Remote ceiling fan troubleshooting
We have two identical Harbor Breeze fans with separate remotes that have been working well for past 2 years. One fan has stopped responding to remote. Remote for non functioning fan will operate second fan if dip switch setting is adjusted. Is there any other resolution than replacing transmitter? Can transmitter be purchased as sole unit?
Thanks! |

Excellent work swapping the remotes. This rules that out as a problem. Did you also try the good fan's remote on the bad fan? Or replacing the battery in the remote (never hurts)?
If none of these suggestions pans out, then it sounds like the bad fan is either not getting power, or the receiver (in the fan) has gone bad. I'd try to verify that power is getting to the fan (i.e. breaker not tripped, wires secure, etc.) Oh, is there a wall switch for the bad fan? If it was turned off, that would be an easy fix! Good Luck, WallyH |

Contact the manufacturer for a replacement remote. If they cannot help you or if they are prohibitively expensive, purchase a universal remote.

Before I break the darn thing, can you tell me if the back panel comes off or if I have to unscrew the top and bottom screws?
Ok, so here's a summary: I installed a Harbor Breeze Airspan 69" fan, it was mostly pretty simple, but it was the first ceiling fan I've installed that was remote only (no switches). So upon completion the motors for each fan worked, even all the different speeds, but the light did not come...
I just connected a Hampton Bay ceiling fan. The lights work but fan doesn't. I will check wiring in switch box. Could the switch be bad or connection bad. What order should I check?
Hi. I have a HB remote fan. I have replaced the receiver twice already because upon installing the receiver and turning on the light/fan w the remote there has been a loud POP and the receiver smells burnt and is toast. I have appropriate voltage coming in-so can anyone help?
