This was possibly the most thorough and non-confusing install video I’ve ever run across. The wiring diagrams were especially helpful. You saved my afternoon!!
*Great unit that’s easy to install and use. It’s relatively quiet compared to window units and **Fastly.Cool** , and it cools down our whole living room, side room and bathroom; which is a large space for any unit to cool.*
This instructional video is oner of the best I have seen so far. Clear, concise, well recorded, great illumination and overall dis a phenomenal job in the delivery of knowledge. Much appreciated. From Puerto Rico, Luis
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.
I find that once you install the blades it's a good time to check for clearance. Sometimes these fans bind to one side or the other and it'll start ticking when you power it up.
After following these wonderful instructions, I have to say that instructions to loosen the screws for the housing unit should be done before you begin. It is difficult to do when it is up due to the small amount of space between the ceiling and mounting plate. Screws were very tight and I refused to take the mounting plate down. Great video by the way.
I just want to say I've watched a lot of how to videos and a lot of videos in general just how to do things and this by far was the best most clear most easy put together video that I've ever seen to be honest it was lovely you didn't say anything extra your voice was great you didn't stutter you didn't fumble on your words I just want to say it was really great
Thank you for the instructions. I followed them an was able to set up the fan. So thank you. On a side note, the fan isn’t very powerful. Tried clockwise and counterclockwise and nothing, barely any airflow. So proceeded to uninstall it and will try another brand.
I needed a new fan to replace the older one in my bedroom. My Portage Bay 50252 Hugger 52" ceiling fan came with a mounting bracket but not a junction box. Not sure if what's in the ceiling is what is needed before my friend comes to do the installation. To play it safe, I was thinking about buying a junction box in case it's needed. What would be the correct junction box for this fan?
On the one I bought, the white wire that should be hanging from the switch housing that the light kit plugs into is loose and I don’t know where it goes. I can’t find any detailed wiring diagram to help. Can somebody tell me or show me a picture of where it should be?
My fan dosen't work light dose swapped hot wires to see if it was the wire but light worked on other switch and fan still didn't so returning for another. Got another fan hooked it up everything works .
The bottom of the fan assembly which attaches to the light assembly has a grey wire which is stripped at the end and not attached to anything. Two other grey wires are tied together in a wire nut. Any idea what the unattached grey wire is for?
The grey wire is most likely from the capacitor or reverse switch. You can use this generic wiring diagram for reference (be aware that the wiring may not match exactly with your fan). static1.squarespace.com/static/5defc719b1969710bdf73e20/t/5e3a0101ccaed56a6797c318/1580859650018/generic3capDiagram.jpg
How do you disconnect the two wires leading to the light kit? I've tried pulling them, squeezing the plastic collars, twisting them, nothing works. What's the trick? I need to redo the wiring, but can't do it until I get the dang light kit off.
Thanks for the video. However I am getting a noise from the fan. I had turned on without the blades and noticed the noise. I proceeded with the completing the installation hoping the noise will reduce , but still have the noise though.
There is usually a 24 hour break in period for the fans to clear any light noise from the motor. If the wires at the ceiling box were loose you may also experience some tapping or scraping noise as the wires drag on top of the motor. Also, in some cases foam or other packing material may get caught on the outside of the motor. Simply give a quick inspection for any loose pieces. You can contact our customer service team for detailed assistance as well: www.tal-usa.com/technical-support
@@TALCeilingFans i recently installed mine but the noise appears to be the light cap....when i remove it and take out the screws i have no noise at the highest setting....i originally fixed the issue by tightening the screws but about 5 hours later the noise has returned and it is the same cause....not sure what to do...is there some kind of rubber cusion i could add to soften the sound of the screw rubbing up on the plastic?
Responding to my post from 3 years back. It was a wire that touching that made the noise. Upon re-install I have no issues. we have 3-4 of these fans. No issues at all..
My fan dosent work..only the light....theres a bkack cable where the two cable are the blue white and black the last two cables you just connect it I don't know where to connect it and this thing's not working only the
The motor should have a blue, black, and white wire coming from the top. Connect the black and blue wires to the hot wire in the ceiling box and the white wire to the neutral wire in the ceiling box. If you are unsure about your home’s wiring configuration, contact an electrician. If the fan still won’t run after properly wiring the fan, turn off power at the breaker and inspect the wires underneath the fan motor (where the light kit plugs into). Verify that there are no melted components or disconnected wires inside. If everything appears fine, contact customer service for assistance (1-877-527-0313).
The ground wires provide some electrical protection for your fan. If there are any issues with the wiring that could cause an electrical current to pass through the metal body of the fan, the ground wires will safely direct current from the fan into your home’s grounding pathway. The Hugger has a ground wire on the motor and a separate ground wire on the hanger bracket as an extra precaution to ensure all parts of the fan are covered.
This fan requires a hot wire (usually black or red) and a neutral wire (usually white) to power on. If your outlet box does not have a neutral wire you will not be able to power the fan. As a precaution, we suggest contacting an electrician if you are unsure about the wiring in your outlet box.
For regular/drywall ceilings, you can use ceiling boxes with hanger bars. The bars mount between two supporting ceiling struts. www.homedepot.com/s/ceiling%2520box%2520bar?NCNI-5 For tiled ceilings like the one in the video, you must use a special ceiling fan support brace for suspended ceilings. The support chains mount onto supporting struts above the suspended ceiling. We use the Westinghouse model from The Home Depot www.homedepot.com/p/Westinghouse-15-5-cu-in-Ceiling-Fan-Saf-T-Grid-Support-Brace-for-Suspended-Ceilings-0107000/205949010
Rattling noise is usually caused by loose screws vibrating as the fan is running. If all screws appear okay, then it is possible that the wires are touching the top of the motor as it spins. You can lower the motor housing to see if the wires are properly secured. If you still have issues with your fan, contact customer service for direct assistance; 1-877-902-5588 (7am-3pm P.S.T.)
Thanks Rick ! Great vid for install. BTW, I'm taking down the fan due to noise - have to get a replacement from HD. Can you please share how to disconnect the wires at 3:54 in video? Thanks !
Sorry to hear you are having noise issues with your fan. The two plugs for the light kit are usually easy to disconnect, simply grasp the male plastic plug and the female plastic plug and pull them apart. If the plugs are difficult to disconnect, avoid pulling the from the wires and try using a bit more force. If the plugs still refuse to disconnect, contact customer service for assistance. Hope that helps!
Beyond regular wind noise, the Hugger should run quietly at all speeds. Noise may be caused by the following; 1. Loose wires on top of the motor. Check that the wires are secured against the top of the bracket (see 2:20 in the video). If the wires are loose, they may drag against the top of the motor, causing noise. 2. Fan wobble. If the fan has a moderate or severe wobble, it may create noise as it sways back and forth. 3. Universal remote or receiver issue. If a universal remote kit or speed changing wall control is installed, you may get a buzz or clicking noise from the fan indicating a defect in remote/receiver or incompatibility with the fan. 4. Capacitor issue. When a capacitor goes out, you may get a buzzing or humming noise from the motor while it is running. You may also have issues with fan speeds and in some case will also get a burnt plastic smell from the fan. Capacitors are replaceable and under a 1 year warranty from the date of purchase. 5. Bearing issue. This issue is more common for fans that have been installed and running for years. Heavy usage or dust accumulation may wear the bearings out and cause a grinding, tapping, or clicking noise while the fan spins. Bearings are covered under the lifetime motor warranty. You should contact 1-877-902-5588 for detailed technical support and warranty service regarding your issue.
I took out my old ceiling fan and my old landlord Mickey mouse the wiring in this house. The old fan had three wires attached to two wires out of the ceiling with the new fan the hugger there are the same three wires that were on the old fan but the diagram that you show has three wires coming out of the ceiling. At last thought I stuck my finger up there and found a third wire. Knowing my landlord I stuck my finger up again and found another wire. One wire is wrapped a lot in black tape one wire is wrapped in a lot of white tape those two were never used they were stuck in the ceiling then there's one with no tape and one with black tape where the two that were used for the old ceiling fan that had three. It doesn't match your schematics and I know my landlord was a jerk now I've got to have the new landlord get an electrician in here and figure out why there's four wires coming out of my ceiling and two were just shoved up there never used but had caps on them. Thank you so much it took me a lot of time to dissect this but without your video and diagram I couldn't figure it out again my old landlord had the house Mickey mouse. Thank you

We install one and the light is extremely dim.. is there anyway to fix, we tried different light bulbs but didn't make a difference
All the electrical stuff works, but when turning the motor on, it makes a weird clicking sound. Everything is tightened. Any suggestions?
Very Helpful Thanks.

I purchased the exact hugger fan, but it doesn't have the flush mount bracket to attach the motor . Where can I order that part from?
Where can you find a replacement light fixture for this fan?
My fan dosen't work light dose swapped hot wires to see if it was the wire but light worked on other switch and fan still didn't so returning for another. Got another fan hooked it up everything works .

How to install a new black hugger Ceiling Fan
thanks my man!
great video! (subscribed). 👍
what if you only have 2 wires out of the ceiling box, I'm assuming hot and ground.
This fan requires a hot wire (usually black or red) and a neutral wire (usually white) to power on. If your outlet box does not have a neutral wire you will not be able to power the fan. As a precaution, we suggest contacting an electrician if you are unsure about the wiring in your outlet box.
Hot and neutral, black and white
Can these fall down?
Thank you
