Ceiling fan pull chain is hard to pull when trying to adjust speed.
can I spray WD-40 on the chain? Thanks, Terri
This may help, even thought this person had problems getting the light to turn on!

Ceiling fan pull chain for light is stuck and won't pull.
Can you unscrew the bulb ? Then you can have air .use another outlet in bedroom for light . I had to buy a 5 watt bulb for my ceiling fan on screen porch . Then I just unscrew the bulb .if I want light I screw in back in .
I had the same issue with my bedroom fan. If your fan isn’t too old you may be able to get replacement parts from the manufacturer.
Call in an electrician to try to fix it (replace the pull switch works)
Replacement switches are readily available, and they are pretty much universal. They are cheap to buy and easy to install.
Cut off the electricity to the fan. Then use a magnet and tweezers to work enough of the chain out. Have a noose of strong thread ready to capture even one bit of chain. Use a chain extender to connect the broken chain to a new chain. Extend the other chains, too. Turn the electricity back on. ☺️
The chain isn't stuck The switch is busted. Needs to be replaced. Homecenter or hardware store for replacement.
