I just bought a house and 1 fan is in reverse. I can't find a switch on the fan and there's no reverse on the remote. This is a Hampton Bay fan. The remote says it's model: UC7083T. I also thought there must be a trick with the remote.

Can the pitch of the blades be changed mechanically?

That is only true with Hunter fans from the 1980s and earlier.

The reverse button is somewhere on the fan, perhaps hidden in the fixture.

Reverse is a chain that dangles into the glass bowl by the bulbs. Can't be seen from the ground but it is not hidden.

Very unlikely, that's only on a select few model fans.

I have a Hampton Remote and not a new one. When I want to reverse I turn off the fan with the remote and right before the fan stops fully, push medium speed button twice and that will reverse it.
