like an Air Conditioner, Refrigerator, etc would.
So my house, open concept, staircase in centre of my home coming from my nice cool basement that leads up to main floor thats 2nd, then to the 3rd floor which has a loft on either side above that, both 3rd and lofts hot as hell. My ceiling fan is at the height of the lofts smack dab in the centre of the house. If i were to take your advice, and pretty much every other source i read, counterclockwise is what id want in the summer months. Im sorry to me this makes no sense whatsoever. Heat rises. Why would I want to be pushing the hot air from my upper levels down to the rest of the house? Would it not make more sense to have it go clockwise and pull the cool air from the basement up to the rest of the house??
Sure. Hot air rises to the the ceiling in the summer. It makes all the sence in the world to want to push that hot air down on you to stay cool. I guess a hot wind blowing down on you is better than no wind at all, right? Circulating hot air from the ceiling throughout the room, mixing with the cool air at the bottom of the room makes the room feel cooler? I’m glad I found this article, Now I’m going to install a fan in the attic to blow down in my house so I can take advantage of all the cool air up there. I may just turn off my AC altogether. Who are you again?
You have this backwards… summer is counterclockwise which is blades spinning left, winter, blades spinning to the right. Both can make someone think it’s a difference just due to the nature of air moving. The real idea here is to displace cool air or hot air on one direction or the other. Not just blow air onto someone to “create” the idea of cooling. It’s all about displacing air.
So, I have a two story house…. In the living room it’s open to the second floor so the fan Is on the ceiling of the second story….. still it stays a bit cooler downstairs than it does upstairs. Would it still be beneficial to blow that air down? Or would that just make it blow all the hot air to the lower level? I hope that makes sense. We don’t have AC and I’m dying lol
Always blow down from ceiling to floor, summer and winter. Seems counter intuitive, but it’s true. Blowing up direction in winter circulates the air, but only in the upper zone (roughly head height or above). The warm air doesn’t really mix in the room if it’s blown against the ceiling. If downflow in winter is uncomfortable, turn off the fan entirely, but most people won’t mind it. Or wear long sleeves in winter.
