Hunter Ceiling Fan/Light w/remote installation

Asked Jan 4, 2008, 01:49 AM — 11 Answers
Hello,

I am have a hunter ceiling fan and I am having trouble installing this correctly. From the ceiling of the wall I have 4 wires (Red/ Black/ White/ and bare Copper). From the fan there is are only 3 (Black/ White / Green). Please assist me with installing this fan. I have tripped the fuse on the circuit breaker 3 times and I am feeling a little beaten by the fan. Thanks for your help in advance.

I have the fan connect as you have stated. I capped off the red wire which was not used. I have attached a picture of a wall switch I has also purchased. Can you assit me with instaling this as well? Remember I did not connect the red wire from the ceiling into the fan, but the wall swith has all the wires connected to it. There is a change of the white wire into a black wire into the switch where they just added some wire, but I can clearly see where it is. Thank you For ryou help in advance

You can't use that wall switch and the remote.

Would this not be compatible with the remote? The reason why I want this type of wall switch is because I do not have any way to control the fan other than from the remote. The current wall switch only turns on the light. So if the remote is ever broken or lost I need another way to control the fan from the switch. What would you suggest? Also the fan does not have any pull cords to operate the light or the fan, everything is from the remote.

That's the downside of remote fans. Actually, one of the many downsides.

You can buy a Hunter RF wall control and install that, provided the frequency matches the remote.

Thanks for your help. What are some other downside to the remote fans, you made the statement as there are other problems I will run into later?

I am check the home depot website for another remote now. I will also look on the hunter web page as well.

They break down. A LOT. Hunters are significantly better than other brands that start with 'H'.
