Thank you, I was struggling with it couldn’t figure it out and finally got it open thanks to your video. Now I just need to figure out how to get the light.
Thanks so much, I hope I would've found this before I broke my globe earlier today. But at least now I know what to do to change the bulb. I just got to buy another globe now.
I gently placed my head on the middle.of the dome and applied slight pressure while I pushed up and twisted left. It kept spinning and I needed to stabilize it.
We have the Harbor Breeze "Sail Stream" model (model #40048), which is a bit different, but similar. I've pushed as hard as I can without breaking it, and it WILL NOT COME OUT. Can't find ANYTHING on my particular model, and I need to change the bulb.
Great idea but my husband still could not make the dome budge. That is, until he thought about adding heat to the system. He hooked up an extension cord to our blow dryer and heated the rim outside the dome. Thirty seconds later, the dome easily moved with a slight pressure and twist. We now have a brightly lit room from a cost-saving LED bulb.
Damn, mines locked up tight...going to have to try the vice grip trick. Thanks. Update, had my wife hold the base as I turned the lens, boom!! Came right out👍🏻 thanks
Didn't work with mine, but I found out that all I had to do was loosen the three screws in the base that was holding the dome in and voila! It came off easily and I replaced the bulb, but the dome back on and tightened the three screws to keep the dome in place!
Bruh no-push up and turn left does not work, especially if the fan light has been sitting and unopened for years. I saw the same duct tape video and I’m going to have to try it bc this push up and left is NOT working
You're 100% Right ! Apply a little pressure to push it up and turn, and guess what it unlocked perfectly.. No need for that tape the dude was talking about...Keep it up great Tip !
That is the normal way to do it when is not stuck. I have done it this normal way about 3 time in 10 years, but then it got stuck and have not been able to do iunscrew it the normal way. So I’m now on tape idea
Why are these fans so complicated and not easy to replace, at least if you are a first timer with these. I wanted to replace the light bulb inside the dome and had a really tough time loosening the dome and followed these same instructions which looked fairly straightforward to me. But it was not easy, and then i gave up and sat on the bed... Wow and to my surprise fell right on the hard wooden portion of my bed and broke. Just gave me the feeling of been Newton (in a dumb way :) ) ... Does anyone know where exactly i can get a replacement of that part. I tried Amazon, Lowes and Home Depot but this fan is so ancient and stubborn that i couldn't find one. The fan itself works fine so i dont think i need to replace the whole fan itself. Thanks, in adv.
My fan and light don't work. Thanks to your idea I was able to get the lid off. The bulb fuse looks good. I wonder could the fan itself gone bad. My fan is more than 10 years old. Any ideas?
Thank you! We watched the other one first and I was like, “no, there’s an easier way”. Our light went out within the first month of moving into our brand new home. Called an electrician, and even when he was here we had to look it up on TH-cam. So watching that other video I remembered it wasn’t that complicated, just couldn’t remember what we did, lol. I seriously just started a new playlist called “Home Help” and you’re the first video so that I never have to look for this crap again. Such a shit design though. We didn’t choose the fans, and if we ever replace them (which technically he ordered an exact replacement from the company instead of getting a new bulb), but if WE replace them, I’m definitely going for something else!!! Nothing that simple should be that complicated. I’m low key irritated bc every light in my house is LED flat on my ceiling and the electrician said he gets so many calls to change them out bc they’re so difficult. Same with the fan, my laundry room light went out in the first month too. They immediately lost their appeal to me at that point!
@@mrapma If the fan has been in place for any length of time, the little grooves get full of junk so it doesn’t operate like brand new. You will need four hands an two ladders.
Great video unfortunately the one I was messing with was so tight/stuck we just decided to break it cause we were turning it with enough force that any more and it would break
Saw the same video you mentioned and tried his way without any success. A year later and abiding by the Coronavirus social distancing recommendation, I have a little time on my hand and was determined to fix it. Your video helped. Thank you so much.
That didn't work for me. The duck tape fix didn't either. I ended up using a rubber mallet and, ever so gently, tapped around the edge of the glass dome. This loosened it so I could twist the dome off.
1 year later - still helpful video. I have owned my place for over 3 years and every time the light blows it's a whole process. The last time it blew was a week ago. Couldn't get it to open on 3 different occasions - 3 different days until I was like fine - you tube it, again. I saw that same duct tape video - started the whole process was like this doesn't work. Your video came on right afterwards and you said the most important thing - Grasp The Concept - the cylinder piece simply cannot spin. It literally came off just as easily as in your video. Big help for certain.
My fixture has been in place for over 12 yrs. Your steps are correct. However, I am not getting the shade to twist. I am not sure if it settled there after all these yrs. I will keep trying. Any suggestions out there?
Method did not work for me. I got the cover off, but I had to actually get an adjustable wrench and hold the shaft of the rotating assembly near to ceiling. I'm surprised it worked, it was a last ditch effort. Fuck this design tho.
Can't believe I got outsmarted by a ceiling fan ight cover. I ended up unscrewing the whole fan & it's been disengaged for many months. Ended up taking it down before I discover the secret. Back in action. Now my issue is the remote does not sinc with the fan. This seems to be a regular thing. Thanks.
Simply twisting did not work for me. What did work was lightly tapping the edge of the light fixture with the rubber end of needle nose pliers as I was twisting the glass in a counter clockwise direction.
Javier. I did see the duct tape video first.. I thought too much handyman for me! Then I found you and BAM, off in 5 seconds. Don't let the rest of it turn, and apply a little upwards pressure! Thanks so much for taking the time to post.
Unfortunately Duc Tape man and myself and millions of others have domes that won't ungrip, no matter which way you push. So this is a video for a completely different topic. How to remove a ceiling fan dome. The other one is for a ceiling fan dome that won't release.
I think the man on the T rex video is an advertiser of his own product cause it’s all about T rex tape, not about changing or fixing nothing. Thanks a lot bro!
Some fans have little metal screws in that silver part. If you just unscrew them slightly it releases the dome. To put it back in is just the reverse. Start with one screw almost all the way screwed to get one side set in, then screw the rest in once the dome is on place

Javy Jav, my man, you saved the day. I was on my way for the TRex when I saw your video. Ooooh-Rah.
Just when I was about to give up, I found your video!! Thanks so much
I just followed what you did, Javier and it worked! Thanks, now I can change the bulb on my ceiling fan!
Thanks a bunch! I was ready to replace the entire fan because I was so aggravated!
You are the man! I’ve been struggling with this the past hour.
Glad i could help
Thank you! I, too, watched the duct tape video but your instructions worked immediately. Light has been out for months.
Thank you, I was struggling with it couldn’t figure it out and finally got it open thanks to your video. Now I just need to figure out how to get the light.
BRUH! Thank you! Worked like a charm. Funny how difficult it was to try and unscrew that glass part before watching this video.
You are a life saver. Never knew it was that easy. Thanks so much!!!
Thanks so much, I hope I would've found this before I broke my globe earlier today. But at least now I know what to do to change the bulb. I just got to buy another globe now.
OMG I LOVE YOU ❤️
I've been trying to get that dam globe off for 2 days.And I did exactly what you said and it came right off. Thank you so much.
didnt work the whole base just keep on spinning how do u get it to lock in place
I gently placed my head on the middle.of the dome and applied slight pressure while I pushed up and twisted left. It kept spinning and I needed to stabilize it.
What do I do if it won’t lock and the glass globe still doesn’t come off?
We have the Harbor Breeze "Sail Stream" model (model #40048), which is a bit different, but similar. I've pushed as hard as I can without breaking it, and it WILL NOT COME OUT. Can't find ANYTHING on my particular model, and I need to change the bulb.
You saved the day!!! I broke one before trying to get it done. Very helpful thank you!!

YO Bro.. You got down.. You helped me out BIG TIME.. I owe you ONE
Didn't work with mine, but I found out that all I had to do was loosen the three screws in the base that was holding the dome in and voila! It came off easily and I replaced the bulb, but the dome back on and tightened the three screws to keep the dome in place!
Thanks man, keeping it simple. It worked. Well done!
Yup that little push really helped otherwise I will be turning it for hours and yet it will be stuck...
Bruh no-push up and turn left does not work, especially if the fan light has been sitting and unopened for years. I saw the same duct tape video and I’m going to have to try it bc this push up and left is NOT working
Same here
How do you lock it in place so it doesn’t move
I have the same question. The darn thing keeps moving. Any fix ?
Great video...got the globe off...now how do i replace the bulb itself.
You're 100% Right ! Apply a little pressure to push it up and turn, and guess what it unlocked perfectly.. No need for that tape the dude was talking about...Keep it up great Tip !
Thank you - your video was helpful - and your technique worked!!!!!
Thank you, It was so easy to change my light bulb.
your welcome 🙏
That is the normal way to do it when is not stuck. I have done it this normal way about 3 time in 10 years, but then it got stuck and have not been able to do iunscrew it the normal way. So I’m now on tape idea

What kind of light bulb is used with this type of fan?
I also want to know
My fan and light don't work. Thanks to your idea I was able to get the lid off. The bulb fuse looks good. I wonder could the fan itself gone bad. My fan is more than 10 years old. Any ideas?
😮🤯🤔 glad I watched your video before I went out to get tape
Thank you! Your video was very helpful!!
Use a washing up glove to get grip on the dome while holding the actual fan . Came off easy.
Thank-you Thank-you Thank-you!!! Peace.
This is a great help. Do you have the information on the bulb needed? It doesn’t look standard.
This video made me crack da f*ck up. Thank you! 😂😂😂😂
Nice thanks for the video got like from me.

Hey Jav, how about how to remove the bulb?
I spun mine until the hole thing came out of the ceiling. Wires and all
You are 99% correct. Mine was tight the pipe started to unscrew. needed two more hands to hold the upper assembly.
Mine too. I will try that.

@@bobstratton6362 Thanlks, Bob!
Start video at 1:55 to skip all the bs
Great video unfortunately the one I was messing with was so tight/stuck we just decided to break it cause we were turning it with enough force that any more and it would break

Thank you very much! So easy after you explained… and I wasn’t doing all that tape mess, saw that first and then found your video! Thx!
That didn't work for me. The duck tape fix didn't either. I ended up using a rubber mallet and, ever so gently, tapped around the edge of the glass dome. This loosened it so I could twist the dome off.
Whenever I try to spin it, the whole fan moves, anyway to counteract this?
What model number is the fan you’re working with? I broke my dome. It fell and broke into a 100 pieces.
Thanks but how did you lock the ring so it won’t move
Did you ever figure it out? Mine is completely loose and I can’t use the fan

What kind of bulb does it take?
How do you tighten the fan blades on this fan
My fixture has been in place for over 12 yrs. Your steps are correct. However, I am not getting the shade to twist. I am not sure if it settled there after all these yrs. I will keep trying. Any suggestions out there?

You don’t even know how much this means to me! Been without light in the bedroom for months!!! Great video and great personality bro

But how do you lock it?.. I have went 3 years.. my patio fan… I get so frustrated every time I try… it horrible. It’s just me..
what kind of bulb is that?
Thank you so much
Maaaaaan lissssssen! Thank you!!
You gotta get to the point. Much faster. Everybody wants to be a movie star. It's a video about ceiling fans.
Thank you so much for this vid. It helped tremendously!
So how do I lock it into place? Whoever installed it didn't do it right because mine moves
Thank you so much, this helped 🤗
Yeah it’s not working for me I’m literally spinning the bulb getting nowhere and the gentle push up on it isn’t working at all
I accendetly pulled the whole dome part down. How you put it back on so I can use the strings
I've watched this twice ... How the heck does he "lock" the fan from spinning ?
this could be a 5 seconds video if you go straight to how to do it instead of spending 90% of your video explaining how not to do it.
I keep pushing but its nit moving. Then the whole thing keeps spinning when i try to turn. Am i not pushing hard enough?
Thanks for the video it helped me so much. Now I have the bottom dome frame rubbing with the fan making noise. Any idea how to fix it?
Did you figure it out
Dude all of a sudden you the smartest guy in the world, you saved me from the trex video thanks so much to you both tho...jeez
I used sandpaper and sanded the channel it slides on before reinstall. Seems to slide smoothly now.
Thank you..that was EZ..fuuuhhh...
Javy, hope mine works as easily. Great video except for the Yankee Hat!
Oh my goodness!!! So simple!!! Thank you kindly🤗
your welcome glad i could help ✊️🙏
You’re the GOAT! Thank you man!

Oh my god thank you ! I was going to have a meltdown trying to figure it out and I watched this and did it immediately!!! Thank you !!!
Thank you for sharing!
Good looking I pulled out my tool bag.great bro
Just saved me thank you bro!!
Didn't help at all. Globe won't move.
You saved the day. Thanks easy
Briiliant and easy. Thanks.

I just finish watching that same video 😂and then yours came up which I’m very grateful Javier w/the NY Yankees🧢🥳✌🏽
Thanks Javier, this is awesome!
