Dude! Your video saved me. I had 2 fans installed in bedrooms next to each other. The guy who installed them, threw away the manuals. Thank you for saving me the Google search to find a digital copy of the manual.

Thank you, my fan all the sudden quit responding to the remote. glad to see your video and got it worked again.

[@thebartendermechanic]

glad it worked for you

[@adamworthington9914]

Dude! I have three of these fans and over time they each stopped completely working. Finally got fed up enough to figure out what was going on. Fixed them all in three minutes because of your video. Great work!

[@thebartendermechanic]

I'm glad the video helped you, I appreciate your comment

[@lastusername3223]

Thank you very much for making this video! My fan stopped responding with remote commands. This reset tutorial fixed my issue in under a minute.

[@thebartendermechanic]

Awesome, glad to hear that

[@Freebird-1122]

I keep returning to this bc my neighbors keep ending up on my frequency. Neighbor, if you’re reading this, stop it! 😂 So annoying, but this video is a gem.

[@thebartendermechanic]

Haha, I had the same problem, that's why I made the video, I'm glad to help!

[@susanspencer4447]

[@witchypoo13]

My wall switch is in the attic. They weren’t able to hook it up on the wall because of how the electrical was without tearing a hole in the wall. Going outside and turning off the breaker and following your instructions resolved the problem. Thank you so much!

[@thebartendermechanic]

I really appreciate your comment happy to help

[@ctdove1433]

OMG...thank you! My sons fan stopped working, and I thought it was the battery in the remote. It still did not work after installing new battery.. but it is working after this quick reset.. thank goodness because it's hot down here in florida!

[@thebartendermechanic]

Glad to help, it is hot in Florida!!!

[@leslieseibel8554]

THANK YOU! You just made my day!!

[@thebartendermechanic]

Very helpful. Thank you. The fan instructions left out the part about turning off the power first.

[@noahkoepke6848]

Bro my parents room upstairs was on the same frequency as mine and it was so hot in my room and I kept turning on their light trying to turn on my fan. I watched this video and thank god bro your a lifesaver

[@thebartendermechanic]

I'm glad to help, thanks for the comment bro!

[@gbrawls43]

We put up with an upstairs fan turning the light off on our living room fan for years. Then the living room fan remote wouldn't even turn the light back on. New battery didn't help, so I tried changing channels like you did and reset it, and boom it worked. Thanks for the video!

[@thebartendermechanic]

Awesome!!

[@iPYW]

I actually was looking for that dimmer option, didn't know it was in the remote. Accidentally helped me solve my issue I think!

[@thebartendermechanic]

Awesome

[@JCM-mi5re]

Perfect! Worked like a charm in two seconds!! Thank you!

[@1bestvideos]

Thank you for sharing this. In my case i did not have to open the remote control, i just did your trick with the switch and it worked. Best of lucks to you.

Thank you very much I’ve been meaning to try and change those setting for a while. But I thought I had to open up where the motor of the fan was to do it. I was t sure of doing that so I never changed it. Your video showed me how to do it very easy. Thank You!

[@thebartendermechanic]

Glad I could help!

[@susanspencer4447]

Thank you!! I changed the dead batteries in my remote and the fan and lights still would not respond. Then I just turned on wall switch and held the remote center button down and it reprogrammed to the same frequency and I’m good to go! I told my spouse that I saved an electrician bill and we’re going out to dinner now.

[@thebartendermechanic]

Awesome!

Thank you! Worked a treat! Cheers!

This was so easy! Thank you! I do have an issue though--we have 4 fan/lights on our porch and the remote controls two of them even tho they are calibrated differently on the back of the remote. I'm not complaining though. It worked!🙂

[@erikango7637]

Thank you! My remote stopped working but I think it must have switched to a different frequency when I dropped it recently. I was about to buy a new remote.

Excellent! My wife threw away the manual as most women do, (sorry ladies, it's true), so this did the trick. I knew it was something with the remote to reprogram, but I could not recall the sequence...

I ONLY have the wall switch, though... I'm in a Hilton.

Oh shoot, if only there were circuit breakers

[@elaineciampa1450]

Does this method work with a replacement remote for the MinkaAire fan? We lost our original remote and need to connect the replacement to the fan. The remote we have looks the same inside and out. Thanks

[@thebartendermechanic]

@@elaineciampa1450 I would think so, if it's the same model

question, my fan and light stopped working, i don’t have a remote for my minka aire, only the wall controller that looks similar

[@fidbau48]

Your wall control switch can also be reprogrammed, pull the center cover and you’ll find the numbers/buttons and just follow this video instructions.

[@guerreroseternidad]

Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jamesalbert4520]

Thank you

[@Pattymelt415]

Thanks!!!!!

[@TheFanOfFans04]

My Fans are talking. One is a craftmade and the other is a minka Aire

[@yamahapeanut44]

How do I make it where the wall switch turns on my fan and not the stupid remote?

[@thebartendermechanic]

The wall switch would have to power the circuit of the fan.

[@yamahapeanut44]

@@thebartendermechanic it does. It took me forever to realize that the switch only holds memory after one minute. So if you turn home light switch off and back on, fan wont turn on until after one minute. Thanks

[@brwharton14]

What if this doesn’t work. What does that mean?

[@thebartendermechanic]

I'm not sure

[@martinefelts6575]

What if you don't have a light????

[@thebartendermechanic]

some fans you have to change the frequency on the fan and the remote. check out my new video kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn6aZZmqrNB5m9k in the first 2 mins I show how to change the frequency on the fan itself

[@diannerohald244]

My fan is working fine but the light just turned on and I can't get it to turn off

[@joeyartone9378]

Yep. Turns off for a slight second and goes back on

[@EonsHD]

Same 😢

[@IbrahimWahidi2005]

It’s actually pronounced min-ke

[@Fmcbak2112]

When I'm pressing the power button to sync, I just hear a clicking noise instead of seeing the lights flicker on and off. Any ideas why?

[@brianadams8832]

My fan speeds seem wrong. There's little diff in speed between 1-5, then 6 is very fast. Any ideas?

[@thebartendermechanic]

Do you have another remote you could try? If the problem persists with a new remote, then you know its in the fan

[@rachelgentry8376]

What if your fan doesnnt have light?

[@thebartendermechanic]

I'm not sure

[@ChristineLindsays]

Can I get the remote alone for purchase

[@thebartendermechanic]

yup looks like a few suppliers sell them www.build.com/search?term=remote

[@user-sj6rm5dz8b]

How do I make my fan go in reverse

[@thebartendermechanic]

Hit the button with the two arrows pointing at each other at the bottom of the remote, not all fans can do it or have the button.

how would it break your fan? its just resetting the remote frequency
