These troubleshooting steps will take you through the basic operation of the remote, like checking the batteries and determining whether the remote is sending a signal or not. The first thing is — why is the remote not working? Is the remote sending a signal?
You can see if the remote is sending a signal by checking if the red light comes on the frontof the remote, when you push in a button. Have you tried checking the dip switches? If the remote is sending a signal, but the fan is not responding to it, you may need to change the dipswitches.
Dipswitches are toggle switches on the back of the remote. You will also find a corresponding set of dipswitches on the fan. The dipswitches could be found on the base with some fans, without having to open anything. The dipswitches are used to set a frequency that the fan and the remote communicate on.
In this way, the remote usually does not need to be programmed to the ceiling fan, as the dipswitches control the connectivity between the fan and the remote.
If your fan turns on and off by itself, or the light kit does, it could be being controlled by another person nearby. Please be reminded you will have to come from the original page that described your manual with the Model name. We decided to provide this free service when we realized how many people were either lacking a manual or had lost the original when they purchased their Hampton Bay product.
You may find that your manual is not listed on our site due to our inability to locate the manual. If this is the case drop us a message or email with your model name and we will try to locate the manual. I am no expert on Hampton Bay so have had to do a lot of research to find the information you have been wanting. What has made it harder is that Hampton Bay as such is a brand without a face. Home Depot stock the brand but its produced somewhere in China. Again check on Amazon for these remote kits.
This is an app you can download, usually for free that enables you to use your mobile phone or tablet to act as a remote for your ceiling fan. Not all apps work for all ceiling fans so its best to try a few until you find one that will sync or interface with your fan.
If you have an app that you like and use for your Hampton Bay Fan then please share it with us so we can recommend it for others. In this section, we will take a look at how you can install the ceiling fan remote along with any issues you may encounter. Basically you may have followed all the instructions but still the remote may not work. You may also have set the same dip switch to both the receiver and transmitter but when you press the remote button nothing happens.
You may also have tried changing the dip switch to a different setting such as on both the transmitter and the receiver. Still the same thing, nothing happens. In these cases could the transmitter or receiver be defective? Could the battery be dead?
Before starting turn the circuit breaker off. Make sure to test all the components with a voltage detector before you touch any wiring.
Below is the Hampton bay fan remote receiver wiring diagram, this is how the fan is wired. When a button is pushed on the remote, a red LED light should light up.
This tells you that the fan remote control is sending a signal to the fan receiver. If this is happening then the battery is ok, and the ceiling fan remote is functioning in a proper way.
In this case, if the fan is new or still under warranty you can go back to The Home Depot store you bought the fan from, with the receipt and get a replacement receiver. So we checked what Universal Remotes are available and came up with a definitive list of six that we consider being the best. This remote control is good with most styles of ceiling fans, including Hampton Bay and Hunter. Its a sleek design and looks good and functions very well. The delay-off is a really helpful feature enabling you to turn off the light from the bed and the delay means that the light will wait a short while to turn off so you are able to exit the bedroom in light.
We give it 4. You can check it out here. Again we recommend this remote as it also has a dimming feature and is suitable for most ceiling fans. Wiring is easy enough. No issues or hassles there.
This is an energy saver as it will reduce the speed of the fan if the room reaches the desired temperature. However, you will pay a bit more for this feature. The cost of the remote control is reasonable, and being a Universal Remote its going to be good for the Hampton Bay models. Sometimes the fan will turn on on its own and not when at the set temperature, other than that it works well at self-regulating the speed with a nice easy display.
Another feature it does not have is the reverse blades button , which is semi-important to me during the winter months. This Wink Enabled Hampton Bay 4-speed Universal remote control comes compatible with the WINK automation system to enable you to control your ceiling fan by means of your smartphone or Tablet.
The process of pairing requires the power to be turned off from the ceiling fan. I had the unfortunate lesson in this after installing the remote and calling the customer help number and spending an hour on the telephone. I had to go through a process of connecting a temporary switch between the ceiling fan and power line in so that I could pair with wink.
After cutting a slot in the canopy and then mounting the antenna outside as far as I could, it now holds a nice steady connection and is online. We give it a total of 3.
