Pairing a Hampton Bay remote when there's no DIP switches or Learn button

[@gfernandez4681]

IMPORTANT: If the tiny red light on your remote is flashing when you use it; replace the battery before you try to program the remote. I wasted so much time trying to program a remote whose battery was too weak to transmit to the fan. The red light on the remote should be ON STEADY when you press the button. Tnx for the video

[@GoTE_DocShock]

You just saved my life.

[@samm3799]

Very helpful advice thank you

[@sethro1]

This HAS to be the issue with ours. Checked everything else. We just bought and installed the fan a month ago so it’s disappointing the factory battery is going out already.

[@JohnA-m1t]

I have been dealing with trying to figure it out , I was told that the transmitter was bad by the harbor breeze tech. Thankfully I saw your post and sure enough it was a weak battery. Replaced and working again thank you!!!

[@jonpetix6385]

Dude this helped me out a lot thank you

[@tracymurphy6073]

Sir. I freaking LOVE you! I had NO idea how to fix my remote and the internet was 100% unhelpful until I found your video. For today ,at least, you are my hero! Thank you! You saved me throwing my fan and remote right out the window!

[@NickY-uc9fq]

Thank you so much. I have a no- name fan made in China and the remote stopped working. Your 30 second power on and off technique worked first time I tried it. Much appreciated!

[@robertkaneakua2535]

Christina is right. You are a hero! I moved in to my brand new place and after 3 months my fan stopped working. I replaced the battery, but it was not the problem until I came across your video. Thank you Tim!🤙

[@EvaNorwood]

THANK YOU! So simple and your instructions were spot-on! I searched and searched and could not find any instructions for this. All the instructions were for other remotes with these buttons you mentioned. Even the replacement remote I ordered from the maker came with no instructions.

[@christinaheine3820]

You are my hero! The remote for a newly installed Patriot Ceiling fan stopped working. Couldn't find a single guide to help figure out what it might be and there were no dip switches. You mentioned holding the fan off button and IT WORKED! LED lights cycled and problem solved. Made my day!

[@masonicmarketmasters8605]

This video saved my a$$ thanks for posting. My harbor breeze remote had stood working but the remote battery was ok. Flipping the breakr and pressing for 5 seconds did the trick for me

[@theblackryan]

Thanks! You save me with this video. NOBODY has this info on these fans. I so appreciate it!

[@martingarrett2103]

We bought two Mazon models. Installed the same day. They ran from the same frequency and the rooms were side by side. It was a struggle! This video remedied our problem. Thanks for the help.

[@aubreyhardwick4465]

Thank you!! We lost the remote & just found one that never would pair when we purchased out two fans. Life saver thanks!

[@hundreddollarscent]

Same

[@xaysilva8509]

OMG, Thank you so much. You are a lifesaver; it all started when I pushed a button, and while I pushed the button, someone I know came in simultaneously and flipped the switch off. I flipped the switch on, and it didn't work, so I went to your channel, and ITS WORS NOW TYSM. YOU'RE A HERO👍👍!!

[@chrwoolf]

This video was so clutch. Just moved into my new house and 1 fan would not work with the remote. I followed your instructions and I was done in 2 minutes.

[@mflaka1]

Thank you!! For a minute i thought my remote just was not working at all. And your video was the only information i found with this kind of remotes. I appreciate it! 😊

[@cnew22]

Thanks for your video! I tore my fan apart thinking I could rewire it to the switches. (I replaced a non remote fan just the other week) the remote wiring threw me off big time. Pairing the remote seemed to be the issue all along. I appreciate you posting this!

[@a.layson2552]

Remote stopped working a few days ago. Thanks to you this problem was solved without having to check the receiver inside the fan. Thank You!

[@wakejump4me]

Doesn’t work for me either but thanks for the video

[@timrieckhoff1168]

Thanks for the help. My daughter has a Harbor Breeze fan that has slightly different remote that you have in the video. However, it works the same as the remote you show. I was able to help her over the telephone after watching your KZbin video. Again, thanks for the help. Tim

[@phillipd03]

Can't thank you enough for making this video. I have the same model and couldn't find this info anywhere.

[@florencepuente8253]

Thank you so much for easy and clear directions. It worked. I thought my battery was out.

[@StephKinzer]

You worked a miracle!! Thank you! The trick was turning off the breaker and to stop using all my might to push a paperclip into that tiny hole :)

[@christianduverge4644]

This saved my life. I have two of these fans in my house and the one in the master bedroom did not have a remote for it.

[@crocketrealestateholdings9763]

You deserve the award for best KZbin user. Omg thank you thank you thank you! 🎉

[@fenixfirerising]

MY man Thank you, I have been looking high and low for the info. I knew it couldn't be that hard. Just what I needed.

[@NancyCobos]

Thank you so much! This saved us so much time. We were already thinking we needed to return these fans 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😅

[@kevinmcneese1750]

Outstanding.... Thanks for helping me. I looked everywhere for a dip switch or reset button. I was fixing to replace the whole remote wiring....

[@ToniTynan]

Thank you this worked!! The only thing is we had to have the center light on for it to sync!!!

[@TomT-r9n]

Thank you, I finally got the light working again. Fan still not working. I can live with that until spring and then replace the fan.

[@thesportsbros1115]

Excellent video, quick and easy! Also, 100 percent make sure your battery is good!

[@TruthseekerKC]

Super helpful! Took 5 seconds to fix once I watched this video.

[@briandickinson278]

Thank you for this information. I bought a new battery and it still didn't work. Now it works great. Thanks...

[@blindotter]

Thank you SO much. Let there be light!!

[@wanderingwidoweronwheels]

Thanks Tim. Great advice. Saved time and frustration. All the best.

[@justincipriani6102]

Cha Ching!!! 🎉 Great video. thanks for making a simple short and accurate how to.

[@vivalastephanie15]

Thank you!! My remote broke and I had to order a new one now I finally found the instructions I needed! And it was so easy!

[@hilaryh.1851]

Worked for my Hampton Bat remote, thanks so much for making this!!

[@chelseeanderson9613]

my kids misplaced my remote and i thought i was screwed!! thanks again!!

[@jeaniceball5919]

Thank you! Mine had dip switches, but I was unable to reconnect the remote - but this worked on my Harbor Breeze fan!

[@jashon1230]

i have a Harbor Breeze Beach Creek ceiling fan, I cannot pair The remote is paired to the fan, but the light stays on. I followed the instructions by turning the power on and holding the "0" button down for the recommended amount of time, but the light never dimmed.

[@sethxmurphy]

Thanks this worked for me. Now I gotta find a place to buy a replacement remote

[@baileyhaas7928]

Thank you!! I've looked everywhere for this answer

[@futurecoder3200]

Thanks Tim. This was spot on. I appreciate it!

[@BLBADVENTURES]

Thank you so much. This saved me so much time

[@maverickmyrtlebeach]

Had the same problem, that 30 sec. rule Need to try that tip.. also batteries that come with it are old.. 23A replace them first. thx Tim.

[@zoemeeks2800]

thank you!!!! this was so helpful. I ordered a new remote off of ebay because they have discontinued these

[@chrisschulze8081]

Lowe’s is still selling fans with these exact remotes

[@MadisonMcDonald-ol4vo]

Thank you! So simple and worked immediately.

[@meat167]

Thank you very much Tim , worked I had to turn off at breaker like you mentioned

[@WinstonSmith-q9d]

🫵 YOU DA MAN. Thank you, I was starting to go crazy. I have 3 of these fans and all of a sudden, 1 remote was working two fans, and the other remote did nothing. New batteries, and the same problem 😱 Switching remotes, swapping batteries, nothing worked. To ice the cake, everyone (the internet) as well as the knucklehead from Lowes said to change the dip switch settings. 🤷

[@guyrognlien6646]

I wish this worked for me. My fan is actually on and we lost the remote. When I turn breaker on the fan starts up automatically and remote won’t pair. Ughhh what to do?

[@VIRTU_Anchor]

I have a special problem in that I need to UNPAIR some fans. I have 2 of the same Harbor Breeze fans (same remote) in the same room. When I installed them, they were set to 2 different remotes. At first I didn't like that, but then I began to enjoy being able to control each fan/light separately. Anyways, the in-laws came over to my house and now both fans/lights operate with just 1 remote. I want to be able to unpair them back to separate remotes again. Any suggestions on that?

[@shaunscantland9377]

Dude!! You saved my night! I was about to destroy this fan!

[@JS-nu1nm]

Thank you! almost bought a new fan

[@recepozdag]

Thank you. This worked for us!

[@marielalopez1523]

Thank you so much!!!! YOU have been a big help!!

[@evanleesolice]

Amazing! Thought the remote was broken like 3 weeks after installing it! I re-paired it and it works perfectly

[@chelseeanderson9613]

wow!!! 100% fixed after watching this video! if i could give 500 likes I would ❤❤ super appreciated!!

[@christianc5161]

Gosh! You are a genius!!!!! You saved my day!!!

[@domeniccannarozzistaff4081]

I lost my Harbor Breeze remote and want to replace it. Where can I find this exact remote. Seems really difficult to find.

[@guyrognlien6646]

Call harbour breeze

[@davidsaucedo717]

I have a Hampton bay Mena (lost remote) . Will this work ? Where do I find one to f these?

[@lateriamiller]

Thank you much this method worked for me !!

[@DD8842]

Were can i get a generic control for this fan? It seem out if this world to need to install a device into the fan if its got a remote already built in

[@kyledouglass1709]

Worked perfectly! Much appreciated.

[@jesusnavarro9307]

I know it's an older video but do you know if I can put 2 remotes to 1 fan? Thanks for the help

[@johncross436]

you ever find out??

[@RahMug]

How to disconnect

[@kiawest905]

What model is remote that's the one I'm looking for

[@binal5542]

So helping thank you for sharing .

[@Mama3warrior]

It actually isn't working for me.

[@romesrepublic]

Try swapping out the batteries with fresher ones. Even if the red light on the remote lights up, the batteries might still be too old. Test it out by swapping the battery with a remote that is still working.

[@ecpasos]

Where do I get one of those? Can't find one anywhere.

[@butterfliesarefreetoflylas1913]

How do you reverse the ceiling fan?

[@chillma63]

Did not work for me. Turned off breaker but when I turned it back on, fan turned back on automatically.

[@cloneyedwards2681]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!

[@williamtate1455]

I did that and the high speed turns the light on with the fan and it also turns the light off and the fan

[@kevinramcharan9065]

Where did you buy another remote from

[@exvxrge]

i can’t find this remote, where do I find it

[@erikschwab1524]

This did not work for my harbor breeze with same remote. I have 3 of the same fans in 3 different rooms but only two remotes so I’m trying to take one from one room. This method didn’t work for me

[@flyfisherneil5201]

Same

[@chrisschulze8081]

Same

[@romesrepublic]

If this doesn't work, it might be the battery. Even if the remote lights up when pressing buttons, the battery might still be too old. Try swapping the battery out with a remote that is still working.

[@TheNo1nailgirl]

So my fan is stuck with the light on and on probably the next to the fast blade speed. I tried this and it did not work. The red light is staying on and steady but I guess I will buy new battery tomorrow?

[@JeffLawsonLegal]

Did you ever figure this out? I find myself in the same position.

[@BamXCotta]

​@@JeffLawsonLegalany luck yet?

[@chrisr3667]

Same thing here. Any luck yet?

[@MrBrad001988]

I have that remote. My landlord installed the fan so it has 2 on off switches on either side of the room for the light. It has 1 separate switch for just the fan. Could this make it so the remote will not work? I’ve tried shutting both fan and light off at same time and I tried the circuit box off on. It still will not pair. Any thoughts?

[@timkimzach]

With two switches I suspect the fan is always getting some power unless you shut it off at the breaker. I have four of these fans. There's nothing damaging or permanent in pairing.

[@KoreyMercier]

I have a different problem with this same remote and hoping maybe someone has an answer for me. When I replace the battery in the remote the LED is ALWAYS on, indicating that it's sending a continuous signal to the fan which overrides any button press (which all feel normal, nothing is "stuck") and burns out the battery. Any idea how to make it stop doing that?

[@TheDeal23]

I have the same problem. Can’t find anything on the interweb that can show how to solve the issue:

[@JohnnyDouchbag-nr5yf]

Worked perfectly thanks!

[@agierczak12]

Holding down 3, I was able to pair my remote with the fan.

[@terrialexander1534]

Your video title says Hampton Bay but you say Harbor Breeze. Which one is it and does it even matter?

[@degraypekingese]

This worked for me thank you.

[@CoopToons]

It worked!!! Thanks

[@macl6046]

My Harbor Breeze Mazon fan Model #MZ44BNK3LR was working great about 3 days ago. The light quit and then the fan stopped working. I reset the breaker and tried to reset the remote, but to no avail. The light still does not work and neither does the fan. Any suggestions? The fan is about 6 months old.

[@jwilk0490]

Did you figure it out?

[@BamXCotta]

Have you had any luck?

[@michellemartin3841]

Thank you for this video!

It worked! thank you very much!
