there is a push button type spring loaded switch that gets pushed in when the motor pulls the dome all the way down. if you can open the dome manually, then the switch opens up and turns the fan on. michael, it seems like that spring loaded switch is working if it turns on when the fan is raised manually? i would think either the motor is shot or the connection to the motor came loose. there is power there because the red light is on and the motor spins if turned out manually.

i would take the trim off of the bottom of the fan and perhaps the 3 screws holding the motor up and see if they are all connected.
