    Wireless Control for ceiling Fan
    Yesterday morning we experienced a brown out due to the electrical company working on transformers.

    My 2 Hampton Bay remote control ceiling fans do not work now.

    Both remotes have new batteries.

    Can some one tell me what else I need to check?

    Sometimes a power outage can fry the receivers to remote fans, they may need to be replaced.

    And the receivers cost as much as a new ceiling fan, can you bypass the receiver?

    Not unless the fans have pullchains. Receivers should cost $30 a piece. You can try exchanging the fans they should still be under warranty.
