So, in a previous post, I discussed the fact that my ceiling fan and 1 or 2 outlets in room room stopped working. I rearranged my room today and plugged a lamp into an outlet that I couldnt access previously (and it's original to the house 1979), and when I plugged it into the top, it woukdnt stay in, so I plugged it into the bottom to see if it was loose there also. The light came on and then I heard a whirring sound and my ceiling fan was spinning. Unplugged lamp, fan went off, plugged back in. Fan turned off.
Needless to say, there is nothing plugged into that outlet currently. Obviously the outlet needs replaced. What am I missing if anything, in regards to the fan? Is it just a loose wire/bad plug causing an issue in the line?
