Remote controls allow you to adjust your fan without getting out of bed.
Hampton Bay is a home appliance line offered exclusively at the Home Depot home improvement store. These fans are not just attractive lighting fixtures. Indeed, they also improve air circulation and cool down warm spaces. Fans mounted to high ceilings are challenging to control because the pull chains aren't within reach. In these cases, a remote-control fan is a helpful option; some troubleshooting may occasionally be required, however.
Random Operation
Occasionally, fans may randomly operate, with lights flipping or the speed changing. When this phenomenon occurs, the problem is likely a syncing issue between the remote and the fan. Unexpected, random operations can occur when two Hampton Bay fans are positioned and used near one another or when other wireless appliances are in use. To correct this frequency problem, open the remote and reset the dip switch inside. Adjust the frequency on the Hampton Bay by moving the switch located near the fan's motor. By setting both the remote and fan to a new frequency, you will regain control of your fan.
Fan Doesn't Respond
Remotes are useless if the fan will not respond to them. If you point and click to no avail, you may need to check the batteries in the remote. After removing the back panel of the remote, replace spent batteries with fresh ones. Replace the panel and try again. If the remote is still not working, it may be due to interference from other wireless products. Disable or turn off cell phones, wireless Internet and garage door openers. Try to operate the remote after all the wireless products are disabled. If the remote works, the issue is that too many wireless tools are on the same frequency. You should adjust the frequency at the remote and the fan.
Lost the Remote
Nothing is more frustrating than losing a remote. If your remote is missing, you can replace your Hampton Bay controller with a universal remote. First, choose a frequency for the remote, then set the fan's frequency to match. Once the two are synced, the universal remote will allow you to operate your fan at your leisure.
Broken Housing
Dropping the remote control on a hard surface, like a brick or stone floor, could result in cracking or breaking the remote's housing. When this occurs, take your remote control to the Home Depot store you purchased it from. This home improvement store offers a lifetime warranty for its Hampton Bay products. Some stores require you to provide proof of purchase, like a receipt, before they give replacements.
