I have installed many fans in the last 10yrs of rehabbing homes an this is hands down the easiest fan to put together an install . Its a well designed fan . Why cant they build them all this way
The quik connect wires are great an the big surprise was the magnetic light , love it
Just bought this ceiling fan and have never installed one before, I would have not been able to install it without this video. Thank you for this.
You're welcome!
Same
Another one bites the dust. Hours of frustration saving video!
Thank you so much. I can't express how helpful this was. It's always better for me to watch someone and then repeat it. Great instructor and well done video. Thanks a ton!
You're welcome! We're glad to hear the video helped.
I bought the Celene and thankfully this video showed me how to insert the huge remote receiver, which was the only part that was giving me trouble.
It was a tight fit, but all good now as I relax under the gentle breeze!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you so MUCH for this step by step guide! I had never installed a ceiling fan in my life and this tutorial got me through it successfully. Thank you so much!
That is awesome to hear! Congrats!
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
Probably the best “how to” video I’ve ever seen. Super helpful, thanks!!
thanks for watching!
Excellent job and contribution. Thanks a lot !
This video was perfect. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!
You're welcome! thanks for watching
Awesome installation instructions
Thank you! Very helpful, did exactly as advised...BAAAMM, have a great looking fan.. Thank you
Awesome video, helped us figure out where we were going wrong! Capped off the red wire, turned the wall fan switch to the first notch and now we have a nice new fan
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.
@@ceilingfans101 Hm. 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)
great video! helped us install our hampton bay fan :D
I have a red, black, white and copper ground coming out. Obviously copper to to ground and white to white but my receiver wire is black not red and even my antenna is yellow not black like yours. So the black receiver wire go to both the black and red coming out of my house? Please advise thank you so much
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 thank you! I switched them and capped the red. Works great
Good job! @@vr6trooper
This was really one of the best how to videos I’ve seen, good job

Very helpful, Thankyou
you're welcome!
Awesome video
thanks!
i have the exact same ceiling fan shown in my room!
Thanks for this video. I bought this fan, still new in box. It has the remote, but can a wall switch also control the fan ?
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.
The Mena series is one of my favorite line of fans
ours too! such a sleek look!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!! Was exactly what I NEEDED to get the job done!! God bless brother!!!
that's great to hear! You're welcome!
Your video allowed me to hang 5 fans in 3 hours. Thank you very much!
That's awesome!
This was such a big help….
That's great to hear!
Thank you
This video was everything, very great job. Thank you!!
I couldn’t seem to get the fan collar all the way flush to the ceiling even though I believe I tightened the mounting bracket fully - is there a trick to getting it nice and flush?
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.
I installed 2 for my backyard. One is fine but the other is extremely slow on max setting. Amy suggestions?
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.
My living room fan is also controlled with a 3 speed wall switch. Will that tamper with the remote control
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.
Thanks for the video I installed mine today went to Home Depot and picked it up thank u took me an hour love the fan it’s great I didn’t think I could do it was very helpfull thanks alot
you're welcome!
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?
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.
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?
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 :(
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.
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?
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).
If I have 2 of your fans and I want to control them both with 1 remote can I do this?
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.
we just had it installed in my den and i love it, but my question is if the light goes out how do you change it?
if the light ever goes out, you just need to call Hampton Bay customer service to order a replacement.
@@ceilingfans101 OK THANKS!
I have a Red wire hanging from the ceiling along with 1 Constant Black Hot wire and a White wire (and ground). 2 switches on the wall for the light and fan. Instructions say to attach the red to the Blue Wire, but the Blue wire is occupied on both ends in this fan. What do I do with the Red wire? Black with Black, White with White, and Green with Green and capping off the Red wire didn’t work. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you
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.
Hi John Sw! I have the same problem with the red wire coming from the ceiling, how did you fix it? If you did. Thank you
I've connected all wires as mentioned in the video. However I have a red wire coming from the house that does not connect to anything? When I try to turn on the fan. Nothing happens. Any suggestions?
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).
Thanks!
You're welcome!
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?
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.
Yep just happened to me now receiver will go in but then the fan will be crooked! Did the 45 angle mount fix this problem
I had to alter the 45 degree fixture. Took wire snips and cut opening longer to accommodate the increased angle. Mine is white so I just resprayed it. Up in ceiling you can’t tell it was cut. Worked out well.
@@billyoung4214 thank you appreciate it! idk why they didn’t make the bracket a little bigger so the receiver would easily fit but u know how it is can’t have nothing nice!
I did the installation and all good but after six months the light went off and I checked all the wires and I even changed the light fixture (I have two ceiling fans in my living room) and with no luck still no lights, i’m thinking replacing the remote receiver
We would suggest calling Hampton Bay customer service. The LED module and other parts will still be covered under warranty.
Love this fan , just wondering if you have to use the 6in down rod ? Want to mount it for the flush look !
This fan does not have a flush mount option and must be installed with a downrod.
@@ceilingfans101 Thank You , just had to mod it and cut 3ins off and remake the hole for the lock pin . Work perfect !
@@fr8fiends do you have video of your mod. I have 8ft ceiling and want to install as flush as I can.
@@MarvWhite17 I don’t have a video of my mod , I just installed it and took measurements on how much I can cut off the down pipe and predrilled the hole again for the locking pin ! It’s kinda easy anyone can do it , if your the one that installed it .
How many inches is it from ceiling to bottom of the fan
Hello. Is there any way that this ceiling fan can be install without downrod?
This fan does not include a flush mount option.
In our unit there is a white and blue wire coming out of the bottom to connect to the light (instead of white and black.) Is it possible we got a faulty unit? We have it installed but we can’t get the light or fan to turn on. We have double checked the dip switches, remote battery, and hot/neutral line connections.
When you say bottom, is the white and blue wire from the fan or receiver? The fan should have a quick connect wire harness that plugs into the receiver, then the receiver should have separate wires to connect to the house supply lines (hot and neutral).
At 11:50 in the video it says to connect the “black light kit wire to the black wire and the white lite kit wire to the white wire”.
In my unit there are two wires for the light kit to connect to, white and blue. Not black and white.
Followed your video to the T but I only have one speed with the fan. How do I fix this?
That's odd. If you have already double-checked the wiring connections are properly and completely made, we would suggest calling the Hampton Bay customer service team at 1-855-434-2678. Their team is pretty good at troubleshooting over the phone.
@@ceilingfans101 Thank you for the phone number!
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.
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.
Great video very helpful
I have a black wire switch for the fan. I also have a red wire switch for the light but in this model fan it only calls for the use of the black wire for both the fan and the light. What should I do with the red house wire just wire nut it off and not use the switch is my question?
For this particular fan, we would suggest capping off the red wire. Please note that if the receiver is connected to a switch, the light color temperature may change if the switch is turned off/on too rapidly (typically within 4 seconds).
@@ceilingfans101 thanks that’s what I did.
Best video
Awww, thanks!
I can't get the light kit off only magnets holding it ? Iv tugged and tugged on it.
The whole light kit is held on by magnets. To remove the light kit, you need to pull down firmly. If you only need to remove the light shade, that just twists out (unscews) from the light kit pan.
I have the same fan and followed all steps… the fan will not turn on. I exchanged it for a second fan and tested it with another model ( this worked) the second mena fan makes a clicking noise but does not spin or turn the light on. Any ideas?
Sounds like a wiring issue, maybe. We would suggest calling Hampton Bay customer service at 1-855-434-2678. Their team is really good at troubleshooting over the phone.
Red wire connector to black wire from house , there is another red wire coming from house , what do I do with it ?
Thanks in advance !
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.
Where you able to figure this issue?
Is this fan able to install without the rod? I’m the case of low ceilings.
No, this fan does not have a flush-mount option.
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!
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.
I have two of these in an outdoor covered area about 10 to 12 feet apart. The covered area is roughly 10x30. There is very little air movement in this space. 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. Just hoping to get close to that.@@ceilingfans101
How did you assemble the hanger ball?
The ball was already installed on the downrod.
Can this be install to two switches to control the fan and light ?
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).
Great video. Although this fan barely blows.
Thanks. Make sure the fan is operatin in the proper direction to create a downward airflow.
Is it possible to connect this to two switches, one for the light and one for the light
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).
@@ceilingfans101 appreciate the info! I'll take a look into and if it'll be worth it. If not I'll just use the remote and one switch
I am installing this on a slanted ceiling and I am unable to keep the ball rod straight because there is not enough room between the ball rod and the remote receiver to slant the rod. Any suggestions?
The fan can be mounted on a sloped ceiling with a maximum angle of 20 degrees. If the angle is greater than 20 degrees, you will need a 45 degree canopy kit that allows for a greater installation angle.
Thank you for the information. Are you able to provide me with a model number or link to purchase this kit?
@@glendahazlitt6977 one option would be internet #320420747 available at Home Depot dot com.
I have my Mena installed on a sloped ceiling and the remote receiver will not fit in the space in the bracket. It only fits when it is installed on a flat ceiling, even though it's advertised for sloped installations. Where can the receiver be hidden on a sloped ceiling?
The fan can be installed on a sloped with a maximum angle of 20 degrees. If the angle is greater than 20 degrees, you will need a 45 degree canopy kit.
@@ceilingfans101 Thank you. It seems that detail was not in the instructions, about the slope, or what product would help finish the job. Hampton Bay/Home Depot should take a better look at their manuals.
@@donnmiller5875 we would suggest something like the Commercial Electric 45 degree canopy kit. It's available on the Depot website (search model # 82725). They can be painted to match your fan's finish.
The box says it can be mounted on a slope ceiling; had I known that I needed to buy an extra device to make that happen I Would NOT have bought it .
Any tips on how to make it not wobble?
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. Hope that helps. Let me know!
I installed the ceiling fan but it seems like the power is always low. What can it be?
We would suggest calling Hampton Bay customer service at 1-855-434-2678. Their team is pretty good at troubleshooting. They will also be able to send any replacement parts if necessary.
Can u please install the 42” centreville celling fan
thanks for the request. Unfortunately, that fan is not on the production schedule.
Lol I actually have a 42” centreville
Great hoe to video! Very easy to understand and follow! I am however having one problem. My blades are not sliding into place as easily as it seems in your video. I can get about half of the tab into the slot, but there is much resistance to get the remainder in. Any thoughts or hints? TIA!
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!
Thank you so much. I’ll give a try again.
@@anisako25 please let me know how it works out.
What about the red house wire I have?
If your wiring differs from the manual, we have to suggest contacting a licensed electrician to ensure wiring is connected correctly. That being said, a red wire is typically a switch wire. If that is the case, you can use the house red wire instead of the house black wire. This would allow you to turn the fan and light on/off simultaneously using the switch. Please note that if connected to a switch, the light may change color temperature if the switch is turned off/on too rapidly (within 4 seconds).
Can this fan be flush mounted?
no, but there is a hugger version available (model #92403)
Fantastic install video, got my fan installed with barely a hitch. :)
Glad to hear that!
I have a spare red wire, what am I supposed to do with it
We would suggest just capping the red wire with an electrical nut and some electrical tape.
How can i install this as a flush mount?
This fan does not have a flush mount option and must be installed with a downrod.
It cycles through the light Temps how to make it stay on one
Did you wire the fan's receiver to a switch? If so, the light may change color temperature if the light switch is turned off/on. For optimal performance, we would suggest only using the remote to control the fan and leave the switch on, or wire directly to the house constant wire instead of the switch.
Thank you this video was very helpful. However… there is a pink piece of paper with the downrod showing instructions that don’t work for moving the grounding screw. The tutorial skipped that part. Other than that all was straightforward with the help of the video.
I have a fan and a light switch? how do I wire this fan?
This fan is not designed to be used with separate switches. The only recommended switch option would be to connect the receiver's power wire to a switch wire (typically a red wire). The switch must be a standard on/off toggle style switch. Technically, the wiring could be altered to be able to be wired to 2 separate switches, but we do not recommend that because you will lose the ability to control the light's color temperature settings.
@@ceilingfans101 thank you!! If I was to wire it with two switches how would I do that???
@@Yatzse74 we have to say that we are not licensed electricians and if you are unsure of wiring, you should contact a licensed electrician. That being said, to wire to 2 separate switches, you would need to cut the wire harness plug from the fan wires. Then you would be left with 3 separate wires: Black (fan speed power to one switch wire), blue (light power to the other switch wire), and white (neutral). Please note that if connected to 2 separate switches, you would lose the ability to control the light's color temperature setting. The light may cahnge color temperature if the light switch is turned off/on rapidly (within 4 seconds).
What if the ceiling also has a red wire
We are not licensed electricians and if you are unsure about your wiring, we would suggest calling a licensed electrician. With that said, typically a red wire is a switch wire. If that is the case, you can cap off the house black wire and connect the receiver power wire to the red wire. That would allow you to turn the fan and light on/off using the switch. We don't recommend using a swtich with this fan because if the switch is turned off/on too quickly (within 4 seconds), the color temperature of the light may change.
While removing the screw that holds the ball on the down rod to add an extension, the screw broke like it was made of plastic and stuck inside. Got a new fan and the way the remote sits tight in the housing, it won’t fit on a slanted ceiling. What a nightmare.
If the angle of the ceiling is greater than 20 degrees, you will need a 45 degree canopy kit.
How do you remove the fan blades?
To remove the blades, you'll need to remove the light kit. Pull the light kit down (it is attached by magnets). Then you will have access to the blade clips. Squeeze the clips together to release the blades and pull the blades away from the fan motor housing.The clips can be seen in the "Checking the blades" section (11:07).
I'm having same issue I can't get light kit off won't budge
