Hi,

I just moved into this new place which already has an Hampton Bay fan -- Model: AC-527 "NN" installed. There is a switch to turn it on. But it works erratically where sometimes only the light turns on, sometimes the light and fan, sometimes just the fan and sometimes neither. It works very unpredictably. I do not have any remote for the fan.

Any suggestion/thoughts/leads on resolving this issue would help.

Thanks,
A

Does the fan have pullchains?

Nope... no pull chains either...

It's a remote fan, and it needs the remote to operate. You will also need to change the frequency of the receiver, as something is interfering.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I went to the store and bought an universal remote. To install it, I started by removing the light bulbs glass, then the foam underneath. Essentially, I removed all the screws I could other than those for blades but don't know what to do next. Can you please advise.

Thanks,
A

Do you know where the receiver is in the fan? You might not even need to do all that.

I was able to figure it out... got a new receiver and remote... and fixed it up last night... 3 hours for it all... of course, credit to my neighbour electrical engineer... he did most of the thinking... thank you very much fr pointing me in the rite direction...

I have the same fan in a condo that I just moved into and it too has no remote, where is the receiver located on the fan, I removed the ceiling collar and it is not there?

Does your fan have pullchains?

No it doesn't.

If it's not in the ceiling it's either inside the motor housing, or inside the switch housing (where the light would go).

Is there a fuse in the fan of the
AC-527'NN'
