We are getting many queries, comments and emails related to Hampton Bay Remote replacements or how to make Ceiling fan work with Remote control. We would like to provide some instructions with circuit diagram on how to install remote control for a ceiling fan. Also there is a video at the end where we show an installation demo. Make sure to download the Remote Control Installation Manual.
SAFETY NOTE: Anytime you work on electricity turn the cirucit breaker off and mark the breaker panel as “BEING SERVICED DO NOT TAMPER”. Test all components with a working voltage detector before touching any wiring.
The above circuit diagram clearly shows how a ceiling fan should be connected to the remote control. Make sure that the remote control receiver is placed within the fan and connected exactly as specified in the diagram. Note that when you press a button the remote there should be a small LED that lights up showing that the remote is powered and sending signal to the receiver. If the red light glows then it shows that battery is fine and the remote is working well.
If the fan doesn’t respond on pressing the button then there is some fault with the receiver. You can order receiver replacement online free from Home Depot. If the fan doesn’t work even after the receiver is replaced (as shown in the diagram) then get a multimeter and test the voltage between the incoming white and black (or red) wires. Hope this helps, if there is any problem feel free to contact us using the form.

my remote works on both my upstairs and downstairs fans, how can I seperate these remotes, would like to turn downstairs fan on without my upstairs fan turning on
Each fan has a receiver and each receiver has a different code. Change the buttons on each receive to have different codes for each fan. Each control must also be changed to match the fans code. Look at the manual for more details. Hope this helps…
Can not control my fan using the remote control,I’ve changed the battery
I am having the same problem. Changed the battery but only works intermittently. Very annoying.
My fan woked great for probably ten years with only a couple bulb changes but last night the bulb blew and when I replaced it with the correct type I cannot turn it off with the remote. The fan works fine with the remote still.
Please advise what I should do ?
Thanks,

Same problem here. I’ve lived with the remote working intermittently for years. I just cleaned the contacts and it worked more often until now. The rubber buttons no longer function when they contact the board. I figured it was the battery but after replacing and seeing these posts. There must be more to it.
Where can I get a replacement remote?
I have two installed two fans and plan to use a common remote. Fans work great but one light seems to take to clicks initially to turn on., thus I have the lights out of sync, one on/one off. What is the problem and how do I fix it?
Thanks
