With some ceiling fans, the manufacturer label is on the top of the motor housing. Hunter is a good example of this. If you can’t see what the label says, try using a mirror to make it out. If there’s no label, time to drop the canopy. This does not mean you need to remove the fan – just need to lower the “shroud.” What is the shroud, you ask? Well, good question. The shroud is the name for the covering, for the mechanical and electrical connections that you find at the ceiling.
