Hi

I recently purchased a previously owned home. There are two Harbor Breeze ceiling fans in each of two spare bedrooms. I cannot find the model number nor do I have the name of the unit.

It has a light kit and a remote control.

Presently the blades are turning in a "winter mode" which is clockwise. I would like to reverse the blades to turn in a counter clockwise direction which is the "summer mode".

I have looked extensively on the internet with know luck. I've checked with Leow's and several ceiling fan dealers and no one can help.

I've looked closely at the fans and do not see any "direction" switch and there are no pull cords.

I'm pretty sure this model is reversible but don't know for sure.

I realize this is a long shot but what the heck.

Thank you

Gregg

There should be a black slide switch (it moves up/down) that changes the fan's direction.

Go to Lowe's or Home Depot and have a sales person show you where it is located.

USUALLY the switch is either on the remote or somewhere (often hidden) on the fan body. Look inside and above the light, and on top of the motor.

It's also possible the remotes were replaced with removes with no reverse buttons.
