I got a 52 inch Aloha Breeze Ceiling fan it was the last one like it in Walmart and the box was opened and resealed. When I opened it :confused: there was no paperwork enclosed I tried to look up the site to see if I could print it, but I could not find it. I would appreciate any suggestions Thanks.

I have an electrical backround... Green wire is ground, connects to electrical box and fan housing... White wire is neutral and connects to low side of incoming power --- white wires
In light area section tie together... This should leave two wires Black and Blue-- black is power to fan--- blue is power to light... If you put fan in place of light you probably have
A hot and neutral wire where light came from... the hot ties to the black and blue wires...
You should see a blue wire identified as light... connects to hot side of light fixture... white
Connects to neutral side...

Here are some generic instructions. If you can't get it installed with these, return it for a new one that includes instructions. Better still, Don't buy an Aloha Breeze they are garbage.

I'm a contractor who does a very large amount of remodels. I run into this very same problem almost every time a home owner decides they want to get their own fans and then open them to take a look at it before I get the chance to install it.

You had an electrician explain to you how to wire them, and he was 100% correct... no matter the brand, no matter the type, they all wire up in the box the same now. (except remote control fans)

Most fans have the same basic premis for assembly and ceiling mount. There might be some variation, but I feel you can figure it out well enough.

Now, as for assembling it all and install it... on most 52" fans, they have 5 blades, a fan body and housing, and/or a lighting fixture. The fans usually have 2-3 screws which are typically more fat and shorter then the others, with tapered heads, and they will be used to connect the fan blades to the fan anchors, which in turn will connect to the motor housing... connect all the fan blades to the anchors and set them aside for now.

Make sure the POWER is OFF and the older fan is removed before you try to start..!!!

There is a mounting plate that, most of the time, looks like 2 rings making the shape of a cone with the smaller bottom ring being open on one side, which the down-rod and mounting ball will fit into... that will need to be mounted to a fan approved electrical box up on the ceiling. I say fan approved because most homes, especially the older ones (1988 and older) did not have the correct boxes in the ceiling and they're not designed to take the extra weight of the fan, nor the vibration, so they'll eventually fail, and the fan will come down.

If you have the correct fan approved electrical ceiling box (and it will say it right on the box itself), then use the two 10-32 screws, approximately 1" to 1 1/4" long, to mount the cone shaped mounting bracket to the ceiling electrical box, small ring down.

Next, take the down-rod and mounting ball and connect them to the fan housing body, making sure that everything is tight and that the white, black, blue and green electrical wires are pulled through the rod and stick out of the top. Then cut the excess wire off about 8" above that and strip 3/4" of the insulation off the end of each wire.

Put the top valance and trim ring over the down rod and lift the fan housing and body up and hang it on the ball inside the ceiling mounting bracket and then connect the wires. Black to black, white to white, and bare copper to the green wires. (if you are going to use the light kit, connect the blue wire to the black wires also.)

Lift the valance and trim rings and fit them over the electrical box bracket and secure them in place with 2-4 small color matching screws at the top of the bracket already in place against the ceiling.

Now is when you attach the fan blades, that you set aside earlier, to the fan itself using 2 heavy, short, #12 screws. Use a #3 size Phillips screw driver so you can get them tight for each fan blade.

Turn the power back on and flip the switch to see how it works.

NOTE: If the fan wobbles at all when on high, even the slightest, take it down and return it... you'll spend hours and hours trying to balance it out, and it'll still wobble after all that. It's not worth the time or aggrivation... much more simple, and more cost effective to just return it and let them worry about fixing the balance of the blades instead of you...

I hope this helps and it's not too late... Good luck!

I agree, except you should always try some simple balancing before returning a fan.. . Most fans will be slightly out of balance when installed and that can be easily fixed in most cases.
