How to Remove Dome Globe Glass Light Replacement on Hampton Bay Ceiling Fan Windward II

[@HorsepowerHouse20]

Here's where you can buy the light on Amazon amzn.to/2PB5amv

[@musicfan1427]

Just curious: Do you have issues using the dimmer feature of the light with this bulb? I'm trying to figure out how to replace the ballast which the manufacturer doesn't make anymore, and I didn't realize until now that fluorescent bulbs generally aren't dimming bulbs. I had replaced the original bulb with the GE 9 in version of this circline bulb, which is not indicated to be a dimming bulb. My family never used to use the dimming feature (just turned the fan on/off @ 100%), but I realized our tenants do. Not sure if that's the reason the ballast failed in 5 years or if that was just coincidental though.

Gotta love it

[@DJSDJS08]

The best kind!

[@CdnGirl]

❤ Just what I needed (miss my Dad!). Thanks so much!

[@chipx86]

After an hour of frustration with this thing, being sure it couldn't be removed, I saw this video and promptly rolled my eyes. "Yeah that's not going to work," I figured. Tried whacking the dome with dry hands, nothing. Reluctantly licked my hands, whacked again. And the dome nicely unscrews. Can't believe it. Thank you, sir. I was about to order a new fan.

[@Wayne-t2l]

same here. Didn't think it would work after a few slaps it loosened. Was getting ready to break the glass except I can't find a replacement.

[@SAJ31412]

Thanks! We just did it to our ceiling fan dome and it worked like this man just said in the video.We appreciate it very much

[@HorsepowerHouse20]

Thanks to you. 😁👍💐

[@broadwayrocker007]

FINALLY! I've been trying for months to figure out how to get the dome off - here's to finally having overhead light in the kitchen again!!

[@albertojimagua]

Thank you, I had attempted many times to remove the dome globe light but it was too tight. Tried to look at a few videos for instructions on an easier way to loosen the dome globe but with no success. Your video with simple instructions was what helped me find the trick to loosen the globe. Thank you much, for sharing this video.

[@HorsepowerHouse20]

Make sure you complain to Hampton Bay for a ridiculous design... sighhh

[@tonyinkyu]

Thank you so so much. You saved my day :) You instructed really good. I felt like I'm standing right next to you as a friend.

[@BilalMian]

OMG THANK YOU! A year with this fan and could not get the cover off. First try after your video and it popped right off!

[@augustyadon4456]

Thanks so much for the video, I was afraid to add any real force because I thought I'd accidentally rip it out of the ceiling. But after seeing you whoop on it, I got the confidence I needed to change my lightbulb. You're a champ 💪💪

[@larrydoc943]

His tip freaking worked First time. I tried removing my Merwry 48” ceiling fan “Glass Shade” for last 1 hour or so! I licked my palm and smacked with proper angle a few times and the Glass Shade removed easily ! Thanks for the common sense tip! You’re a Life Saver. Thanks again !

Great help for me, thanks so much for your time making this video. I've actually got a Winward III, but the principle of the lower globe removal is the same. It took a few tries using your "slapping" method on the cleaned glass, but it worked. I noticed that as I was slapping it, the light started to flicker. I assume it was a loose heater filament inside the bulb. I think the fan is close to 20 years old. After I first assembled it, I realized that bulb was going to be hard to find a replacement for, so I bought one when they went on clearance a few years later. I actually bought 4 of these expensive fans, which I think cost in the area of $200 each. Since then I have had to replace both the upper and lower bulbs on several of them, the lower ballast on one of them, a fan dual capacitor, plus the transmitter on one of them. Very expensive and hard-to-find parts, but the fans are beautiful (when they work), and are very quiet. The low profile design is very nice, and I like the thermostatic control.

[@reese9420]

THANK YOU! My light has been so stuck I just had to bring in lamps, after struggling for hours and hours trying to get off the dome without breaking it, but I finally got it free without breaking it thanks to this.

[@brookierashele]

I didn't have to wet my hand but the motion you used literally worked!! Thanks for making this video! I tried getting this thing off for a year now!! Thanks so much!!

[@threecs81]

Thanks! These yellow lights in my new apt were driving me nuts!

[@ItsMe_only93]

Thank you so much! I have a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan and it looks just like yours. Your instructions were short and to the point.

[@kimberlydauplaise6222]

Thank you! Quick and easy. Now have to buy the replacement bulb.

[@ebbrown8771]

After 3 yes of my hub not doing this, I watched your video and got it done!!! Thanks

[@a.s.2245]

Thankyou, I just bought this fan ( second hand) and no instructions were included. You saved a lot of frustration for me.

[@r37r0v1ru5]

OMG, thank you! I have a different model fan in my apartment but similar enough and after a few unsuccessful attempts I gave up for fear of breaking the damn thing. This was so helpful!

[@kaelev8077]

Legend. I have a rental and didn’t want to brute force it, helped a lot.

[@Wayne-t2l]

Thanks very much for the tip. Tried everything else with no luck. I wouldn't have tried slapping at it so hard without seeing your video.

[@HorsepowerHouse20]

The Thanks Button under the video screen awaits you

[@sandramccreary]

It worked!!! Thank you so much. I was ready to rip the whole fan off!

[@petergottschling2597]

It was tight and a complete mystery. Your bump method worked perfectly. Thanks

[@robbiemorgan2062]

Great video! Mine was stuck pretty good. I felt like I was going to break the fan getting it loose.

[@thaihuynh7908]

I felt it too ,can I ask was it Wobbly? ,I had to Turn it to lock it back in ,BC when the fan was on it kept on making those noise.

[@kurtwagner7610]

Thank you very much. I had no idea how to remove the globe until I saw this video. Thank you again!

[@ericnisley5473]

this worked after several days of trying to force it--you don't have to hit it very hard just a glancing blow. Thanks!

[@zernex1627]

Worked wonderfully, got mine off no problem. After repeated frustrations with different methods this was a relief. Thank you very much.

[@jordanpink9211]

Legend! This video is the only reason I finally got it off. Thank you!

[@Material12167]

Thanks!!!! Felt stupid smacking that thing but it worked!!! God bless this man!!!

[@HorsepowerHouse20]

[@devindavis2530]

That a next check thing or something like that. 😂

[@HorsepowerHouse20]

You can't buy a new replacement globe (unless you get lucky used.) Just buy a new fan and be done with it.

[@knowledge5106_]

Thank you so much! I will try this as just trying to use brute force made me think it was going to break. I've over the yellow light hue of my fan light and want the daylight bulb. Will be trying this today! #Salute

[@HorsepowerHouse20]

Use something sticky on your hands to get better grip of the dome. Or pad your hands and whop it firmly. Just be careful. Works though.

[@Sirhilyish]

thanks so much; this gave me confidence to fix mine :-) easier than i thought

[@MirnaPereira-j9f]

Do you know if the shade.of the 52" would fit in the 54"?

[@klopek007]

Dampening it worked incredibly well.

[@RavageBeam]

The slap ridiculously worked, haha, thanks!

[@mz-ne9rs]

Struggled for so long and had to look up this video, a moist hand and a slap did the trick!

[@HorsepowerHouse20]

It works for most people. But as they say - your "mileage" may vary how effectively it works. Always be careful doing this.
