    Fan remote not working right
    I bought a Harbor Breeze universal remote (RCE 103LW). It has 3 fan speed controls and a dimmer for light.

    I wired according to instructions. The fan control works however the dimmer switch doesn't work. Weird part is the light now actually dims with the fan control (so when I switch fan to highest speed the light also becomes bright and when I set it to lower speed the light also dims).

    Would this be an issue with original wiring on the fan (I didn't do it) or did I do something incorrect.

    The two wires from receiver to ceiling are wired as white - white and black - red ceiling (I don't have a black in the ceiling, there is a white and red).

    The 3 wires from receiver to fan are wired as white - white , black - black and blue - blue.

    Thanks

    You wired it incorrectly. The fan should have two separate power wires into it-one for the fan and the other one for the lights-all the way back to two separate wall switches.
