I can't get my remote to work for my Hampton Bay Ceiling fan. Is there a website I can go to to get the user manual for it? The grandkids were playing with it and now it won't work.:confused:

I'm assuming you've checked the batteries are in properly.

I can only assume the frequency has been changed. There are some little switches inside. (they are called dip switches). These are used to set the frequency of the signal used to "talk" to the fan. Somewhere in the fan, there are similar switches. But, if you don't want to remove the cover plates from the fan, you can take a few minutes to try all the combinations of the switches...

First, look at the switches, and write down how they are set before you start, in the event there is something else wrong, you can set them back to what they were before you started "fiddling" with them.

I don't know how many switches you have, but here's the possible combinations for 3 and 4 switches: (1 is on, 0 is off -or- 1 is "up" and 0 is "down").

3 switches:
000
001
010
011
100
101
110
111

4 switches:
0000
0001
0010
0011
0100
0101
0110
0111
1000
1001
1010
1011
1100
1101
1110
1111

Thank you so much for the above grid. I purchased 2 Hampton Bay fans which are identical. Had both units up and THEN figured out they had to be "coded". This is nuts and both me and a Mr. Fix-It friend have worked HOURS trying to get the remotes to "talk" to the fans. The lights work great (dimmer and all) but the fan itself doesn't respond to the remote. I will try all the above codes before I give up and get a less complicated model.
Thank you, again!
