    Hampton Bay ceiling fan slows down
    I have 9 Hampton Bay ceiling fans in my house . They are all remote control. 6 of them have slowed down. When they are on high, they work at the same speed as the others are working on slow or med. Some of these are on the same remote. When I put them on high, one goes very slow and the other one works at normal speed. I have tried to find a website for Hampton Bay, but had no luck. What do you think is the problem? Thanks.

    Trying to control multiple fans with a single controller sounds problematic. If one of the fans gets out-of-sync (runs HIGH while other(s) run SLOW), then they will continue to cycle but out of sync and always stay out-of-sync (unless some glitch happens as what caused the original problem). If you can shut off fans individually, you should be able to re-sync the fans if you must run them from a single controller (shut off all but one fan -- put it on HIGH; do this for each fan individually).
