Customers living room has only 1 - 20a circuit that supplies all the receptacles and the ceiling fan/light. The trouble is when the ceiling fan is switched off the tv blinks. It is actually it is the cable box that is blinking but it shows up on the tv. (If the tv is running on antenna it doesn't blink). If I plug the cable box up to another receptacle somewhere else in the house with a drop cord there is no blinking. I have taken down the ceiling fan and it is properly wired and grounded. I am guessing the capacitors in the fan is causing something the cable box doesn't like.
Do you think some kind of surge protector would correct the issue? or does the fan need replacing. I don't have a Oscope to look at the circuit with, but I don't see any voltage spikes with my voltmeter?
Thanks
