Install Harbor Breeze Armitage 52" Ceiling Fan with Light

[@TPNWR10]

This is the fan I got on my birthday many years ago and one or more blades are bent now. Never installed. I bought the fan at Lowe's.

[@mrbignatedog_Official]

The armitage is a huge childhood fan for me because my grandmother used to have one and I remember going to lowes and picking it out myself and it had the oak blades facing down though

[@crypticreality8484]

In any case, I want to say thank you very much for this video. It was tremendous. My fan is running perfectly.

[@fl0pZ3]

thanks for this. im getting this fan because the one in my room is literally older than me, the lightbulb cover is broken and i can’t have the speed too high because it wobbles around like crazy. i asked my dad for one and he said no, so im getting it myself and hopefully putting it up myself. wish me luck lol

[@savemoneydiy1462]

Yes good luck! 🍀

[@crypticreality8484]

I just don't believe my home has a 'bare/ground' wire. Perhaps they didn't ground everything in 1960? From what I read, the ground won't affect the performance, it's just a safety feature?? Please let me know when you can. And thanks for this video also!!

[@crypticreality8484]

@@savemoneydiy1462 I got it running fine... The green just wasn't available. Thx.

[@Dw-fr3yt]

there is a bug in my light shade so I tried to detach the shade. But it wont come off. I tried harder and the lower half of the motor assembly came off...

[@catherinedoesit9720]

How do you remove the cover piece to replace the light bulb?

[@savemoneydiy1462]

Twist left (counter clockwise as you are looking up at it) and pull down the cover. Sometimes it needs to find just the right spot, so if it hangs up adjust it a little left, little right, repeat, etc. until it comes off.

[@teroweezy7405]

GREAT VIDEO! Just both the same fans yesterday, Ready to install now!👍👍 THANKS!

[@savemoneydiy1462]

Nice 👍

[@harrigro]

I have an older house with only 2 wires in the ceiling. Black and white. No copper ground. Where would you connect the green ground wire coming from the fan motor. Perhaps ground it to a screw bolt

@@savemoneydiy1462 thanks. I put it up last month and it worked out OK.

[@crypticreality8484]

My house (1960 built) has the black and white (I'm doing a single switch), but I don't know what you mean by 'bare wire'..... Never done this before.

[@The_Tr3nch]

Bare wire should be just a wire without a sheath that you attach the green (ground) wire from the fan. If yours does not have a bare wire in the box, you can attach it directly to the box with another screw. It just needs to be grounded to metal.

[@Mixwell1983]

Thanks for the how to but how did you verify the box was weight rated? I have 2 rooms with regular light fixtures i wana swap for these fans but have gotten into it to see if the boxes are rated for a ceiling fan. I anticipate having to buy an old workbox rated fan to install BUT it'd be nice if i dug into and found that the builders actually used a rated box which I doubt.. All in all $60 for a 52" fan aint bad even if i have to get a proper box but i won't know until i take down the current lighting Hey I'd recognize that Harbor Freight (used to be) free 6 in 1 screwdriver anywhere. Great screwdriver and i have a few that i use ALL the time

[@savemoneydiy1462]

We bought from the builder about 10 years ago and they had told us the box was rated for ceiling fans

[@shoh347]

Thank you for making it easier to put up my fan.

[@savemoneydiy1462]

You bet!

[@sammynogo559]

I’m pretty sure if you’re watching this it’s too late. … yup remove the fan blades and start over

[@wendyroberts4171]

Can you leave the washers on that paper adhesive and install the arm/blades over it

[@savemoneydiy1462]

You should remove the washers. That way, the washers will be on the arm side of the blade, not the motor side. I mean, if you totally just couldn't get the washers off or something maybe try leaving them in place and see what happens? But you should take them off. Thanks for the question. Good luck and stay cool!

[@donyemonroe4577]

How man speeds does this fan have

[@savemoneydiy1462]

Three

[@deborahcurtis5161]

What did you turn off

[@FMG25]

Incredibly helpful. Thanks for the video and tips. Take care.

[@savemoneydiy1462]

Glad it was helpful!

[@manismunweller]

Great video. I’m putting mine up tomorrow and this definitely answered some questions I had about the installation.

[@savemoneydiy1462]

Glad to hear!

[@mrbignatedog_Official]

Btw the washer on the motor should come off with the screw because that’s what happened to mine when I took off the screws

[@theneurospicymothertrucker]

My house wires are yellow and beige. I don’t know which one is power and ground.

[@AIex124]

What size bulb fits into that socket?

[@savemoneydiy1462]

The size is called A15. It’s about 1 inch across at the base where it goes into the socket. It’s about 3.5 inches tall from contact point to tip. You need a short bulb like this so the shade can still fit over it. Something like this: GE Relax LED Ceiling Fan Light Bulbs, 5.5 Watts (60 Watt Equivalent) Soft White HD Light, Clear Finish, Medium Base, Dimmable (2 Pack) a.co/d/6e1D9iF

[@teroweezy7405]

What if I don’t have a green connection from my house, I just have a white, red, black.

Here is some info on wiring that may help diy.stackexchange.com/questions/29459/what-do-i-do-if-there-are-only-two-wires-coming-from-my-ceiling-electrical-box

[@thejoshuawolfram3426]

3:12 That will make your fan a lot more noisier, Because it doesn't get the correct voltage For it to run, That can wear out the motor and burn it out,

[@Mixwell1983]

Im not sure what you're saying or the video, usually ceiling fan wiring uses 14/3 so you have a black hot for the fan and a hot red for the light etc as long as you have a 2 gang box and wiring.. On a 14/2 i understand they can be wired together on a single switch that provides power to both at which point you'd use the pull chain to dictate power.. Edit: i see your comment is old so O apologize for chimming in but I dont know if my comment was related to what you mentioned

[@thejoshuawolfram3426]

I thought that was a dimmer switch and those are only designed for lights but not replying the correct voltage to a ceiling fan can warn it out because these spinner AC motors are not designed for low voltages.

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

The dimmer can burn out a motor by causing net DC, not by lowering voltage. Dimmer makes chopping current which causes hum. The fan control is capacitor based which lowers the voltage in a smooth way. Most internal 3 speed control are capacitor based and lowers the voltage to the motor.

[@inimayhiro7758]

Bro, my ceiling has 2 white wires and the fan has 4 (black, Blue, white and a separated green) Can I still stall it or what 😳
