    Thanks for providing this detailed video ! I moved into a renovated house and I was having issues with the remote , I noticed that just ONE remote was making all 4 ceiling fans turn on or off , (the installers forgot to program each individual remote to its own frequency) I was hoping I didn’t have to take down the whole fan set up but I found this video and programmed all 4 fans and solved the issue in less then 10 min with just taking off the cover (4 screws )and finding the box … now my family doesn’t think there was a ghost in the house 😂@4:25

      We're glad the video helped, but... It sounds like the remote receiver was connected to a wall mounted speed control? If so, we would suggest immediately disconnecting the receiver from the wall control and wiring it to the house constant supply line as shown in the video. In general, connecting the receiver to a wall mounted speed control will damage the receiver. We do no recommend using this fan with any switches.

I think this is a quirk in our house's wiring because we wired the fan up exactly as instructed (following both your video and the instructions provided) - but although the switch is supposed to adjust speed, it actually functions as an on/off switch and doesn't allow us to adjust the speed of the fan (ie it is off in any position other than 'full speed' which is on)

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před 8 měsíci +1

      No, the black receiver wire would connect to EITHER the black or red house wire, not both. Typically, a red wire is a switch wire. Which ever house wire you don't use (red or black), just cap it off with a wire nut and electrical tape. Please note that if connected to a switch, the color temperature may change if the switch is turned off/on too rapidly (within 4 seconds).

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před 2 lety +2

      In general, remote controls fans should not be installed with wall controls that control speed - a wall speed control will damage the remote receiver. We would recommend installing as shown in the video (with no switches). The light has a memory to remember the color temperature setting and if connected to an on/off switch, the color temperature may change each time the switch is turned off/on. Technically, the fan could be installed with wall controls instead of the remote, but again, you would lose the ability to control the light's color temperature settings. Hope that info helps.

      There's not really any tricks. If the mounting bracket is not level, or the ceiling is not perfectly level, the canopy ring won't be able to be flush against the ceiling.

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před 4 měsíci

      Are they installed on the same circuit/power wire. If they are installed in a series, the first fan may be receiving all the necessary power and while the 2nd one is not. That's one possibility. We would suggest calling Hampton Bay customer service. Their team is pretty good at troubleshooting over the phone. They will also be able to send any replacement parts if necessary.

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před 4 měsíci

      Yes, in general, the only acceptable switch option for use with a remote control fan is a single on/off toggle style switch. Using a 3-speed wall switch in conjunction with the remote receiver will eventually damage the receiver.

    What do I do with a red wire coming from the house supply? My assembly had only a black, white, and green wire. I think the red wire was for controlling just the light. Do I splice into the blue wire on harnesses?

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před rokem

      We have to say that we recommend calling a licensed electrician if you are unsure about wiring. That being said, a red wire is typically a switch wire. If that is the case, and the switch is a standard on/off toggle style switch, you can connect the receiver's power wire to the house red wire and cap off the house black wire. That would allow you to turn the fan and light on/off simultaneously using the switch. Please note that if connected to a switch, the color temperature of the light may change if the switch is turned off/on rapidly (within 4 seconds). You could also just cap off the red and connect the wires as shown in the video.

  • @liv2891

    I currently have light switches for both the light and ceiling fan... does this fan allow for that or do you have to only use the remote?

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před 3 lety +1

      We do not suggest using any switches with this fan. The only option would be to connect the remote receiver to one standard on off switch, but that will cause the light's color temperature to change each time the switch is turned off/on. We suggest wiring as directed in the video (without switches) and only using the remote.

    Do you know where the extension down rod sold separately for slopes ceilings is sold?? We bought an extension but it doesn’t help put the fan at an angle :(

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před rokem

      The downrod does not make the fan hang at an angle. The fan can be installed on a sloped ceiling with a maximum angle of 20 degrees with the parts included (+ the extension downrod). If the angle of the ceiling is greater than 20 degrees, you will need a 45 degree canopy kit like model #82735 sold at The Home Depot.

  • @michaelschottman931
    @michaelschottman931 Před rokem

    My home has 12/3 wire installed. In that case just keep the red wire capped as there’s no way to separately wire the fan vs light?

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před rokem

      Correct. The receiver can only be wired to one power supply - The house black (constant) or red (switch). You can connect the receiver to the red switch wire instead of the house black wire and then cap the black wire. That would allow you to use the switch to turn the fan and light on/off. Please note that if connected to a switch, the color temperature of the light may change if the switch is turned off/on too quickly (within 4 seconds).

  • @Farmer_26

    If I have 2 of your fans and I want to control them both with 1 remote can I do this?

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před 5 měsíci

      Technically, yes, but not recommended. If all of the dip switches are set the same in the remote and both receivers, the one remote would control both fans. This can create an issue if the fans get out of sync (ex: one fan receives the light signal and the other doesn't which would cause one light to come on and the other stays off, then when trying to turn the second light on with the remote, both fans receive the signal and now the first fan's light is off and the second turned on). we always recommend setting each remote and receiver to a unique dip switch setting to ensure proper operation.

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před 3 lety +1

      We would suggest contacting a licensed electrician if you are not sure about your wiring. Typically, a red wire is a switch wire and the instructions for the fan do not address a red wire because switches are not recommended for use with this fan. If you have 2 switches on the wall - 1 for fan and 1 for light - the black wire in the ceiling may be the other switch wire since you would need 2 wires for 2 different controls. Did you try to turn the switches on after you connected everything. If the black wire is a switch wire, the fan would not get power if the switch is turned off. Also, make sure that the dip switches in the remote and receiver match and that the reverse switch is fully in one position or the other. If the reverse switch is between settings, the fan won't operate. If those tips don't help, we would suggest calling Hampton Bay customer service.

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před 3 lety +1

      Ok, let's tackle the wiring question first. We are not licensed electricians and we have to say that should consult with one if you are not sure about the wiring. That being said, a red wire in the ceiling is typically a switch wire. If the red wire is a switch wire, we suggest capping it off and not using it with this particular fan. The light is a white color changing LED and if the receiver is wired to a switch, it could cause the light to change color temperature each time the switch is turned off/on. If the receiver was wired as directed in the video - black (or red) receiver wire to black house wire, white receiver wire to White House wire, and green fan wires to bare copper house wire (ground) - we’d suggest checking that the wire connections did not disconnect or get loose during the installation (happens sometimes). Also, make sure that the reverse switch is fully in one position or the other. If the reverse switch is between settings, the fan won’t work. Also double check the connection plugs between the fan and the receiver. Last would be to make sure that the dip switch settings in the battery compartment of the remote match the dip switch settings on the receiver. If those tips do nt resolve the issue, we’d suggest calling the Hampton Bay customer service team at 1-855-434-2678. Their team is pretty good at troubleshooting. Let us know how it works out. (sorry for the long reply).

    Hello, I had a question about installing this on a cathedral ceiling. (I have the longer down rod) The remote receiver fits into the slot between the mounting bracket and the top of the down rod if the down rod is straight up and down. But on a sloped ceiling where the mounting bracket is tilted and the down rod is plumb, the remote receiver won't fit in that space. Is there something I'm missing?

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před 2 lety +2

      The fan can be installed with the receiver on a sloped ceiling with a max angle of 20 degrees. If the angle is greater than 20 degrees, you will need a 45 degree canopy kit which will allow for extra space in the canopy to accommodate the angle. Also make sure that the slot of the ball is seated on the tab in the mounting bracket. If the slot is not seated on that tab, apace will be reduced between the top of the mounting bracket and top of the ball.

    I installed this yesterday. Fan works great but last night the light randomly came on out of nowhere and it did it again tonight. Also, on the receiver, there was no red wire, it was only green, black and white. On the house side, I have bare copper, white, black and red. I wired the two greens to bare copper and white to white then black from receiver to black house wire with the red since the red is also power.

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před 4 hodinami

      The red and black house wires should never be connected together. They are both power wires and that could damage your electrical system. If you are not sure about wiring, we suggest calling an electrician to ensure the wiring is connected correctly. The receiver has either a black or red wire (manual states black or red wire - they are both power wires) that wire connects to one power wire from the house (either red or black). a red wire is typically a switch wire and the house black wire is typically a constant power wire or second switch wire. For the random operation of the light (turning on out of nowhere), this is probably an interfeernce issue with the remote. This can be easily fixed by changing the dip switch settings in the remote and receiver - see the 4:18 mark.

      @ceilingfans101 you say the red wire is typically a switch wire, well I do have a double wall switch and it used to turn on the old fan light and the other switch was to turn on the fan itself. Now, I can't turn on the fan light with the wall switch. I'm curious as to why that happened.

      @@kjrwhs2003 It sounds like the previous fan may have been a pull chain fan? If so, it would have two separate wires for power (one for fan speed power and one for light power). In that case, each of those wires could be connected to separate switches to allow for independent fan and light control via the switches. With this fan, it includes a remote receiver and that receiver only has one power wire to connect to the house, so you are not able to use separate switches while still retaining complete control via the remote.

      We're not licensed electricians, but for this fan, we'd recommend just connecting as the wiring instructions in the video. If you have extra wires, we would suggest just capping them off and not using them. Typically, a red wire in the ceiling is a switch wire. For this particular fan, we do not recommend using any switches because it could cause the light color temperature to change each time the switch is turned off and on again. If you have wiring concerns, we would suggest contacting a licensed electrician.

    Hello! I have two of these Mena 54" fans in white. Both rated @ 6247 Airflow CFM. On high neither fan comes even close to this type of airflow. I can follow the end of the blades with my eyes. I called Hampton Bay and they insisted that the fan receivers were both defective. They sent me two new ones which I installed. Absolutely no difference. I'm stumped! 🤔Any suggestions on what to do next??? Thanks so much in advance!

    • @ceilingfans101
      @ceilingfans101  Před 6 měsíci +1

      The fans are all tested by 3rd party testing facilities to confirm the fan's performance. There is a difference between CFM and air velocity. The 6247 CFM is total air movement in the room under optimal conditions. Velocity is the breeze felt. There are a few factors that could impact performance such as room size and proximity to the ceiling. In stalling this fan in a room smaller than 12ft x 12ft would negatively impact the fan's performance. On high speed the blades should rotate at a rate of about 125 RPM.

    • @billyc3757

They are sending me two capacitors now and I will try that. I have six additional ceiling fans throughout my home in various rooms that push a lot of air.

      Technically, yes, but it would require altering the wiring which could void the warrranty. We wouldn't recommend using 2 different switches with this fan because of the color temperature changing light kit. The remote is the only reliable way to control the color temperature of the light and if installed to 2 switches, you would need to bypass the remote receiver which would render the remote useless. The receiver can be wired to one switch that would let you turn the fan and light on/off simultaneously. Just be aware that if doing that, the color temperature of the light may change if the switch is turned off/on too quickly (within 4 seconds).

      Technically, yes, but it would require altering the wiring. We do NOT recommend doing this because of the color temperature changing light kit. To connect to 2 different switches, you would need to cut the fan's blue wire (light power) from the receiver plug. Then you could wire the receiver to one switch and the blue fan wire to the other switch. If you connect the light to a switch, you will lose the light control from the remote. The remote is the only way to consistently change the color temperature of the light. If connected to a switch, the light will change color temperature if turned off/on rapidly (within 4 seconds).

      Most wobble issues can be traced to a few issues. 1. Incorrectly installed blades - make sure the blades are completely pushed in and locked in place. Try pullingthe blades out once they are set to make sure they are in correctly. 2. A loose outlet box - make sure there is no movement in the outlet box attached to the ceiling. 3. A loose set screw on the motor collar - make sure the set screw is completely tightened. 4. An incorrectly seated ball of the downrod. - Make sure the ball of the downrod is seated so that the slot of the ball is resting on top of the tab on the inner ring of the mounting bracket.

      Here are some tips. Make sure that the side of the blade marked "this side up" is facing the ceiling. There will be a bit of resistance when inserting the blades as they have to pass 2 parts in the clip to lock in place. Don't be afraid to really push them in. You may need to squeeze the locking tabs to allow for easier insertion, but shouldn't have to. Once the blades are installed, make sure to try to pull them out to make sure they are locked in. Hope that helps!
