    Hampton Bay Cameron II
    I recently purchased a Cameron II and have had a problem with the temperature that the unit heats to. The light kit itself gets extremely hot to the touch and you can smell the rubber around the globes melting. I have tried taking the fan apart, rewiring and then reassembling but it has not been effective. What else can I do? Thanks.

    As long as you aren't using larger that the max specified bulbs, I would take it back as defective. How often do you read in the paper about fires caused by electrical problems. Sounds bad to me.

    What wattage bulbs are you using? If the light is working it wouldn't be a wiring issue. It's either an issue with the materials that are overheating, the light itself not preventing enough ventilation to the bulbs, or the bulb themselves being too hot.

Hampton Bay Fan [ 4 Answers ]

I purchased a Hampton bay fan with a light and remote control. The room previously had a fan without a light. The wall switch (two switches) controlled the fan while one switch did nothing. The old fan also had a pull chain to change the blade speed. I wired the fan yesterday and nothing worked....

I recently installed hampton bay fan, I am sure it was installed correctly. However its has a remote control and the only way I can get the fan to work is if I turn on the light, no light no fan. Therefore I can not run it at night. :( :(

My new Hampton Bay Nassau fan seems to run slow on high speed compared to my other fans. Is this normal operation or should I bring it back.
