*Great unit that’s easy to install and use. It’s relatively quiet compared to window units and **Fastly.Cool** , and it cools down our whole living room, side room and bathroom; which is a large space for any unit to cool.*
My 70 lb dog thanks you so much for this. The beeping on our new Hunter Warrant fan was giving her serious anxiety. Just removed one of the contacts and all beeping ceased, while retaining full functionality. Cheers!
Thank you SO much for this video. Didn't check any reviews, just purchased the Channing fan based on the fan coloring. The sound it produces was INSANELY annoying. Called Hunter about the beeps and they told me there was nothing they could do.
This video saved my life, haha. THANK YOU!
You are amazing Sir! Not all heroes wear capes!
Thank you for this. My dog has serious issues with beeps (like some dogs do with thunder) and she would not even go into the room the fan was in. You have made hers and my life so much better!!!
I complained to Hunter about this as well because my older Basset refused to come in the room and would borderline panic due to it.
Mine too! She doesn't care about any other sound. But that beep has her no longer enjoying hanging out with us in the living room. I hope 'disabling' the beep will allow her to have this fear fade.
I wonder if hunter requires their engineers to be morons. I mean who manufactures a stylish , super quiet motor ceiling fan and then adds a moronic 78 decibel beep that emits every time you depress buttons on the remote.
As an engineer, I can tell you that wasn't Engineering - that was Sales... this is how it went:
S: Great design guys! But how will they know the remote is talking to the fan?
E: Well, a few LEDs in the remote might -
S: I've got it! We'll put a beeper in the unit that sounds like a smoke alarm! They can't miss it!!
E: But what about the qu -
S: *literally patting his own back* Hey great meeting everyone! Wish I could stay, but I've got dinner with a potential client at Olive Garden. Wish me luck!
E: But LEDs would be less expe -
S: Glad everybody's on the same page. Thanks for the input! By the way, could you get that redesign released by tomorrow at 8?
E: It's already 5:30 tho -
S: Glad to hear it, thanks. Gotta run, Ciao! *Bounces*
E: ...just... Why? *SMH"
There is another way to turn off the beeps without breaking the speaker there is this app called hunter simple connect and you can turn off the beeps by that phone app as well
@@GoneForGood22 That's actually not true for this specific fan, which I believe is a Home-Depot exclusive. The remote is not a "smart remote" and that feature isn't available. RealKillfly's awesome pro tip is really the only option if you bought this at Home Depot.
It also beeps when you flip the wall switch!
The person that thought of this beeping feature should be tied to a chair in a room with 20 of these fans and 20 kids with remotes pushing the buttons....
Would have been handy IF you gave a sample of what this beep is? I have been reading reviews (one said it wakes up the house!!!) and with all the complaining about the beeps I decided to come to TH-cam and here you are!! THANK YOU !!! Will get my electrician to disable it.
I've never been happier to void a warranty in my life.
You are not aware how hateful this beep is until you must suffer it. Thanks man. This is a life saver for me
You are a LEGEND sir. I can not believe the beep was a real thing... thought I had wired it wrong. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. It worked like a charm! That beeping would have driven me crazy. Why they thought they needed a noise when the light goes on and off is beyond me. You can see when the light goes on and off.
Thank you for saving us a return! This is a GREAT fan and super easy install...and you don't believe the beeping is actually as bad as people put in the comments until it's in your room (or your kid's room in my case). It's insane that this fan is still being sold with this beeping noise ON as default. Use this video while doing the installation to save yourself the time from doing it after you wonder "could the beeping really be that bad," because it is!
Make sure you use the right size flat head screwdriver to make the job even easier. My first attempt the screwdriver I was using was too small and it seemed more daunting of a task to loosen all the plastic clamps. But with the proper size bit, it's less than 5 minutes to a silent fan as it should be!
I cannot thank you enough. This was the second fan I installed in as many days because the first piece of shit I got from Home Despot didn’t work. When this one started beeping, I almost ripped it from the ceiling. You saved me a lot of drywall work.
Thank you!! very helpful! My husband installed the fan yesterday and the beeping sound was sooo annoying I thought he had connected something wrong :) But we fixed it! What took us the most time was to get the 3 small screws out, had to buy a screw extractor, other than that we had no problem. thanks again!
RealKillfly, you rock. We looked and looked for a fan for my office (from a cosmetic standpoint) and really liked this one. THANKFULLY I read the reviews and learned about the beep. Finding your video was a godsend! Fantastic! Way to pay it forward to the rest of us. I have two additions to help others in this situation: 1) those tabs are harder to press than I would have thought. It required me to have to "pull" the enclosed structure up a little above the metal encasement. A little hard when you're juggling a screwdriver too - be patient folks. His description was spot on for where the tabs are. 2) after I popped the little metal tab off of the speaker, the blasted thing kept bouncing back up against the speaker. So I stuck a little electrical tape in between the metal wire and the speaker just to keep it from bouncing back. 3) When you're re-assembling the thingie, don't forget to pull the white connector cable up through the ring BEFORE you screw the top back into place. Not the end of the world if you forget but I'm a moron, I did. I had to fish it out (or take the top off again. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. We LOVE the fan - but it's like the people at Hunter never thought about "real people" using this in their homes. I mean, c'mon Hunter. Fix this. And take the product off the shelves until you do. Anyhow. Did I say thanks for this video yet? :-) YOU ROCK.
Omg! Ty so much! We just did three ceiling fans with remotes none of them beep, therefore I didn’t think that that even existed as far as a ceiling fan beeping. So we bought another two fans, different brands than our others, warehouse of Tiffany brand and they both beep…… and they were not cheap, I’m thinking what is this noise and that they’re broken….. Like why do you need a ceiling fan to tell you you turn the light on or off? I mean you clearly know you turn it on or off because you don’t see the light on or you don’t see the fan moving…. But this will be what hubby and I will be doing tonight!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
You’re my hero! Thank you! By the way, you also get that evil beep when you use a wall switch. So stupid.
Okay. I just did the fix. Worked perfectly! You, sir, have done a public service! I did have trouble undoing the first three tabs of the plastic protector, but after that it was a lot easier. I was real careful and was able to remove it without breaking any tabs.
YOU ARE A TOTAL ROCK STAR! This was certainly a dumb feature and didn't make sense. You have made many people happy. THANKS FOR POSTING THIS!
Weekend project. Got 5 of them to do lol. Thanks buddy!
Just saved me from throwing this thing out the window. Job is done. Thank you sir
Sweet ! No more warranty for you !!!
Thank you!!!! We installed one of these today and then all of a sudden I wanted to rip it out of the ceiling. Nowhere on the box does it tell you of that horrible noise!!! Now I don’t have to take it (and another one I bought) back to the store.
This video deserves more likes! Thank you!!! How idiotic to have a beeping sound! We installed it in our bedroom... where we sleep....... and don’t want beeps because we adjust the fan up or down.
Well bad news: I had obviously put the whole fan together before realizing it beeped. I can't get the light fixture portion undone anymore. I might need to have two people in order to remove it. My wife will just have to hate me if I decide to adjust the fan in the middle of the night.
Thank you so much. Just put this fan in my son's nursery and immediately thought that noise would wake him.
THANK YOU!!!! Worked perfect. No more crazy beeping. Not real happy that fan nor light does not work on a 3 step dimmer. You have to use the remote.
Worked on two fans, one of which I had completely installed before learning about the beep. Both work perfectly with no beep. Thank you very much!
How did you prevent stripping the screws ? I've tried every Phillips head in my box and they won't turn without wanting to strip
Bless your soul! The wife was going to throw that thing through the wall! Only took me 10 minutes to fix it! 10/10 recommend fixing this fan by breaking the speaker
I used your fix. Thank you for saving my sanity.
Thank you so much for this video! Sanity saved! 👍👍
Thank you! Super easy fix for an annoying problem. Chirping is gone and took less than 10 minutes.
Thank you for the video. I was about to crack it open but found your while I was in the “library”.. your information saved me a lot of time!
Thank you for sharing this. Seriously, I think I would have gone crazy.
Thank you! I am so mad at Hunter for adding those beeps. WTF?? Scares the heck out of my dog.
I bought one of these today, the manual does show an option to enable and disable beep by holding the light and up arrow and light and down arrow. Reason I checked was because the interior unit is not the same and isn't openable, but you can disable it on newer ones then.
Sir RealKillfly, in the parlance of our times, u da man!!! One note about the light fixture housing: it has 3 screws that are on very tight. They're so tight that I ended up easily stripping 2 of them and had to use an Easy Out Screw Extractor to get them off. I got the 3rd screw out by setting my drill to the highest torque setting and pushing the drill head in firmly before I squeezed the trigger.
This is good advice about those screws. As I recall I had the same problem, weak, soft metal screws in plastic housings are hard to get out without stripping. Just have to be careful and persistent. I would recommend a manual screwdriver instead of a screw gun. But glad to see you got it to work!
I owe you a drink! Saved me and my dog many a headache!
Worked like a charm! Brunswick model 54178
Nice tearing mine apart now!!
DOWNLOAD THE HUNTER APP TO DISABLE THE BEEPING, it’s the app with the “hunter” logo not the 5 blades. There’s 2 apps. Then once connected, click the “i” at the corner of the hunter fan button, then click features, then you should be able to enable and disable audio!!!
This is not a “smart fan.” Downloading the Hunter app will do nothing for this fan.
D. Collins oh is it the specific model? Because a lot of the hunter fans are smart fans...
Thank you sir for posting this. You are officially my hero!
Thank you for making this video!! Just installed the fan and was disappointed that it was beeping! Not any more thanks to this video.
We have multiple other fans with remotes and none beep and I couldn’t care less to know if it “received” the input. Why Hunter?! why?!
Thank you so much for your video. We are also now beep-free !
This man is a legend!
The Casablanca Isotope fan also emits chirps when changing fan speed or light level on the wall remote. After I got the fan installed yesterday the first comment from my wife was not 'Oh that looks and works great!' It was instead 'Oh it beeps when you turn it on. That's really annoying.' The remote receiver in the Isotope fan looks similar to the one in the Channing that you defused. Unfortunately in the Isotope the receiver is in the fan cowling so I would have to have almost completely undo the fan installation to get to the receiver. What an ill-thought engineering choice to have this sound effect. I have other Hunter and Casablanca fans in the house and none of them emit annoying sounds - at most a click. Anyway thanks for taking the time to post this fix. I really can't bring myself to do an uninstall to fix this. Not yet. But at least now I have some direction if the continued chirps get unbearable.
The instruction card that came with the remote tells you how to enable or disable beep. Long Press the lightbulb icon AND the down arrow will disable the beep. (If you want it back, Long press lightbulb icon AND the UP arrow. This Enables the Beep.). I took a picture of the instructions for when they get lost! Lots you can do with just those 3 buttons.
Maybe this is only on newer models? When did you buy yours? I still have my instruction card and there's noting about muting the beep. Maybe they say this video and made changes!
@@RealKillfly We just bought it earlier this week. Wish I could add a picture of the card that came with the remote. It's the 54 inch model. The 52" model also called Channing did NOT have this feature.
Thanks! I just did a similar thing to my Casablanca (owned by Hunter) Valby fan and now it’s perfectly silent, as it should have been originally (or designed with an easy way to disable the annoying beeps).
I found this video after searching because I couldn't remember how to toggle the feedback on and off. I never expected to find a warranty voiding method. After a bit more Google-fu, I found the answer; press and hold the light button and the fan speed up button for about 3-seconds. This will toggle the audible feedback on or off, in my case I wanted it on.
a before and after would have made this video so much better
You are my HERO! Thank you!
What idiot thought to add a beep to a ceiling fan with no way to disable it? I hate Hunter but love you. Well done sir, well done
Worked like a charm, then I found a small card in the bag that said “to disable audio feedback download the app...” - whatever, I found a more permanent solution!
Some other people have mentioned the app, I tried to find it but I think it either did not work with my model, or something else prevented me from getting that to work. But I agree, I will never, ever want to turn the beeps on again, and I don't need a "Hunter Fan App" installed on my phone sending me advertisements. I would not be surprised if the requirement to have the app to disable the beeps was a marketing decision to get people to install the app...
Can't wait to try it. THANK YOU!!!!
I have three of these things, no it is so quiet thank you so much!!!!!!!!
If you hold the light button and the down arrow together on the remote it disables the beep
Didn't know this. Worth a shot before doing surgery!
OH MY GOODNESS! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Literally the WORST design ever. What a horrible surprise. They need to label on the box that this beeps & it cannot be disabled by design. Thanks for this livability hack!
Comments like this make me glad I made the decision to record this video on my phone of how to fix these! 30 minutes of my time has resulted in so many people being able to fix their beeping fans!
Thank you so much I would have gone insane because the beeps would hurt my head and keep me up
Thank you so much. That beeping was driving me crazy. Why would they put that in a fan?
Thanks for helping out!!
Hello RealKillfly. Thanks for the tutorial on how to silence the beeping on a Hunter Channing fan. Would you be able to tell me how to remove the exterior retaining ring from the housing on the light kit?
Who is the idiot at Hunter who thought it would be a good idea to add a loud beep to a “silent” ceiling fan.
Hey I just found out that if you use the app you can turn off the sound. Less work and it actually works!
I never heard of the app before. That does sound like a much easier way to turn off that speaker! What is the app called?
RealKillfly it’s called Simpleconnect. I found it by searching “Hunter fan”. After adding the fans to the app and connecting to your home WiFi go to the fan / settings / switch off “audio feedback” and enjoy silent fan operation 🤓👍🏻
@@VanceHeard Huh cool I'll check it out. Can you control the dimmer as well? Because I don't like how that works from the remote either.
@@RealKillfly You can restrict the ability to dim which I thought was interesting. I dont see a way to change the light output though which is odd. I don't use the light kit myself. You can change fan direction, set timers and schedules in there as well.
The app refused to work for me
Any advise on turning off the fan and light separately.
Dude.. thank you...
One less beeping fan in the world!
Beep can be enabled and disabled with the remote....c'mon folks
I think the app is only available for wi-fi-enabled editions of the fan? This is an old video so maybe things have changed, but I know my fan that I bought there was no app available. But, if newer fans do have an app that allows disabling the speaker then definitely do that instead of performing surgery on the internals! (unless you don't care about or want the the app - in that case just remove the wire lol)
Yeah, those screws around the edge aren't coming out unless you drill them out
Do you have to disconnect both sides to the speaker or just one side?
Just one side as I recall. You need to break the circuit to the speaker.
@@RealKillfly Thanks! Installed it today and your tip worked great!
@@Turtlesixfour Yes! One less beeping fan in the world!
Thanks!
Or download the app and turn it off in the settings
So is there a stylish, quiet brand of ceiling fan that is guaranteed not to have a beep? This is ridiculous!!! Haha.
Poor camera work
lmao - camera work was definitely poor
The end of the socialist fan!
Seriously who thought it was OK to have those horrible fucking sounds. Thank God you can disable it. Thanks for the video. How about the damn battery lol
