Recently installed ceiling fan acting up?
Question:When you turn it off, you hear a electronic pop in my stereo system and TV surround system. Both are on different circuits from the fan (and different from each other). I have 3 other fans in my house and none do this. I've replaced the switch mechanism in the fan. Oh, and it is not the wall switch, same pop happens when the fan is turned off with the pull cord. It also pops when you use the pull cord to reduce the speed. Doesn't do it when you turn it on with either the wall switch or built in switch. Just off or reduced speed with both the wall or internal switch. Happens both forward and reverse. No noise with fan running.
Fan is on a 20 amp circuit with plenty of headroom. Wire to the box is 12/2.
I'm thinking it is the fan itself but would welcome any other ideas.
Please no "call an electrician". I built and wired this house myself, 30 years ago.
Thanks.

could be a going bad start run capacitor in the fan itself
I'm with you, sounds like the fan. Is it a cheap one?
i think you have the fan lines reversed take the house white line and put it on the other line from the fan do the same with the black house line
Replace fan start capacitor.
dont work on a new fan,,take it back and try to get some labor out of the deal,,raise some hell ,,sometimes they will pay
