- In this video I show the step by step process of taking down a ceiling fan. This process is specific to this Hampton Bay model but is the same general process for most ceiling fans. REMEMBER TO TURN OFF THE ELECTRICITY AND CHECK WITH A TESTER BEFORE TRYING THIS!

How to remove old harbor breeze
just start removing any screws you see and eventually you'll get it down. If not... SLEDGE HAMMER!!! Just kidding...
Thanks! Will be showing this to my husband and attempting to do. Hopefully he will see my attempts then stop me and finish up lol
HAHAHA Good plan!
This is the female equivalent of throwing a red item in with the white laundry so he's never asked to do laundry again.
Literally same
Looks great, and with a brighter bulb installed that’s all the light you need. czcams.com/users/postUgkxWF88GpljEn-0o34vtLFazEQ5h5Q33SjU As far as ease of installation- this was my first ceiling fan and it took about 3 hours because I had no idea what I was doing and also it’s helpful to have a second set of hands and a magnetic drill bit. Works great.
that's awesome to hear
Thank you so much! What a great demonstration you made it easy for me to take down a ceiling fan that has been up there and not working for almost 12 years!
awesome!
*Easy install, so far Works great **Fastly.Cool** !*
love my makita impact!!!
Thanks for the video, I watched a few but yours was the one that helped
Awesome! That's great to hear thanks for letting me know!
I just needed to figure out how to get to the fan blades so this helped immensely! 👌
awesome!
Thanks for you help my friend.
Happy to help
If you wanted to keep the fan but keep the light kit off, would you just cap the wires that connect to the light piece? Thanks for the video.
yeah i don't see why not other than the fact you'd have a big hole... some fans come with a blank cover for that exact reason. Depends on the fan you might be able to find one aftermarket
This is a helpful video.
Awesome! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for letting me know!!!
Thank you!
Okay I’m having trouble with the 1st part which is taking the screws off the base on top. I can’t get them to loosen not with wd40 or trying to undo with needle nosed pliers. Anything else I can do besides ripping it down?
you could try drilling the heads of the screws off....... may work... may not.... are you sure they are the right screws? did you strip the screws or they just won't turn? are you using a drill or screwdriver??
What ever ended up happening?
@@LBizKid04 I was able to drill out one of the screws, and then get the rest down. Got a friend to help lower and then got the new one back up.👍
@@williamcurry4868 right on man
Thanks!
No problem!
I have the exact same fan, but it is Harbor Breeze. I suspect Lowes' Harbor Breeze and Home Depot Hampton Bay are made by same factory in Asia.
I have a similar Hampton Bay fan with the cover that twists on to the ceiling plate. However the cover is stuck and will not twist. Have you run into this before and if so how did you remove the cover? Thanks, Brian
I’m running into the same problem now
i just look for screws. sometimes things are not counterclockwise to unscrew and you have to think hard about all the different ways it could be assembled
@@BorsellinoHomeServices I discovered that there were four hidden screws up near the ceiling or the top of the cover plate. They were hidden by some rubber plugs that looked exactly like the decorative rivets that were around the top of the cover plate. I was able to pry them off and remove the screws to remove the cover for plate
“Thingamabob” def a pro.
absolutely! HAHA
By power off do u mean the breaker or just the light switch to be off?
Just the light switch can be off and you’re good
most times just the light switch unless there is power going to the box and then the switch is on a switch leg off the light. Always test it with a tester and don't just assume the power is off because the switch is off..... I know from experience!
Try taking down the base of an allen roth one..real fun, had to saw it off then plyer off the round piece the found the screws to the base inside
oh no!!!!!!!! but hey! you got it!!! 💪⭐
I want to remove the fan and put just regular light. Do I need to hire an electrical person for that?
As long as you shut the power off and do it carefully, you should be able to do this! A light will mount on a fanbox no problem!
Thank you, I was in here going bonkers trying to get that housing mount off. Appreciate you!
Awesome! Glad it helped!!!
Did you get this from Lowe’s? If you did this is actually a Harbor Breeze Lynstead. Hampton Bay is a Home Depot brand.
Good call. Someone else corrected me on that too. I'm not sure which brand it was... thank you for updating me
I have finally just removed an old Hampton Bay ceiling fan. Here are the steps: 1) Remove the globe with the finger tighten screws being careful not to drop; 2)Unscrew the light fixture assembly and detach with the wire clip (or wire nuts); 3) Remove the blades one at a time by turning the blades until the screws line up with the open access area on the motor housing; 4) Twist the small ring next to the ceiling clockwise to release it and let it drop; 5) Remove the canopy section by removing the 4 screws; 6) disconnect the wires attaching the unit to the electric box in the ceiling; 7) (the big one!) Slide the ball joint out of the ceiling bracket through the single access point; 7) remove the ceiling bracket from the electric box. Hope this helps as there are many variations of Hampton Bay ceiling fans.
WOOHOO! Yeah basically just remove any screw or clips until it's gone :)
Has anyone come across a white plastic fan mount from the 1960's? I can't figure out how to remove it.
any visible screws or nails? That's my only guess 🤷♂️
Help, “wouldn’t have expected that”
Can’t get that piece of the ceiling. I am stuck!😩
send me an email at borsellinonicholas@gmail.com with pictures. If I can't help you with pictures I can hop on a zoom call or something and we can walk through it together
@@BorsellinoHomeServices thanks, your amazing. Will do
mine won't spin.could it need cleaning?
Hmmm... Worth a shot. If you take it down and see if you can pull the motor housing apart and see if you can vacuum it and maybe get a can of compressed air for cleaning computer parts and spray it in there.? Worth a shot before having to just buy a new fan. I'm not very good with electronics. It might also just be a loose wire somewhere. Do you hear a noise when you turn the fan on? Like the motor humming? Might also just be time for a new fan...
@@BorsellinoHomeServices or could i need a new motor capicitor?thanks,though
Dude this really helped me out! Thank you so much!!
you're welcome!
Thank you friend that was very helpful 😊👍
You’re welcome 😊
Not instilling a lot of confidence with calling parts, "Thingamabobs", and using the words, "try to figure this out" more than once.
Hampton fan without screws to take down
This guy doesn't know what he's doing. But he did get it down....only harder than it needed to be.
This guy (me) wonders what he should have done that would have been "easier"? Yes, I did not have instructions in front of me of how the fan was assembled, so I had to figure it out as I went along. I'm not an electrician and I'm not a professional fan installer. I'm a carpentry/contractor with 20 years in the field. So if that's what you mean by me not having any idea what I'm doing, then okay 😃👍
@@BorsellinoHomeServices don't worry about the haters bro, good job!
@@LBizKid04 thanks man!
Video was very helpful. But please kill the distracting cheesy music!
HAHA Sorry about the music. I'm actually planning to do an updated version of this soon!
So basically just yolo it? Yea, I can do that.
pretty much! Just make sure the power is off!
The Fan
Is a Casablanca not a Hampton Bay
ok cool thanks for the heads up!
Music exceedingly annoying omg
Oh jeez. Yeah I just listened to it, it's really loud. This was pretty early on in my youtube videos and I was still recording with my phone. I'd like to think I've come a long way since then... Sorry about that! Thanks for the heads up
Why would you post an instructional video when you aren't sure what you are doing? "We're not exactly sure how this thing comes down"
I got it down didn't I?! LOL... To answer your question, it's simply because a lot of people don't have the basic knowledge to figure it out sI assume that is what brought you here isn't it? I recorded as I went along and figured it out. Yes, if I had the original instruction manual I would have been able to tell you exactly what part did what, but that is rare to have on hand when disassembling things. This isn't HGTV or This Old House. This is real life. Hopefully it helped you get your fan down though! 😉
Yeah, what he said. Instructional video without instructions.
Why does everyone have to be a critic?
