All of a sudden last week the remote stopped working on my Hampton Bay fan..
(model: #55295, 54 inch Brushed Steel w/Remote)
Things I have done:
1) Replaced the batteries in the remote
2) Ensured the dip switches match on the remote and the fan
3) Ensured there is power going to the fan
Things I know:
1) The wall switch still turns the light on and off, however the remote will no longer turn the light off, nor does the fan work via remote (note: it never worked off the wall switch unless I left it on via remote, the wall switch is strictly on/off)
Fan is obviously receiving power. Indicator lights on remote still work, and act as if I am turning the light and fan on/off, but nothing happens with the fan. This model of fan does NOT have pull chains. Remote has an led screen on it displaying light on/off, temperatures, fan speed, etc.
Should I assume something is wrong inside the fan, receiver burnt out, or something? Is there a way to test the remote or fan portions?
Fan is 3 years old, so not sure if still under warranty, but wanted to check with all of you to get ideas before I go to Home Depot and have them try selling me things. Thank you in advance!
