I am unable to reverse air flow on my 52" Harbor Breeze Ceiling Fan.
It was previously installed in my new home when we moved in. We found the
Remote control with wiring assembly in a cardboard box in the garage. Obviously never installed.
My problem: I can control fan speed and lights with separate switches that are
Wall mounted, just fine. The problem is there are no switches, chains or buttons
To REVERSE fan direction to divert the air flow downward.
Is there a simple way to REVERSE the fan direction on this fan?

Thanks for any help.

There should be a small black slide switch located between the fan blades and the light kit. The remote, if hooked-up properly, will not control the fan direction. The remote installs easily under the canopy; and only takes a couple of screws to get the canopy out of the way. The wires should be clearly marked, and color coded. You'll just need about 5 small wire nuts (probably still in the package). Its nice to have a remote. Good luck!
