    Hunter doesn't reverse?
    According to Google, you all are the experts on ceiling fans.

    I just moved into a bedroom where the ceiling fan always runs backwards (draws air towards the ceiling). There is absolutely no switch to change it (not even inside the globe with the bulb), and it didn't come with a remote. So the question is:

    Do some Hunter ceiling fans not have reverse switches?

    I'd say this one was bought somewhere between 2000-2003. I know it didn't have a remote, else we would have at least played with it before it was lost. I'm thinking the polarity on the wiring is backwards? We installed it so long ago, can't remember if we just got it up there and were satisfied with reverse mode (this was a game room at the time).

    Thanks in advance!

    How are the speeds controlled on the fan? How about the light?

    Try spinning the blades in the direction you want them to go while turning the power on and off.

    Oh hey, there are 3 pull chains. One does the fan direction! Eureka!

    Thanks for the help. So often asking for help and trying to explain things to someone else will get me to see the answer.
