the fan could be installed without the remote, but would take some minor altering of the wires to cut off the wire harness plug. Then you would have the separate wires to connect to a wall control. Black (fan speed power), blue (light power) and white (neutral).
The light kit uses two 60-watt equivalent bulbs. The bulbs can be repalced with brighter bulbs if needed. Each socket is rated for 60-watts each, so brighter, higher watt equivalent bulbs can be used as long as the bulbs are not bigger than the A19 shape. In general, ceiling fan lights should be used as a supplemental light source used in conjunction with other room lighting like lamps or recessed cans. We do not recommend using any ceiling fan light as the sole source of light in any room.
I know it's been 3 years since you uploaded this, But I still want to say Thank You! After watching your instructions my ceiling fan install was a "Breeze" . Thanks again
Double check the following: Make sure ball is seated properly in the mounting bracket. Make sure the set screw on the motor collar is completely tightened. Make sure the blade arms are properly installed and completely tightened. Make sure blades are properly installed. Loose parts can cause wobble. You'll also want to make sure the outlet box is securely tightened to the house support structure.
I’ve wired the fan so it’s operating with the remote. However light switch does not work anymore. I only have a single switch to control the light source, no switch for the fan blade. Please help!
In general, the only acceptable switch option for a remote control fan is one standard on/off toggle style switch. Remote receivers typically do not have a way to be connected to 2 switches. If you want to use separate switches to control the fan, you will need to wire the fan directly to the switches and not install the remote receiver.
I'm not sure what that number is and google didn't have any clear results for it. In general, if you need a remote, i would suggest contacting your fan's manufacturer.
So I also have a red house wire , since I have two switches on the wall (one for the fan and one for the light),, so my question is.... is it possible to operate the the fan and light independently with the two wall switches when you also have the remote connections set up? if yes , what do I connect the red house wire to?
Since the fan has a remote receiver, the recceiver can only be wired to one standard on/off switch. That would allow you to turn the fan and light on/off using the switch while retaining full control with the remote. There is no way to wire the remote receiver to 2 separate switches.
@@ceilingfans101, is there a way to wire up the fan without the receiver so the light & fan can be controlled independently via light switches? Remotes get lost pretty quickly in my house, so I'd like to hook it up to my light switches. Thanks.
@@petrocksgarage Yes, technically, the fan could be connected to switches. This would require you to cut the wire harness plug from the fan wires. Once the wire harness plug is cut off, you will have 3 separate wires: black (fan speed power), White (neutral), and blue (light power) to connect to the switches. Please note that any switch used for fan speed control must be a variable speed switch, not a dimmer style switch.
@@ceilingfans101, awesome! Thanks. I should be able to just de-pin/cut the blue wire and connect it to the red house wire and leave the black & white wires alone. That should get the behavior I want with the bonus of being able to change the fan speed from the remote (until we lose the remote). This assumes the receiver does not toggle the white (neutral) wire when changing the fan speed. I don't see why it would but stranger circuits have happened. If it does then I'd have to remove the receiver all together like you suggested. Thanks again!
We have a bunch of fans on the schedule but unfortunately, the Clarkston is not one of them. There is an instructional video for the Clarkston on homedepot.com The Clarkston is a hugger style fan and the installation would be similar to the Stoneridge or Holly Springs Low Profile fan (those videos are on our channel).
Thank you for posting! Mine didn't come with instructions and I thought I was in trouble. Your directions were spot on and now I'm "keeping it breezy. " lol
In general, if you have 2 switches, the remote receiver can only be connected to one of the switches.

We are not licensed electricians, and recommend contacting a licensed electrician to make sure wiring is done correctly if you are not sure about it. That being said, if you have double wiring in the ceiling, chances are that one of the wires is for a switch. If that is the case, you can cap the black wire off and connect the receiver to the switch wire instead. That would allow you to turn the fan and light on/off using the switch. Again, if you are not sure about the wiring and it differs from the manual, please contact an electrician to make sure no damage is done by incorrect wiring.
We'd suggest going back and making sure that a wire did not disconnect during the installation. Also, check that the dip switches in the remote and receiver are set to the same settings and make sure that the reverse switch is properly positioned (not stuck between settings). If those tips do not work, call Hampton Bay customer service. Their team is pretty good at troubleshooting.
@@ceilingfans101 Hey thanks for responding i had a wire disconnect I killed power from breaker unscrewed top of ceiling fan pulled wires out and readjusted all 3 wires left everything out turned switch back on and had power..Thanks for uploading video it was a tremendous amount of help with this being my 1st fan...I have 2 more that I have to install now same ones now it will not take me as long lol thanks again for the great content👍
Thank God for this video I was up in a client's house wiring this thing up and didn't know what to do 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you sir. This was kicking my butt, even with reading the instructions. Excellent video.
You're welcome! Happy it helped!
Thanks for this video! very helpful!
Thank you so much! The instructions that come with this fan are absolutely horrible. I wouldn't of been able to do it without this video. Thank you!
Thank you this helped out a lot... great job explaining!!
"Keep it breezy". Davie504 now has a rival catch phrase.
What a coincidence my family just got this fan
Very useful. Really detailed. First time installing a fan. Got it right.
Thanks for the help. Idk what it is about these written directions, but they get confusing real quick and i need a visual aid😂😂😂❤❤❤
Would you know if the fan can be used without a control??
the fan could be installed without the remote, but would take some minor altering of the wires to cut off the wire harness plug. Then you would have the separate wires to connect to a wall control. Black (fan speed power), blue (light power) and white (neutral).
Thank you very much. This helped a lot. Very simple to follow
Interested in this fan can anyone tell me if the light is bright enough..........

I did it!!! Omgggggg 😁 Thankkkk you!! Now how to change out light fixtures?
Can this be mounted flushed to ceiling without the downrod?
Sorry for the delayed reply. This fan does not include a flush mount option.
I would appreciate if you could do the Clarkson ceiling fan

Nice! Glad the video helped!
Is there a place to control the speeds, my ceiling fan seems not to go on high speed?
The fan speed is controlled by the remote. Is the fan connected to any wall control switches?
This was so helpful to me and my wife! Thank you!
You're welcome!
What if there is no ground wire from the house
you can just connect the green from the mounting bracket to the green from the downrod. Or, just not connect the green wires to anything.
I got stuck on the second step in the paper version - but your video made the installation a snap! Fan is quiet and runs smooth as silk.
What is you have two switches?? Can this work
In general, if you have 2 switches, the remote receiver can only be connected to one of the switches. If connecting to a switch, it would have to be a standard on/off type switch, not a speed control switch or a dimmer style switch.

i have double wiring how does this work

Thank you so much for the video! It was very helpful, more than the manual to be honest!
How fast does this fan spin?
on high speed, the fan rotates at 160 RPM
Wow
I guess it’s all right if it will run.
Great and easy to follow instructions. Well done.
thanks!
Walked me right through it. Step by step. Thank you.
You're welcome!
This video helped a lot!!
Great video. Thanks!!!
Thanks, glad to hear that!
Very Useful & great information 👍🏻
Thanks!
this is a matching code
Great instructions . Easy to fallow along.
That's great to hear, thanks!
In the next video could you please install the 44 inch wellston by Hampton bay
It won't be the next one, but we'll be doing the new Wellston II fan soon.
Ok!
Also what does the Hampton bay wellston ii look like anyways?
I have a black wire left what to do
Cap off the unused wire with an electric nut and electrical tape.
Hello I followed directions when done ceiling fan didn't come on is it something wrong
We'd suggest going back and making sure that a wire did not disconnect during the installation.
