We have one of these in Matte White installed in the master bedroom (since March '22). Other than a little wobble, nothing has went wrong as of today. These are one of my favorite modern fans.
All "How To" videos should be done this well. Really appreciate you taking the time to do it right. Just about to install our Windward IV and feel a lot more confident now. Thank you!
It did, the fan is up and works great! Thanks again!..... Had your video playing as we did the install. The only hiccup was forgetting to replace the canopy ring before wiring up the fan..... Needless to say, it wasn't worth taking the fan down to put it on. I did a flush mount install rather than doing the downrod where you had mentioned it there.
Five years to late but thanks for the install video. The instructions that came with the fan suck but after watching your video seems like an easy install.
Totally Professional! No nonsense instructions without talking about a bunch of other stuff that usually ends up confusing people. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving.
just wanna say thanks!! the installation was made so much easier due to your video!! i installed 7 ceiling fans through out my house and this one was by far the most complicated to install. thanks !
Great video - professional, step-by-step video with minimal, unrelated chatter. Even though the video used a different model ceiling fan than the one we were installing, we were able to consult with the manufacturer's installation instructions whenever there was a difference in the instructions. Just one note: It would have saved time if there was an optional, companion video with instructions for removing an existing ceiling fan (for those replacing their old fan).
There were a couple things different on my fan for some reason. For example my light houses was two pieces that went on separately. It seemed you had it all together.But I was able to follow using this video and get my fan up and running Thank you so much
thanks for watching! The sloped ceiling install would be the same. The only thing to note would be that the opening of the mounting bracket (where the ball/downrod goes in) needs to be facing the peak of the ceiling so that the ball doesn't slip down.
I found after hanging 5 of them it's easier to attach the blades and hook up the three wires from the receiver to the motor and then slip it up there in place and then hook up the hot and neutral wires. You may need someone hand it to you but it makes life much easier and you don't have to mess with wires in a small place.
To be fair... we live and breathe ceiling fans and have installed literally 100's of them. Ceiling fan installation is about 90% the same across the board. Installation is pretty easy once you've done it a couple of times. The main thing that worries people is the electricity aspect, which becomes a non-issue once the breaker is turned off.
Good video I just moved to an apartment and I have the same fans and I don't have control of my fan, my question is I can get control somewhere to buy it
I just installed the fan and Everything works well thank you for the video. I have two switches on my wall, one of them is for a dimmable light. Can I some how hook up the light only to the dimmable switch to turn the light off and on rather than using the remote. My light is currently hooked up to the non-dimmable switch. It turns on the fan and the light. If the light and the fan setting were on the on position previously than it will automatically run the fan or turn on the light. But if I had selected the light to be off on the remote, than I have to turn the light back on with the remote. I want to have the option to turn on the light with or without the remote. Thank you
My 52” Windward IV didn’t come with a blue wire, only black and white. Blue controls the fan via switch black controls the light via switch. So the red/black/white combo I have from the ceiling, does not match up and kills use of a switch (which I want a Lutron Diva fan control switch). This is how I have it working upstairs. I think they’ve changed the model a bit, and I’m frustrated and looking for a work around.
Great video. I have two of these fans under 20 ft apart. The remote for either fan controls both fan when they have power. Is there away to adjust the frequencies?
yes, the remote and receiver have dip switches to change the frequency to avoid this issue. Refer to the 16:20 mark of this video. If you have the newer version of this fan with LED bulbs, the process is the same. Since you have 2 of the same fans, you will need to change the dip switches in one remote and receiver.
This is great! Thanks for the detailed instructions. We just got this fan from a friend and, as such, it was already assembled using the downrod. Since we didn't receive the complete package, it looks like we are missing the rubber gasket for the close-to-ceiling mount... Do you know how important it is to have that gasket if we do a close-to-ceiling mount? Would we be fine without it? Thanks for your help!
Glad you liked the video. A far as the rubber gasket goes, it should be installed for the close-to-ceiling mount. The rubber gasket helps eliminate noise (rattling) that you will probably get if you install it without the gasket. A rubber gasket can be ordered by calling the Home Decorators Collection customer service at 1-800-986-3460.
Great video, I have the Hampton Bay version, need to change the light bulbs, any chance there is a different version for removing the glass bulb cover than screwing on/off? Mines not budging. Thanks in advance.
Thanks you for the question. There is no other version. The only way the glass is removed is by unscrewing. Sometimes the glass can lock up due to vibartion or being installed not quite aligned properly. If that is the case, there are a couple of tips to help remove it. 1) try lightly knocking around the edges (like knocking on a door) - that may loosen it up a bit. 2) use rubber gloves (like kitchen gloves) and hold the glass by the edges and push up slightly while unscrewing.
Did you get yours off. I literally can’t get it to budge even after beating the living crap out of it. Didn’t budge one tiny bit. I’m about to break the dang thing
Great video! Had to install one of these in an outdated electrical box where the 8/32 holes in the mud ring were too close together for the mounting bracket, I used one of those holes on one side and ran a self-tapping screw through mud ring into the box as it was too offset. Toggles wouldn't have fit as they weren't far enough to bypass the box entirely. Do you know of a better solution for that other than cutting the wall and putting in a new ring(or box too if needed, not sure about that one)?
Thanks for watching! I can noly suggest replacing the outlet box for proper installation. A self tapping screw may loosen over time which could lead to fan wobble or possibly falling. The best solution is to replace the outlet box and make sure it is secured to the joists in the ceiling. If the ceiling joists are near the outlet box hole, there are braces made specifically to allow you to attach it to the joists and then adjust the outlet box to the right position in the ceiling.
+How to install ceiling fans Understood, I completely agree, quite possibly the hackiest thing I've ever done but I was afraid that my boss would get back-charged if I cut the wall. He would've been okay with it though, most likely. Next time I will insist, Thanks!
Better to cut the ceiling and install properly than install incorrectly and open your boss up to a liability claim if that fan falls due to improper installation. Always insist on meeting safety guidelines/standards!
I have one installed in a home i moved into, but it's very close to the ceiling, cant take the cap off to change receiver codes, do you know how i can lower it without removing completely
If it is installed without the downrod, there is really only one option to access the reeciver. You would need to remove the 2 standard scres and then loosen the canopy screws in the J slots. Then you would twist the canopy/fan assembly to remove it from the mounting bracket. Then you can hang the fan assembly by the hook on the mounting brackeet. Basically, go to the 9 minute mark in the video, watch that section and do the reverse.
Also, another question on this. I took the downrod out for a close-to-ceiling mount but the ground wire is attached to the downrod? Where should we put the ground with the close-to-ceiling mount? I can't seem to find anything in the manual.
The mounting bracket should have a ground wire (green) as well. This can be seen at the 8:10 mark of the video. Just connect that green wire to the house ground wire.
Where did the ground wire coming out of the motor assembly come from? It doesn't exist when you put the gasket and the canopy on, but when you go to wire it up it suddenly exists. I ask because my fan (this model) has no ground wire except on the mounting bracket
If the fan is mounted flush, you will only have the ground wire from the mounting bracket. If installing with the downrod, there will be 2 ground wires - 1 from the mounting bracket and one from the downrod. There is not a ground wire from the motor itself.
I have a question. I installed my new Home Decorators ceiling fan with remote. I have power all the way down to the light sockets and have checked the receiver and remotes are on the same frequency, I've changed batteries....and still the fan nor the lights work. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
I had to buy a down rod but it doesn't go deep enough into the motor for the pin to line up. It seem secure because it is threaded really deep but needs just a little bit more to get it where the pin will go through. Will this be safe? Feels safe and i don't see how it will un twist it self loose.
This fan doesn't use a pin like older fans that have a pin that goes through the downrod and motor collar. As long as the downrod is completely threaded into the motor collar and the set screw is completely tightened, it should be fine. There is a locking tab on the motor collar that will pop into the hole at the bottom of the downrod if it ever loosens up to stop it from completely coming apart. Hope that helps!
Thanks. There is a switch in the battery compartment of the remote labeled "C/F" - just change the position of the switch and that will give you Celsius.
so if I have a red wire in junction box, as this was originally operated by a switch on wall. I'm now capping the red wire in junction box for non use? only by remote? can it be used by remote as well as connecting the red wire from junction box to one of these other wires to still make the switch also operative?
Disclaimer - **I'm not a licensed electrician and you should always consult with a licensed electrician if you have questions about wiring** that being said... For this fan, you can connect the receiver to either your house black power wire, or the red swtich wire. Connecting the red switch wire will allow you to turn the fan on/off using the wall switch. Whichever wire you don't use should be capped off in the junction box. If the switch is anything other than a standard on/off style toggle switch, you can not use that and the remote. Hope this helps.
I got the 72in Kensgrove LED and ever since we installed it it seem to have a mind its own. With the light switch off its still on and if we want it off we have to throw the breaker. We just installed a different fan that can with receiver that hided in the ceiling mount. But our did not come with one. Should every one come with one? or is that an "accessory"? I rechecking my wiring and taken it apart twice with no resolve. Any word of wisdom?
Hmmm. Let me start by saying *** I am not a licensed electrician and if you do not feel comfortable working around electricty, you should consult a professional*** ok, with that out of the way... That sounds weird. My first thought is that the fan is not wired to the wall switch - i would use a voltage tester to make sure the switch is actually cutting power to the fan. The voltage tester is an easy tool that you can pick up at Home Depot. This would et you see if there is power to the wires when the wall switch is off and on. If the wall switch is off, the fan should not continue to run, since it would not have power. My second thought would be to try and re-pair the remote with the fan. Often with DC motor fans, you have to pair the remote with the fan's built in receiver prior to using the fan. You should consult the manual for instructions on pairing (or calibrating) the remote. As far as the second question, most fans that have a remote come with a receiver as well. There are some fans that have the receiver built-in. If the manual doesn't show the receiver as an additional part, chance are that it is built-in. If none of this helps, you should call Home Decorators Collection customer service at 1-800-986-3460. good luck!
Alight. I will have to look into that. The fan prior (fan we had in prior to the install) would turn on and off by that switch but once we put the fan in and turned the breaker on the fan just goes on it's own and the remote does not seem be paired with the fan. The directions were very vague and didn't give much besides placing batteries and function of each button on the remote
I looked into it further and it seems like there are 2 different versions of the Kiensgrove fan. An indoor version and an outdoor version. If your fan included a long black remote, the pairing process would be the same as in the Breezemore installation video on this channel (fast forward to the 14:04 mark and the pairing instruction is covered). If your fan included a white remote with a circle button layout, the pairing process is different. if you have the white remote, start the process by turning the breaker off. Then, turn the breaker on and within 60 seconds, press and hold the "set" button (located in the battery compartment of the remote) for 5-7 full seconds. Once the fan is paired with the remote, the light should blink twice and the fan will start going in high speed for about 3 minutes and then reverse itself for another 3 minutes. once the fan stops, you should be able to control the fan/light with the remote. hope this helps!
We are sorry to hear that you are having that issue. The receiver will fit in the mounting bracket on an angled ceiling with a max angle of 20 degrees. If the angle is greater than 20 degrees, you will need a 45 degree canopy kit. That will allow the receiver to insert into the canopy for more extreme angles.
+Nick J. Glad the video helped you. As far as dimming the fan, the latest version of this fan includes an updated remote control that does have a dimming function. The remote as shown in this video does not have a dimming function. There are 2 workarounds for this - 1) order the latest remote control/receiver from Home Decorators Collection by calling their customer service, or 2) purchase an after market universal remote control that includes a dimming feature. Hope that helps. Also, please note that you will need to install dimmable bulbs. The CFL bulbs that are included with the fan are not dimmable.
After installation my fan remote seems to be mixed up. The light button is controlling my fan which only runs one speed and the fan button is controlling the light like a dimmer switch. Any suggestions?
It sounds like the wiring is mixed up, which would explain why the light button is controlling the fan speed and speed button is controlling the light. Make sure tha the fan's blue wire is connected to the blue wire from the receiver (labelled "for light") and that the fan's black wire is connected to the black wire (labelled "to Motor L" ) from the receiver. If the wiring is done correctly, and you are still having an issue, there may be an issue with the receiver. If the wiring is correct and you're still having the issue, i would suggest calling customer service at 1-800-986-3460. The Home Decorators Collection service team is pretty good at troubleshooting.
I switched the wiring (fan and light) which led to nothing working. so I am going to assume it is a faulty remote sensor . The remote works with my other identical fan so most likely the sensor is faulty. I bought the fan 2 years ago with the other two I own and just now installed it. So chock it up to old age.
Sounds like you may have a different fan. If you have black and white, the light is probably tied in with the black wire along with the motor speed. The ground wire should be attached to the downrod and one on the mounting bracket. If you let us know the name/model of the fan and where you purchased it, we may be able to help further.
the one I'm installing it seems like the screws are too short once I put the rubber gasket in between the shroud and the motor...they will not catch even when I stand on the screwdriver.
Hi Gary, I know there was a small batch of these fans that shipped with short screws. The problem was fixed by the manufacturer, but there were a few that made it the the shelves, and unfortunately, it sounds like you got one of those. You can call customer service at 1-855-HD-HAMPTON (1-855-434-2678) and one of the reps will send you the correct screws. The other option is to install it without the gasket, but that could lead to noise issues. In general, i have found the customer service reps at Hampton Bay to be very helpful.
I bought this fan off of karensbarn on ebay. They sell open box items. So, I got it delivered but it's missing the remote and receiver. If I install the fan, will it still work despite missing a receiver? Thank you!
No, the only way to operate the fan is by using the receiver or installing with a wall mounted speed control. You could just buy a universal remote and install the receiver included with the new remote. You could also call Home Decorators Collection customer service and order an exact replacement remote and receiver.
Ok so 5 videos later I can't find anything on this extra red copper house wire. No 1 talks about it, what does it go to? I did exactly what you showed me and my fans not working. Thinking cuz of red house wire
We would suggest either calling Home Decorators Collection customer service at 1-800-986-3460 or consulting with a licensed electrician. In general, the red wire is typically a wall switch wire. When connecting the receiver to the house wiring, you can either connect the receiver power wire to the house black wire OR the house red wire - never both. Again, we are not licensed electricians, so we would strongly suggest consulting with one to make sure the siring is connected correctly to avoid damaging the fan's receiver.
I had to replace my remote because of puppies. Can you explain how to program a new remote to this fan? It's the same type of remote just unsure how to synch. Thank you!
First of all, the remote has dip switches in the remote (inside the battery compartment) and on the receiver (located inside the fan's canopy). If the remote is an exact replacement, you just need to make sure that the dip switches are set the same in both the remote and the receiver. If you haven't replaced the receiver, you may need to do that. Sometimes, even though the remote appears to be the same, the receiver needs to be swapped out as remotes and receivers are dependent on one another and you previous receiver may operate on a different frequency. If those tips don't help, you should call customer service and they should be able to help you troubleshoot.
haa haaa. Just call me Super Ceiling Fan Guy! But then again, maybe not. I'll have to workshop a name, but I'm just glad it worked for you! Enjoy your fan!
The fan's direction is controlled by the reverse switch on the top of the motor. You can see it at the 18 minute mark of this video. To change the direction, make sure your fan is off and not moving. Then, switch the position of the reverse switch and turn your fan back on. It will go in the opposite direction.
The answer really depends on how "little" the kid is. In general, we would not recommend children installing any type of electrical items. We don't like to be dream crushers, and believe people can do anything they set their minds to, but for safety reasons we have to say "No, the fan should be installed by an adult". That being said, I think it could be a great family project and the "little kid" could certainly help.
There should be a green wire on the downrod and another one on the mounting bracket. If those are missing, you should call Home Decorators Collection customer service to reuest a replacement part. If you are talking about your house wiring, a typical house has a black, white, and bar copper wire coming out of the ceiling. The green wires from the fan should connect to the bare copper wire from the house. Hope this helps!
What if you have a Black & Red power wire? Is this because I have 2 switches in my bedroom to turn on the power? Can I connect these 3 wires all together?
Thanks for the Question. Let me start by saying *** I AM NOT A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH ONE OF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE WIRING *** That being said, typically the red wire would be a switch wire and the black would be a constant power wire. You should not connect all three. In most cases, you can connect the receiver's power wire to the red wire which would allow you to turn the fan and light on and off with the switch. If you wire the fan's receiver power wire to the black house wire, you should have constant power to the fan, but not be able to control with the switch. Again, if you're not sure, you should consult a licensed electrician. You can also get a voltage tester from Home Depot and test the wires with the switches off and on, that should let you know which one is a switch wire. Good luck!
The wiring instructions do not include what to do when you have 3 wires, white, black and red coming from the house junction box in addition to the green ground. My old fan ran from 2 wall switches; one for the fan and one controlled the light. So now I have and extra wire coming from the ceiling that I don't know what to do with....
Let me start by saying that I AM NOT A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN, but in most cases, the red wire is from a wall switch. You should be able to wire the fan's black wire to the red wire and have the wall switch turn the fan on or off. If it were my installation, I would simply cap the red wire with a wire nut and secure it with electrical tape. The other option may be to wire the fan's light wire (blue wire) directly to the red wire which should allow you to use the switch to control the light, but would omit the light control from the remote. If you have any concerns, I would suggest consulting a licensed electrician.
Thanks for the info. That's exactly what I ended up doing. I was reluctant to just cap a wire and leave it... Everything works fine. I just have a dead wall switch now. No problem. Thanks again
I also have two switches and I did your latter suggestion, wiring the red to blue to control the light from the wall switch. Works great! Another nice thing about this fan is it remembers its speed setting even when the power is off--so, besides using the remote, you can just turn it on/off from the wall switch and it goes back to the last speed. Your video was very helpful for installation, thanks!
To change the blades, you'll need to remove the light shade and the light kit. Once the light kit and light kit pan are removed, you will be able to access the blade screws to remove the blades.
This fan is an absolute bitch to install. The instructions are WORTHLESS. My instruction manual made no mention of the receiver or how to wire it. Thank you for the video! I give your video five stars and the fan itself zero stars... although I guess it's nice now that it's installed.
Thanks for watching the video and we're glad it helped. Maybe the manual was missing a page. The manual we had included a pretty detailed section on installing the receiver.
Make sure the fan is off and then change the position of the reverse switch. The reverse switch is located on top of the motor housing as shown at the 18:00 minute mark. Once the reverse switch position is changed the fan should start up in the opposite direction.
Looks great, and with a brighter bulb installed that’s all the light you need. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxWF88GpljEn-0o34vtLFazEQ5h5Q33SjU As far as ease of installation- this was my first ceiling fan and it took about 3 hours because I had no idea what I was doing and also it’s helpful to have a second set of hands and a magnetic drill bit. Works great.
We have one of these in Matte White installed in the master bedroom (since March '22). Other than a little wobble, nothing has went wrong as of today. These are one of my favorite modern fans.

Perfect guide for this fan
Thank you so much! Great help step by step 👍 :) couldn't have done it without you
+Michelle Vargas Glad that you found the video helpful! Enjoy the fan!!
Excellent! Very thorough. The only additional information I'd like to see is attaching to a sloped ceiling.
thanks for watching! The sloped ceiling install would be the same. The only thing to note would be that the opening of the mounting bracket (where the ball/downrod goes in) needs to be facing the peak of the ceiling so that the ball doesn't slip down.

thanks for watching!
I just installed the fan and Everything works well thank you for the video. I have two switches on my wall, one of them is for a dimmable light. Can I some how hook up the light only to the dimmable switch to turn the light off and on rather than using the remote. My light is currently hooked up to the non-dimmable switch.

Thank you
Are the lightbulb connectors also like that in USA 2021 instead of the more common Edison connector?
The latest version of the fan includes standard base (screw in) LED bulbs. The original had the Gu24 pin base CFL bulbs.
@@ceilingfans101 thanks!
Thanks! This video helped ALOT!
Thanks for watching! Glad the video helped! Enjoy your fan!!!
LMAOOO the intro was funny asf bro keep it up
Great instruction
Great video!!! Thanks!!
Thanks for watching!
beautiful instructional video!!!!!
thanks!
worked perfect, step by step. my only issue is I had a 2nd hot wire tied to a 2nd switch on wall. I just capped it off and didn't use it.
Great! Glad the video helped! Thanks for watching. Enjoy your new fan!
I have the same switch setup, but in my case I would like to use the independent switch, is there a work around for this?
My 52” Windward IV didn’t come with a blue wire, only black and white. Blue controls the fan via switch black controls the light via switch.
So the red/black/white combo I have from the ceiling, does not match up and kills use of a switch (which I want a Lutron Diva fan control switch). This is how I have it working upstairs.
I think they’ve changed the model a bit, and I’m frustrated and looking for a work around.
Great video
Man, great video. Perfect! Now I’m ready to do this. Thank you!
Very helpful video...thanks.
glad the video helped! Enjoy your fan!
Thank you, mate. It was real useful
Thanks for watching! We're glad you found it useful.
Video util 👍🏻
I love the intro!!! Keep it going :-)
the
Ps only complaint is when doing the wires change the camera view where we can actually see what your doing
Excelente explicación
¡Gracias!
Great video. I have two of these fans under 20 ft apart. The remote for either fan controls both fan when they have power. Is there away to adjust the frequencies?
yes, the remote and receiver have dip switches to change the frequency to avoid this issue. Refer to the 16:20 mark of this video. If you have the newer version of this fan with LED bulbs, the process is the same. Since you have 2 of the same fans, you will need to change the dip switches in one remote and receiver.
Double like! Thanks a ton for the video!!!
You're welcome!!
Great video thank you very much!
This helps a lot Thanks
Thanks for watching and we're glad it helped!
good instruction video for even a semi handi man
cheers ..happy new yr2018
thanks! Cheers!
This is great! Thanks for the detailed instructions. We just got this fan from a friend and, as such, it was already assembled using the downrod. Since we didn't receive the complete package, it looks like we are missing the rubber gasket for the close-to-ceiling mount... Do you know how important it is to have that gasket if we do a close-to-ceiling mount? Would we be fine without it?
Thanks for your help!
Glad you liked the video. A far as the rubber gasket goes, it should be installed for the close-to-ceiling mount. The rubber gasket helps eliminate noise (rattling) that you will probably get if you install it without the gasket. A rubber gasket can be ordered by calling the Home Decorators Collection customer service at 1-800-986-3460.
Awesome! Thanks for the reply.
Great video, I have the Hampton Bay version, need to change the light bulbs, any chance there is a different version for removing the glass bulb cover than screwing on/off? Mines not budging. Thanks in advance.
Thanks you for the question. There is no other version. The only way the glass is removed is by unscrewing. Sometimes the glass can lock up due to vibartion or being installed not quite aligned properly. If that is the case, there are a couple of tips to help remove it. 1) try lightly knocking around the edges (like knocking on a door) - that may loosen it up a bit. 2) use rubber gloves (like kitchen gloves) and hold the glass by the edges and push up slightly while unscrewing.
Did you get yours off. I literally can’t get it to budge even after beating the living crap out of it. Didn’t budge one tiny bit. I’m about to break the dang thing
@@samueltheodore1003 I could not either. Without prying and risking damage to the glass cover I just gave up.
Excelente
Great video! Had to install one of these in an outdated electrical box where the 8/32 holes in the mud ring were too close together for the mounting bracket, I used one of those holes on one side and ran a self-tapping screw through mud ring into the box as it was too offset. Toggles wouldn't have fit as they weren't far enough to bypass the box entirely. Do you know of a better solution for that other than cutting the wall and putting in a new ring(or box too if needed, not sure about that one)?
Thanks for watching! I can noly suggest replacing the outlet box for proper installation. A self tapping screw may loosen over time which could lead to fan wobble or possibly falling. The best solution is to replace the outlet box and make sure it is secured to the joists in the ceiling. If the ceiling joists are near the outlet box hole, there are braces made specifically to allow you to attach it to the joists and then adjust the outlet box to the right position in the ceiling.
+How to install ceiling fans Understood, I completely agree, quite possibly the hackiest thing I've ever done but I was afraid that my boss would get back-charged if I cut the wall. He would've been okay with it though, most likely. Next time I will insist, Thanks!
Better to cut the ceiling and install properly than install incorrectly and open your boss up to a liability claim if that fan falls due to improper installation. Always insist on meeting safety guidelines/standards!
I have one installed in a home i moved into, but it's very close to the ceiling, cant take the cap off to change receiver codes, do you know how i can lower it without removing completely
If it is installed without the downrod, there is really only one option to access the reeciver. You would need to remove the 2 standard scres and then loosen the canopy screws in the J slots. Then you would twist the canopy/fan assembly to remove it from the mounting bracket. Then you can hang the fan assembly by the hook on the mounting brackeet. Basically, go to the 9 minute mark in the video, watch that section and do the reverse.
@@ceilingfans101Okay thanks for the help
Thank you
Also, another question on this. I took the downrod out for a close-to-ceiling mount but the ground wire is attached to the downrod? Where should we put the ground with the close-to-ceiling mount? I can't seem to find anything in the manual.
The mounting bracket should have a ground wire (green) as well. This can be seen at the 8:10 mark of the video. Just connect that green wire to the house ground wire.
Ok thanks! Worked like a charm.
glad that worked out for you!
Where did the ground wire coming out of the motor assembly come from? It doesn't exist when you put the gasket and the canopy on, but when you go to wire it up it suddenly exists. I ask because my fan (this model) has no ground wire except on the mounting bracket
If the fan is mounted flush, you will only have the ground wire from the mounting bracket. If installing with the downrod, there will be 2 ground wires - 1 from the mounting bracket and one from the downrod. There is not a ground wire from the motor itself.
I have a question. I installed my new Home Decorators ceiling fan with remote. I have power all the way down to the light sockets and have checked the receiver and remotes are on the same frequency, I've changed batteries....and still the fan nor the lights work. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
Is the new fan the Windward IV, or a different fan?
Works
I had to buy a down rod but it doesn't go deep enough into the motor for the pin to line up. It seem secure because it is threaded really deep but needs just a little bit more to get it where the pin will go through. Will this be safe? Feels safe and i don't see how it will un twist it self loose.
This fan doesn't use a pin like older fans that have a pin that goes through the downrod and motor collar. As long as the downrod is completely threaded into the motor collar and the set screw is completely tightened, it should be fine. There is a locking tab on the motor collar that will pop into the hole at the bottom of the downrod if it ever loosens up to stop it from completely coming apart. Hope that helps!
Great video but how can I switch from F to Celsius? Thank you 🙏
Thanks. There is a switch in the battery compartment of the remote labeled "C/F" - just change the position of the switch and that will give you Celsius.
excellent instructions
+Peggy Jones thanks!
If I have the Bond Hub, will this fan work with it since it has a receiver built in?
Yes, this will work with the Bond hub.
thank you!!!
so if I have a red wire in junction box, as this was originally operated by a switch on wall. I'm now capping the red wire in junction box for non use? only by remote? can it be used by remote as well as connecting the red wire from junction box to one of these other wires to still make the switch also operative?
Disclaimer - **I'm not a licensed electrician and you should always consult with a licensed electrician if you have questions about wiring** that being said... For this fan, you can connect the receiver to either your house black power wire, or the red swtich wire. Connecting the red switch wire will allow you to turn the fan on/off using the wall switch. Whichever wire you don't use should be capped off in the junction box. If the switch is anything other than a standard on/off style toggle switch, you can not use that and the remote. Hope this helps.
I got the 72in Kensgrove LED and ever since we installed it it seem to have a mind its own. With the light switch off its still on and if we want it off we have to throw the breaker. We just installed a different fan that can with receiver that hided in the ceiling mount. But our did not come with one. Should every one come with one? or is that an "accessory"? I rechecking my wiring and taken it apart twice with no resolve. Any word of wisdom?
Hmmm. Let me start by saying *** I am not a licensed electrician and if you do not feel comfortable working around electricty, you should consult a professional*** ok, with that out of the way... That sounds weird. My first thought is that the fan is not wired to the wall switch - i would use a voltage tester to make sure the switch is actually cutting power to the fan. The voltage tester is an easy tool that you can pick up at Home Depot. This would et you see if there is power to the wires when the wall switch is off and on. If the wall switch is off, the fan should not continue to run, since it would not have power. My second thought would be to try and re-pair the remote with the fan. Often with DC motor fans, you have to pair the remote with the fan's built in receiver prior to using the fan. You should consult the manual for instructions on pairing (or calibrating) the remote. As far as the second question, most fans that have a remote come with a receiver as well. There are some fans that have the receiver built-in. If the manual doesn't show the receiver as an additional part, chance are that it is built-in. If none of this helps, you should call Home Decorators Collection customer service at 1-800-986-3460. good luck!
Alight. I will have to look into that. The fan prior (fan we had in prior to the install) would turn on and off by that switch but once we put the fan in and turned the breaker on the fan just goes on it's own and the remote does not seem be paired with the fan. The directions were very vague and didn't give much besides placing batteries and function of each button on the remote
I looked into it further and it seems like there are 2 different versions of the Kiensgrove fan. An indoor version and an outdoor version. If your fan included a long black remote, the pairing process would be the same as in the Breezemore installation video on this channel (fast forward to the 14:04 mark and the pairing instruction is covered). If your fan included a white remote with a circle button layout, the pairing process is different. if you have the white remote, start the process by turning the breaker off. Then, turn the breaker on and within 60 seconds, press and hold the "set" button (located in the battery compartment of the remote) for 5-7 full seconds. Once the fan is paired with the remote, the light should blink twice and the fan will start going in high speed for about 3 minutes and then reverse itself for another 3 minutes. once the fan stops, you should be able to control the fan/light with the remote. hope this helps!
I can't figure out how to hide the remote receiver in a slanted ceiling mount. It doesn't slide over the ball due to it being at an angle...
We are sorry to hear that you are having that issue. The receiver will fit in the mounting bracket on an angled ceiling with a max angle of 20 degrees. If the angle is greater than 20 degrees, you will need a 45 degree canopy kit. That will allow the receiver to insert into the canopy for more extreme angles.
Thanks
hi thanks so much you helped me a lot. is there a way to dim the lights? thank you
+Nick J. Glad the video helped you. As far as dimming the fan, the latest version of this fan includes an updated remote control that does have a dimming function. The remote as shown in this video does not have a dimming function. There are 2 workarounds for this - 1) order the latest remote control/receiver from Home Decorators Collection by calling their customer service, or 2) purchase an after market universal remote control that includes a dimming feature. Hope that helps. Also, please note that you will need to install dimmable bulbs. The CFL bulbs that are included with the fan are not dimmable.
+How to install ceiling fans thank you so much. I sure do appreciate your help and reply. I hope you have a great week ahead!
Gracias por su ayuda!
¡de nada!
How is the wind speed? Looking for something powerful.
This fan produces over 6,200 CFM. The air movement is really good.
After installation my fan remote seems to be mixed up. The light button is controlling my fan which only runs one speed and the fan button is controlling the light like a dimmer switch. Any suggestions?
It sounds like the wiring is mixed up, which would explain why the light button is controlling the fan speed and speed button is controlling the light. Make sure tha the fan's blue wire is connected to the blue wire from the receiver (labelled "for light") and that the fan's black wire is connected to the black wire (labelled "to Motor L" ) from the receiver. If the wiring is done correctly, and you are still having an issue, there may be an issue with the receiver. If the wiring is correct and you're still having the issue, i would suggest calling customer service at 1-800-986-3460. The Home Decorators Collection service team is pretty good at troubleshooting.
Thank you I will give it a shot.
Please let us know if it works out for you! Good luck!
I switched the wiring (fan and light) which led to nothing working. so I am going to assume it is a faulty remote sensor . The remote works with my other identical fan so most likely the sensor is faulty. I bought the fan 2 years ago with the other two I own and just now installed it. So chock it up to old age.
The fan i bought only has 2 wires black ans white, you seemed to have 3 wires?
Sounds like you may have a different fan. If you have black and white, the light is probably tied in with the black wire along with the motor speed. The ground wire should be attached to the downrod and one on the mounting bracket. If you let us know the name/model of the fan and where you purchased it, we may be able to help further.
the one I'm installing it seems like the screws are too short once I put the rubber gasket in between the shroud and the motor...they will not catch even when I stand on the screwdriver.
Hi Gary, I know there was a small batch of these fans that shipped with short screws. The problem was fixed by the manufacturer, but there were a few that made it the the shelves, and unfortunately, it sounds like you got one of those. You can call customer service at 1-855-HD-HAMPTON (1-855-434-2678) and one of the reps will send you the correct screws. The other option is to install it without the gasket, but that could lead to noise issues. In general, i have found the customer service reps at Hampton Bay to be very helpful.
I bought this fan off of karensbarn on ebay. They sell open box items. So, I got it delivered but it's missing the remote and receiver. If I install the fan, will it still work despite missing a receiver? Thank you!
No, the only way to operate the fan is by using the receiver or installing with a wall mounted speed control. You could just buy a universal remote and install the receiver included with the new remote. You could also call Home Decorators Collection customer service and order an exact replacement remote and receiver.
Ok so 5 videos later I can't find anything on this extra red copper house wire. No 1 talks about it, what does it go to? I did exactly what you showed me and my fans not working. Thinking cuz of red house wire
We would suggest either calling Home Decorators Collection customer service at 1-800-986-3460 or consulting with a licensed electrician. In general, the red wire is typically a wall switch wire. When connecting the receiver to the house wiring, you can either connect the receiver power wire to the house black wire OR the house red wire - never both. Again, we are not licensed electricians, so we would strongly suggest consulting with one to make sure the siring is connected correctly to avoid damaging the fan's receiver.
I had to replace my remote because of puppies. Can you explain how to program a new remote to this fan? It's the same type of remote just unsure how to synch. Thank you!
First of all, the remote has dip switches in the remote (inside the battery compartment) and on the receiver (located inside the fan's canopy). If the remote is an exact replacement, you just need to make sure that the dip switches are set the same in both the remote and the receiver. If you haven't replaced the receiver, you may need to do that. Sometimes, even though the remote appears to be the same, the receiver needs to be swapped out as remotes and receivers are dependent on one another and you previous receiver may operate on a different frequency. If those tips don't help, you should call customer service and they should be able to help you troubleshoot.
It worked!!!! You're my hero! I'm getting you a cape.
haa haaa. Just call me Super Ceiling Fan Guy! But then again, maybe not. I'll have to workshop a name, but I'm just glad it worked for you! Enjoy your fan!
Melissa Peda where did you get a replacement remote? I'm in need of one asap. thanks
Hi Mike,
you can order a replacement remote by calling Home Decorators Collection customer service at 1-800-986-3460
how do u change the rotation on this fan for summer and winter
The fan's direction is controlled by the reverse switch on the top of the motor. You can see it at the 18 minute mark of this video. To change the direction, make sure your fan is off and not moving. Then, switch the position of the reverse switch and turn your fan back on. It will go in the opposite direction.
Its at 18:00 of the video
Mines was installed correctly but remote isn't working and the battery is good
You forgot to add the canopy ring @6:28. That could trip somebody up.
Good catch. Thanks!
Is it possible for a little kid to install a ceiling fan?
The answer really depends on how "little" the kid is. In general, we would not recommend children installing any type of electrical items. We don't like to be dream crushers, and believe people can do anything they set their minds to, but for safety reasons we have to say "No, the fan should be installed by an adult". That being said, I think it could be a great family project and the "little kid" could certainly help.
What about if I haven't the green cable?
There should be a green wire on the downrod and another one on the mounting bracket. If those are missing, you should call Home Decorators Collection customer service to reuest a replacement part. If you are talking about your house wiring, a typical house has a black, white, and bar copper wire coming out of the ceiling. The green wires from the fan should connect to the bare copper wire from the house. Hope this helps!
What if you have a Black & Red power wire? Is this because I have 2 switches in my bedroom to turn on the power? Can I connect these 3 wires all together?
Thanks for the Question. Let me start by saying *** I AM NOT A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN AND YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH ONE OF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE WIRING *** That being said, typically the red wire would be a switch wire and the black would be a constant power wire. You should not connect all three. In most cases, you can connect the receiver's power wire to the red wire which would allow you to turn the fan and light on and off with the switch. If you wire the fan's receiver power wire to the black house wire, you should have constant power to the fan, but not be able to control with the switch. Again, if you're not sure, you should consult a licensed electrician. You can also get a voltage tester from Home Depot and test the wires with the switches off and on, that should let you know which one is a switch wire. Good luck!
The wiring instructions do not include what to do when you have 3 wires, white, black and red coming from the house junction box in addition to the green ground. My old fan ran from 2 wall switches; one for the fan and one controlled the light. So now I have and extra wire coming from the ceiling that I don't know what to do with....
Let me start by saying that I AM NOT A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN, but in most cases, the red wire is from a wall switch. You should be able to wire the fan's black wire to the red wire and have the wall switch turn the fan on or off. If it were my installation, I would simply cap the red wire with a wire nut and secure it with electrical tape. The other option may be to wire the fan's light wire (blue wire) directly to the red wire which should allow you to use the switch to control the light, but would omit the light control from the remote. If you have any concerns, I would suggest consulting a licensed electrician.
Thanks for the info. That's exactly what I ended up doing. I was reluctant to just cap a wire and leave it... Everything works fine. I just have a dead wall switch now. No problem. Thanks again
I also have two switches and I did your latter suggestion, wiring the red to blue to control the light from the wall switch. Works great! Another nice thing about this fan is it remembers its speed setting even when the power is off--so, besides using the remote, you can just turn it on/off from the wall switch and it goes back to the last speed. Your video was very helpful for installation, thanks!
Glad it helped! enjoy your fan!
You're welcome! Just glad to be able to help!
how do I change the blades?
To change the blades, you'll need to remove the light shade and the light kit. Once the light kit and light kit pan are removed, you will be able to access the blade screws to remove the blades.
gracias por tu ayuda..... 👍
This fan is an absolute bitch to install. The instructions are WORTHLESS. My instruction manual made no mention of the receiver or how to wire it. Thank you for the video! I give your video five stars and the fan itself zero stars... although I guess it's nice now that it's installed.
Thanks for watching the video and we're glad it helped. Maybe the manual was missing a page. The manual we had included a pretty detailed section on installing the receiver.
that into tho 😂
bro why do you put things together, just to take them apart and put them a different way
Can't get it to get in reverse....
Make sure the fan is off and then change the position of the reverse switch. The reverse switch is located on top of the motor housing as shown at the 18:00 minute mark. Once the reverse switch position is changed the fan should start up in the opposite direction.
Thanks for the video. The instructions on this thing were terrible.
Why is this not in order
Thanks for watching! It is in order except that there are 2 different mounting options are included.
New version has different wiring
Looks great, and with a brighter bulb installed that’s all the light you need. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxWF88GpljEn-0o34vtLFazEQ5h5Q33SjU As far as ease of installation- this was my first ceiling fan and it took about 3 hours because I had no idea what I was doing and also it’s helpful to have a second set of hands and a magnetic drill bit. Works great.
You should call Home Decorators Collection customer service. They will be able to send you any missing parts like a remote or receiver.
