my brand new ceiling fan fell off the ceiling (don't ask) and broke right where the blade attaches to the fan. It is a metal fan blade attachment that broke. its not a normal looking piece and it sort of art deco looking. i asked someone to weld it, he told me he couldn't since it was chrome. i've looked high and low and can't find the part. the website tells me to go to home depot (apparently thier only retailer). home depot only sells standard fan blade attachments and not one like this one. anyone know what i could do besides buying another fan? it was a pretty expensive fan and was beautiful.

Home Depot is the worst when it comes to customer service! Have you tried Expo? It's an upscale store operated by Home Depot. Even if they don't have the part, they can order it for you. Ask them to do this. They have the catalogues and you can look through them yourself. Good luck!

Hampton Bay is a trademark product sold exclusively at Home Depot. Since Home Depot imports Hampton Bay products, there might not be availability on the part you seek. I am pretty sure a good welder could repair that part if Home Depot can't point you in the right direction.
