DEW attack in Canneto di Caronia?

Edited to add that, regarding problems with electric appliances, we had that problem on the building I live in a few years ago, the most noticeable were the LED lamps getting fried after just a few months.
I decided to connect an oscilloscope to one socket during a time the lights were flicking and I could see that there was some kind of interference, as if it was another erratic voltage added to the normal 230V AC.
The problem was found to be a bad connection in one of the cables connecting the general electric grid to our building, a new connection solved the problem.

This does not mean your problem has the same cause, it just means that sometimes things are simpler than we think.

PS: if you could get an oscilloscope it would be great.

Thanks, Excellent response:

The ceiling fan is a Minka Aire with RF remote frequency. Its two years old. I installed it. I also have several test devices but NO Oscilloscope. No Ceiling Fan  issues for almost two years then this happened around three months ago: 

I first noticed that I could not shut off my Samsung A51 5G Smart Phone screen and put it into sleep. Nor would it go into sleep on it own. That same evening we went to watch TV in the family room so I used the remote to turn the fan on. The fan would not rotate but the fan light turned on I could not turn the light off with the remote nor dim it. I ended up shutting the fan light off by the wall light switch. 

The ceiling fan is installed in the same room that we have had two Stereo Receivers zapped and be not operational. It also took out [zapped] a Sherwood CD player and a Niles Whole Home Stereo Power Amp that powered all. All were on dual surge protection. I have replaced both Receivers and the Niles. So far so good at 1+ year of use. 

Just as I was about to call Minka Aire Tech Support after three days the fan began working properly and so do my phone. All by itself! I never contacted Tech Support. 

AUGUST 2024: 

OK, so on August 16, 2024 as in this past Saturday my A51 Smart Phone screen would not go into sleep so I could not shut it off, however the ceiling fan was functional and OK.

On Sunday, August 19, 2024 the Samsung A51 5G was back to normal and fully charged! 

ELECTRICAL POWER COMPANY

We have an in ground transformer 60' front the home near the street as all electrical lines are subsurface. Last year in August 2023 they sawed down a huge tree that was lifting  the transformer on an angle out of the ground. They al put in a new electrical line from another transformer as the original from 1994 was cut too short and put stress on the transformer connections according to their supervisor who I spoke with. 

We used to get 100's of milli-second power outages during a year.  Just enough to knock your Desktop off line but not enough to reset all clocks that dont have a 
battery backup. 

To date in 2024 just a handful of milli-second power outages

Have you ever seen "Ball Lightening". I have several Ring videos over the course of a week that show something coming up from the ground in January-February 2023 near our garage in the bushes near the property line. The Moon? It could be but but it wasn't on consecutive clear nights and the timing many hours off based on Moonrise for Columbia, South Carolina USA. Plus, it did not happen this year in 2024 as per the Moonrise tables. I need to get that video online!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
