Thanks for the video…. Here’s what I did wrong, I didn’t take the plastic off the battery before installing in remote!!! Make sure you do that!! Thankfully my wife was around! 🤣

[@saimadurrani439]

This just helped us.. we did the exact same thing not seeing the plastic on the battery.. thank you for this comment lol

[@scotthendrickson4064]

Thanks Brian, I couldn't figure out where the remote box went and how to wire it, super helpful video. Thanks again!

[@titofett71]

Just Wanted to let You know your video really helped me thru the process.. I bought the Same fan and installed it following your video was a breeze.. Thank you Man

[@anthonyw2605]

Thx. I was having a hard time figuring out where the control box for the remote was placed. You showed it perfectly and now I am done with my son's room fan.

i realize it is kind of off topic but do anybody know of a good place to watch new movies online ?

[@sdunlap70]

Dude THANK YOU. I could not figure out for the life of me where that receiver was supposed to go

[@myothercarisadelorean8957]

Regarding the DIP setting. I manage an apartment complex of 8 units. We had the place renovated and our contractor put these fans in all the units. Now we have cross frequency issues. Will have to figure out combo sets so that tenants dont turn on/off tenants next to them but I gotta say what a pain in the ass. Seems like old technology have to set combo switches.

[@FXRChristopher]

You explained it well except for the wiring. Where does the blue wire go?

[@budchin1]

Your video helped a lot. Thanks for posting.

[@RodMo1911]

After hours of trying to install this fan, I finally figured it out. I had to connect my Red Wire out of the ceiling to the Black AC wire from the remote receiver and I got action. I have 3 more to install it will take me about 20 minutes to do so,. When I connected the Blue wires to the red wire (like in the video) the light stayed on but the remote nor fan worked. I followed all the other steps but connected the Red Wire to Black AC wire and it works perfectly. My house is a new build and the black wire from the ceiling was capped.

[@BradleyPhillips-n8t]

I was just looking for general information on how to wire up a fan remote.....and this was the exact fan!! LOL. Thank you for the instruction!

[@imaginariumlab8425]

Hi! thanks so much for the video. I wanted to ask you if you could use the remote control from another room, or outside of the room, or if you need to need in front of the fan? thanks so much!

[@4x2WagonFamily]

Near the fan. It’s an RF signal meaning line of sight works best.

[@TalentNetworked]

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

[@Jmoney_82]

But what did the two loan wires come in off the side of the remote box go to you say the wires coming out of the fan so all the wires hook together? I don't understand the part I needed the most you did not show

[@Jmoney_82]

At 14:20 i dont understand where you hook up the 2 wires coming out the right side of the remote box.

[@SugaDontPlay]

Thanks for the video! I'm in a rental and my fan is scraping, it seems, against the light housing. Do you have any idea how to regain the separation?

[@4x2WagonFamily]

You can reverse the install process and see what’s scraping.

[@SugaDontPlay]

@@4x2WagonFamily This video skips all steps that would give me insight into addressing the part of the fan that's scraping against the light housing, unfortunately. (Not to imply that you were obligated to show it.)

[@christianzea9392]

Hi when I connect the cables the same way you did it. The light turns on but the blades don't move do you know why? Please Thank you

[@christianzea9392]

Do I need to connect the red wire? In other videos they don't connect it can you explain for me please why it's that?

[@4x2WagonFamily]

Are you using the wall switch to control the fan? If so, turn on the wall switch to on position and use the provided remote control to control the fan and light.

[@marchingdavids]

Can you turn the light on with the light switch instead of using the remote?

[@4x2WagonFamily]

Yes. And you can dim the light with the remote also.

[@bosshova23]

[@khgriffi]

Do not connect the red wire and leave it capped. If you connect it with the blue as he did in the video, the light will stay on indefinitely.

[@Alexa42892]

Is the light Yellow? Looking to buy this one.

The wall switch light and fan has to be off position. I didn’t realigned until later.

[@barbarita22]

You explained more when unpacking the box than you did the wiring. 🤦‍♀️

[@4x2WagonFamily]

Barbara your right the wiring instructions was fast, but super simple. you may need to replay or slow the video at 12 minute mark area. Basically the wire harness is broken into two sections off the motor. One section goes to the house wire and the second harness goes into the remote. It’s color coded and it should be straight forward... let me know if you have more questions, best.

[@barbarita22]

@@4x2WagonFamily I have a 2 way switch. The light is working but not the ceiling fan. It works on the remote but the light doesn't work on the remote. 🤦‍♀️ Can you please help?

[@johng2463]

Do not buy this fan unless you like to squeeze six wiring connections into an impossibly small opening inside the housing, because the vast majority of the room inside is taken up by the remote control receiver. Piece of sh*t.

[@4x2WagonFamily]

Lol, yeah it’s tight as a water frogs ass:)

[@RandallDHoffman]

Very true. It’s a piece of crap. It is damn near impossible to connect the wiring to that stupid remote control box.

[@AmerickiZivot]

My remote won’t program, any idea?

[@4x2WagonFamily]

Make sure The fan switch on from the wall, and your light switch is off. Then your remote should work unless you have a three way switch.

[@4x2WagonFamily]

The remote wiring instruction starts at 13:30 into the video.

[@felipeagosto1914]

Remote won’t turn off the light. There was no red wire coming out of the ceiling to be able to connect the two blue wires. Fan Will only work if I wire them together with the black from the house and black from the fan and it allows me to control the fan with the remote but can’t turn the light on or off. Light is on permanently and only shuts off when I turn off the wall switch

[@a.rodriguez156]

Iam also having that trouble

[@cgbelch18]

Thank you so much, the instructions included were trash. I have put up a lot of ceiling fans, never had all this trouble. You saved me and my son giving up. It works perfectly. Thank you so much foe this video. This company should be ashamed for such crappy instructions.

[@bertiebrown581]

[@matthewmartin980]

Why not just run blue and black from fan to the hot wire from the ceiling?

[@tinaposton3399]

I am having that same problem. I CANNOT turn off the light, except at the wall switch and CANNOT turn off the fan

[@bsmith3095]

a lot of youtube guides are confusing but this was to the point and easy to follow, thanks!

[@TheJlgraham]

If using a remote receiver. The blue should not be connected to any other wires (Red). From the receiver - Blue to Blue, Black to Black, White to White. The receiver controls the light and fan

[@QuadTap]

No matter what I do I can't get the remote to control the light... Fan yes... Light no... Tried the supplied signal receiver and a universal replacement. Blues together.. blues plus red... Nothing.

[@mikemckernan884]

You ever figure it out, same problem here?

[@QuadTap]

@@mikemckernan884 nope... Taking it back... 2 out of three exact fans worked fine... The third the light never came on no matter what I tried

[@Arcticfox7]

Huge thanks! I’m glad you took time to record this for us. I was overwhelmed with crazy detailed ridiculous instruction manual. You helped me out a lot.

[@Cantgetusernam]

Only operational with remote control. We all know remotes and receivers go out all the time. Their fans don't have chains or switches hardwired on the fans to operate the lights or fans when the remote fails and they WILL fail leaving you with a useless ceiling fan and light. On top of that their remotes use a weird battery not normal batteries remotes use like AA or AAA batteries means you have to keep extra of these offsize batties on hand. These two SERIOUS faults are why I don't recommend ANY ceiling fans from ANY company with out external controls for when the remote kicks the bucket. The fans are very nice and I would love to use them myself if they had these needed features.

[@stevendhanjal3679]

You my friend are awesome ! Will be installing mine tmo night.. I really like the Beach Creek design. Simple, modern look..

[@RandallDHoffman]

This fan is a piece of crap. The remote control box is almost impossible to connect. There is absolutely no room to connect the wires. If I would of known that I would not of bought it. Clearly the worst ceiling fan I’ve ever installed. I’ve been working on it for two hours and still not connected. I’m so frigging mad at this Chinese junk.

[@atbien21]

Boss? Director? LOL! I know where you're coming from. Better to check now than to have to take it all down again to just to flip the blades. Thank for a great video. Now I'm off to Lowes to get a fan.

[@nelson3495]

Don’t buy this cheap garbage fan from Lowe’s! The motor makes noise after a few months!

[@AS-li9bb]

Awesome vid man! Only thing you didn''t address was if it was one switch or two controlling the fan and light. Hoping this was for 2 separate switches. {Crossed fingers}

Thanks for all information on my Harbor Breeze. You made it a breeze to do the installation. The Wife is happy again. By far the best tutorial out there.(going to get that impact driver now)

[@arronchamp9765]

Bought 3 of the same fans to install in a friends house. He has low ceilings so I opted to do the flush mount. Wired everything according to the directions, and when I turned the light on with the remote the light fixture popped, and flames briefly shot out of it. Killed the power, and inspected the damage. The white and blue wires for the LED light were charred, and there were burn marks on top of the light. I'm thinking faulty LED circuit board, but now I have to install the other two (and see if I can't return the burnt one). I don't recall anything that stated you should have a third wire (the red one) bridged between the ground and the blue wire for the light. Obviously the fan needs to be grounded, but this is taken care of by the housing wiring grounded at the base, correct?

[@RandallDHoffman]

Take it back to Lowe’s. Demand your money back.

Love his you explained this!

[@0240172]

Mine is wobbling. What could it be?

[@4x2WagonFamily]

The wobbling is usually caused by your fan NOT being installed on a metal box approved for a fan. Most ceiling lights are plastics and people will install a fan over the light not realizing a fan should be installed over a metal box. You can checkout your local Home Depot for metal box or fan box replacements.

[@tanyarubi1985]

My fan has two wires. And my house is pre-wired to control the fan with the switches. Will my fan work so I can control with the switches as well or do I have to get a three wire fan?
