how to install a ceiling fan MERWRY HOME decorations how to DIY

i got this fan from home depot for $119.99 (12/5/20)
i love it and i wanted to let you know how to install one because it can get a little TRICKY.. feel free to ask me anything

[@paulwilson1449]

This is the best installation video I have seen! Instructions are clear and free of a lot of extraneous comments. Video shots are carefully done so that everything is easy to see.

[@ryanwithrow9770]

Seriously man, your instructions were so much simpler than any other video on this installation. Thank you so much

[@mariselalimon9806]

Thank you so much for your well detailed video. I was able to install my first ceiling fan with your help. :)

[@cierrawilliams1050]

Great video. I had this same one and my bulb just blew out after so many years. How do you remove the covering to change the bulb

[@SmilingOutLoud007]

Yes! I'm trying to figure out how to get the glass covering off to change the bulbs as well. I saw that he put it on by turning clockwise, but counterclockwise isn't budging.

[@JSweez87]

Better directions than the app it makes you download to use. Thanks man!

[@duece8033]

This was probably the best step by step tutorial about this product I've ever seen. I struggled looking at the instructions which by the way are confusing 😒 until I went to KZbin to find your video. Thank you so much!!

[@drewr.194]

Chris - it’s Feb 2022, and your instructions are hands down best I can find. Instructions coming out of Chinese factories are GARBAGE! Thank you for keeping it simple! Look forward to more videos!

[@jonathanbernstein03]

This was seriously the best how to video. Bought this while wife was out of town and was dreading that this could turn into an “oh crap” I’m stuck kinda moment. Perfectly executed video. Thank you!

[@annserrano3798]

This was the best instructional installation for me. 5 Stars for you Chris Craft 2. Being age 63 years of age it's not easy to see instructions. I was able to install step by step and at the end finished I felt so happy to know & see *It's now fully installed. I saved Installation labor that's wonderful. The price value I paid was $129.00 & taxes. the value is very worth it and great look and nice air breeze too. Without your help, I would not have been able to install it. Thanks so very much.

[@mbaes216]

Dude you are the man. Got this done in less than an hour because of you. Thank you!

[@jonathanblackburn7647]

Dude, your video made it hella simple. Thank you

[@Kojima93]

Just want to thank you for your instructional video. You made my life ten times easier. Thank you 👍🏻

[@natcoziay]

Great instructions!! Everything worked out just the way you explained. This helped me tremendously! Thank you.

[@hathaway127]

In comparison to the other instructional videos for this fan, yours is five star! Thank you!

[@Bakanpoloco]

Do all the blades and lights prior to lifting up... So much easier to do on the ground/couch/bed

[@the.echomaker]

Had issues making the receiver fit into the mount bracket. Watched your video and was able to get it right. Thank you for the help!

[@ami843]

please note, if your ceiling fan remote has a red light but the fan/light won't turn on. Try flipping the breaker first before you try to put a new transmitter in! I just did it and it worked! fan and light are working just fine! PS I'm a grandmother of 7 grandkids! Thank God this worked or I would have had to hire someone to fix it! 🙂

[@Floridarailfanningwith804]

Awesome how to video!

[@dannydanix8698]

Thanks a lot for your video, your simple explanation made it easier to understand. Bought 2 of the black n' brushed silver very elegant, I just installed one.

[@golferaddict85]

Hi there great instructional video! So my problem is that sometimes my fan and light randomly comes on. So my guess is someone around me has a remote with the same frequency. How can I get to the fan receiver so I can change the frequency codes along with the remote? The contractor put the fan it so I’m thinking the receiver is probably somewhere on the top. Do I have to take the whole fan apart to get to the receiver? Thanks.

[@SijoyThomas]

I have a red wire from ceiling which I capped and used the black wire from ceiling to connect to black wire from receiver and connected white and green as per instructions. The fan is not working. Do I have to use the red and black from ceiling to the black from receiver??

[@julissafernandez3374]

Make sure if you’re buying multiple fans for the house to adjust the frequencies on each on so one remote doesn’t turn off the other.

[@ervinte.mp4802]

Renting a duplex where this is happening in my two rooms and the neighbors’. The receiver was installed upside down and so I can’t get to it. Am contemplating jumping out the window.

[@SinnisjInsulator]

The one thing I would also include is caulking at each hole in your junction box with some silicone to seal up air being pushed up and escaping into your attic.

[@marcopacheco860]

Thank you for such a great explanation

[@bryan-uj5yu]

can you please do a video on how to change the code and pairing it to the fan again

[@jumpyfrog5058]

Very nice and easy to follow video, great job! I can confirm multiple comments in this video, this fan has issues with both the fan and the lighting. The lights will turn on randomly and so does the fan. This is not something with the codes on the receiver or the neighbors. I am glad yours is working fine Chris, for those who are not as fortunate, take it back to Home Depot and get yourselves a different brand or a refund.

[@chriscraft2]

I’m not saying that people are not having problems.. but it is not possible for the fan or light to just randomly turn on or off by itself.. I have 2 and I have not had even 1 issue with either ..

[@trinapatterson7309]

It is very much possible for them to cut on and off randomly.

[@nancy_allen]

Omg thank you !! Could not have installed this fan without you !!!

[@FrankHotdog]

Your instructions are awesome. I really appreciate the help. Great work.

[@UFOGHOSTHUNTER]

Perfect upload ‼️‼️‼️ My fan was so freaking easy to install ‼️

[@kimberlyb5501]

Thank you thank you I had such a hard time fitting receiver and wires and your video is the best!!

[@kimberlyb5501]

Hi Chris I am hoping you can help me? You helped me install a ceiling fan last week, so happy. I bought another one for another room and one of the screws is stripped. Ugh! I really don’t want to take it down. Motor is up, all wired, canopy cover on, blades on. Now I am at light kit. One of the screws to loosen on fan motor will not so I can’t put light kit plate on. Any suggestions? I tried a rubber band, drill in reverse. I am hoping you have an idea. Thank you!

[@DrewReaL.]

Thanks for helping ya boy out !

[@ms.syedzubia]

Thanks for the amazing video

[@scottscurpa7948]

Great video I did not look at instructions once did it all from video

[@stickbogart3657]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I can tell you they should’ve made the box a little smaller to fit in there and make room for the extra wire. That’s there all of that wire needs room because when you shove the first shroud over the mounting bracket sometimes the wire hangs down and you could see the wire through the hole or the bottom of the shroud it’s a very tight environment to put everything underneath of that cover. 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

[@TheCreativeComposer]

Hi, very good and helpful video. I got it installed by electrician but I wish I could have seen this before. But now I have 2 problems. I ordered 3 of these and of those, one is making a humming noise when the fan starts. I think it's the motor. It's loud enough compared to others so I ordered the replacement motor. How do I replace just the motor? Also, all 3 remotes control all 3 fans. I know remotes have some switches but I am not sure what I need to do on the receiver to make the specific remote sync up to it? Any help on these 2 issues is appreciated.

[@justindo5931]

Hello, did you get a fix for the humming noise on the motor? Sad to say my two fans I installed have the same issue.

[@lucascrosby1865]

How would the wiring change if I don't use the remote receiver? I've been having issues with my remote and just want to use my combo light switch

[@eltigere8585]

Great video easy to follow except how do you change the direction of the fan spinning

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

The reverse switch is under a lower canopy. But keep in mind that blades are only shaped for downdraft, and if you run it on updraft, it wouldn't cause much airflow, unless you flip blades upside down which can be dangerous cause that's how someone had blades fly off.

[@alexwiper]

That was perfect thanks Watched it once installed it works great Although I screwed on the glass piece for the light before I installed it just looking at the parts and then we can’t get it back apart so the light is not installed yet unfortunately hopefully it will come apart

[@chriscraft2]

I honestly can’t get the glass part back off either one of my fans 🤔

[@brucemetz3788]

Thank you my brother! You helped me alot!

[@JayVTheGreat]

Helped me a lot... just at the end of installation, one of my wall switches didn’t work which would be to turn the fan on & off from the wall.. but it works on the remote.. & the light control still works from the wall switch. Any suggestions?

[@r.spivey3599]

I have that same problem, but not even the LEDs work with the wall switch. Did you ever figure it out?

[@JayVTheGreat]

@@r.spivey3599 no I just left it the way it is..

[@r.spivey3599]

@@JayVTheGreat, yeah, mine has been like that for 2.5 years. I've gotten used to it. I now must replace the LED assembly in the fan because it started flickering and dimming, but at least that's an easy fix.

[@JayVTheGreat]

@@r.spivey3599 I think you can find it on Amazon

[@Nasty4664]

Great video

[@WesSternTouch]

10/10 video thank you so much !

[@misaelmunoz2762]

I can’t figure out how to switch the rotation for this and don’t have the instruction book anymore. Any help?

[@r.spivey3599]

I've got four of these fans in my house. Flippers put them in less than three years ago, and already the LED assembly in one needs to be replaced because the lights constantly flicker and hurt my eyes, and the light on another one sometimes does not turn on. I also have four overhead light fixtures with integrated LEDs, and two of them have quit working. I'll either need to replace the LED assemblies or just buy new fans and light fixtures because I don't have confidence that if I replace the assemblies I won't have to do it again in another year or two. Frankly, I'd rather change bulbs. I'll never buy another fixture with integrated LEDs. Out of 8 overhead fixtures and ceiling fans, the LED assemblies in four of them have gone bad. Also, wondering if you still think it's cool that both remotes work with both of your fixtures. My flippers did not change the codes in any of my four fans, and it has been a pain in the butt running from room to room turning switches on and off and trying to coordinate lights and fans so that I can have fans on in some rooms but not lights or vice versa. I am 62 and didn't want to have to pull the transmitters to change the codes, but now I've grown extremely weary of it.

[@hamber99]

Great job!! I am confident that I can do it with your easy installation!

[@marcopacheco860]

This is a great video ; it saved my day 🙏

[@ernestjackson979]

Excellent video clear instructions great demonstrations now if you can answer my question that would be great . I have had my fan for five years and the light started flickering I assumed it was time to change the LED light I was trying to replace the light section before I saw your video I unscrewed the section that the light is attached to in ERROR . Once I seen that was wrong I retightened the section but the light does not come on at all now .What should I do replace LED or replace the fan?

[@julieknichel8026]

For the life of me I have no idea what Ive done wrong but I cannot get the light to work. I even bought another light disk for it. I’m so confused. Your video was great though by the way, thank you!

[@notsodirtyd3733]

Hi, did you have a problem with the motor wire to the receiver twisting when you turn the fan on?

[@chriscraft2]

no

[@talesta]

Broo I need some help here. I just saw your video, and I would like to know if you know what kind of capacitor this ceiling fan has. actually I'm looking the Tidal Breeze model... is there any chance you may know abt ?

[@NeoJester416]

Awesome video, makes me feel like me with no skills can do this

[@firstgenerationgarage2803]

First 👍great video very helpful

[@chriscraft2]

thank you for checking out the channel..

[@SergeezyLGND]

Thank you for the help!

[@Nelchalo]

Great video man! Thanks for your help! messing around with little screws upside down is a pain. The only thing I would like someone to explain is the electric box is not installed to a stud or joists then what to do? Sheetrock on the ceiling will not support the weight of the fan?

[@chriscraft2]

you have to add a stud between the ceiling joists … Sheetrock will not support the weight

[@Nelchalo]

Makes sense thanks Chris

[@AmarSingh-jr5vb]

Super helpful

[@davidchong2617]

Awesome video! Thank you so much. I moved to a place that has 3 of these fans and the controllers all control the fans. I need to program one fan to each controller. Are you able to show that somehow? Your help is greatly appreciated. I think you need to set the code on the remote to match the code on the receiver. Is that correct?

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

Yes the receiver is in the upper canopy.

[@lilianabastidas9178]

Thanks for the help 😊

[@angelicaa03310]

Fan doesn’t turn on only the light please help. Also i noticed my receiver doesn’t have that yellow antenna like yours

[@johnnyk2494]

excellent-- getting ready to install 2 for a friend today

[@martinaguilera8826]

I believe you can hold the light bulb symbol on the remote to make it brighter!

[@chriscraft2]

yes you can.. i did not know that at first

[@breckareilly8131]

You just solved my problem! Wondered why my light was so dim!

[@TheBlindGam3R]

Any advice if you don’t have a black and white wire to connect to the receiver. Just a red one. And 3 tan ones twisted together that power 3 different light! (Kitchen,car port& back patio)

[@danielmiller9413]

Red is the black wire and the tan are the white

[@americasqt01]

Did you figure this out? Mine is the same way

[@parmsingh3822]

I am happy on first hit comes your vedio and did big help to replace my old one with new like champ 🏆 😉 I even does not open the instructions package ...

[@woccie]

just got done installing mines and man your introduction made it so easy definitely deserved my sub 👍🏽

[@nnichat7756]

Thank you for this.

[@tonycorlioni9276]

Life saver thanks

[@RichardandEmmaWang]

What is your favorite speed on it?

[@MattWarren-ve1sb]

I had a contractor install 2 of these fan but the remotes both operate both fans-which means one command given to the remote makes both fans in each room operate. How do you get the remotes to work independently with each fan?

[@chriscraft2]

I have another merwy fan video I show it

[@ryanhammer7353]

Can you tell me where the reverse on this fan is? I know it says surface of motor assembly, but I swear I can’t find it. Thank you!

[@chriscraft2]

2:50 and literally page 1 of the instructions

[@gailfuller9961]

Great video! My fan had been working. Now the light still works and not the fan. Have you ever encountered this?

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

Did you feel any vibration from the motor?

[@paulsingh7398]

Anyone know how to remove the receiver and remote so a wall switch with fan speed dimmer is only control?

[@jackybanuelos3090]

Hi I don’t like that it’s not bright enough and it’s not as warm as I’d like. Is there anyway to replace the led inside for a warmer brighter one ? If so what do you recommend?

[@danielmiller9413]

Hold down the light button and itll gradually increase brightness to extremely bright 😎

[@luispalomino5514]

Good job 👍

[@TeXasDadBod]

Man thanks your video made it so much easier for me 🙏🏽.

[@blewcollarguy5491]

Your spot on with the brightness

[@danielmiller9413]

Hold down the remote button

[@Sh0ckwaveProductions]

i loved the part where he says make sure its off or it will ruin your day - lol

[@danielcastroobando389]

Hi, do you know where is the capacitor located? I have mine for years now, medium speed and high speed are the same there is no improvement when I switch between both speeds so I guess is the capacitor but I don’t know where is located to replace it :/

[@chriscraft2]

I dont think ceiling fans have one.. if it does I don’t know anything about it

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

@@chriscraft2 It does have a capacitor, probably somewhere inside the lower canopy. All ceiling fans have shaded pole motor (the last shaded pole motor ceiling fan was discontinued in 1985), permanent split capacitor motor, or DC motor (the ones wired to 120/240 volt AC power are brushless and would start differently from permanent split capacitor motor ceiling fans).

[@danielmiller9413]

Hey just a fyi if you hold down the light button on the remote it gets brighter than the sun wo the globe on wear glasses 🕶️

[@82Devilz]

If I lost the remote can I delete the light kit & use a 2 way wall light switch?

[@chriscraft2]

yes, but you will need to test and see what default settings are.. Fan might only run on high as well as light on max

[@wesadams4681]

You say the light is dim. Did you know you can adjust the brightness by holding down the light button on the remote?? My question is: Does anyone know how to change directions of the blades with the remote??

[@chriscraft2]

you can’t.. it has the little switch on the motor part to reverse it like any other ceiling fan.. I found out about changing the brightness on accident.. the light is still weak for a room as a primary light in my opinion.. but I like it and use it when I’m feeling sleepy

[@mbou7592]

Thank you!!!

[@K_Cameron]

I have the fans in 2 bedrooms upstairs. I love them but damn it’s annoying how the fan picks up the remote in the other room.

[@quinguyen5474]

I set up same but fan work and light doesn’t why?? Help

[@chriscraft2]

hold the button down on the remote.. if that doesn’t work you probably did not plug the light in

[@pedrobarraza6861]

What if I have a red, black, white and the ground what does the red wire connect to?

[@chriscraft2]

just cap it you don’t use it

[@bigxb0ssnation922]

Having a hard time getting that dome glass piece off to replace the LED. Tried turning it counterclockwise and nothing I guess I should take it down to remove.

[@chriscraft2]

mine are stuck too

[@r.spivey3599]

Your LED assembly is messed up, too. I have to replace two in four fans. I've had these fans less than three years. I'd rather replace bulbs than to ever again deal with integrated LEDs. I have two other integrated LED overhead fixtures that must be replaced as well.

[@Vile23]

You ever get that glass dome off? I need to replace the LED on mine and that thing won't budge.

[@erickmorton8085]

The light can’t be replaced it’s integrated into the fan

[@isave2430]

Hi there Chris, I love your video, I couldn't install it myself but thank god for handymen......even though the guy installed 2 of these one in each of two bedrooms.....he didnt think about the remot codes being set at default...so when one goes on the other one goes off......not a good thing if both rooms are occupied in the summer at night right???? i see that you slid the remote box into the area in the top. Do I need to cut the main power to the house to pull it out and change the code ? I dont know much on electric stuff much so I dont want to set a fire...lol thanks you talk effectively thanks you are great...

[@chriscraft2]

just turn it off on the wall switch to kill power while you change the code

[@leonibarra1899]

I followed your video but for some reason it goes on and then off. It’s buffering

[@raulpalacios2309]

Is there any lights I can buy to make this a smart fan?

The light is integrated you can’t change the bulb

Great video. What is the depth of the ceiling box you are using? I know I'm having the same issue of trying to stuff all the wires and such into the cowling. Also, how hard is it to access the switch to reverse the direction of the fan? Most fans have a switch that is easy to access. Thanks again for this video, it is a great help and I hope you can answer my questions.

[@chriscraft2]

it’s a 1/2” deep remodel box ... the switch is just like any other fan.. I never use that so I didn’t think about showing it , sorry

[@busterbud]

@@chriscraft2 Thanks! This video really helped me and I like the fan. I'm noticing that the noise from the fan is kind of amplified by the globe, as when I put my hand on the globe there does not seem to be as much vibration. I'll need to play with that a bit as the fan is in my bedroom and I need to be able to sleep with it on. Again, a great video and it saved me a lot of frustration.

[@jtheggz3955]

Hello.. can some one please tell me which would be a good replacement for the LED light... mine just went out. Thank you.
