This is an awesome video - super helpful. I was stuck at step one, magnetic cover was not discussed in manual. Thanks a bunch...well done!
how does this not have more likes? seriously, I am glad I watched this prior to install, cuz I would have tried to screw the receiver thingy to the ceiling lol. I only wish all install videos were this damn good.
awwww, thanks!
Never thought I would be able to install a ceiling fan by myself, installed with no issues by following great instructions. THANK YOU!!!!
That's great to hear! Congrats!
Thank you so much!
You just saved us so much trouble and a bit of money as well!
Side note, the set screw for our downrod by the ball DID screw into the downrod and also a little note in the baggy it came with instructed us to remove the green wire ring from the ball and attach it with the set screw instead.
Glad to hear the video helped!
super helpful. Very detailed and easy to follow
That's great to hear! Keep it breezy!
This video is fantastic! Thank You for posting it
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

aww, thanks!
Very helpful thank you 👌🏼
Thank you this was so helpful!
You're welcome!
Great Video! Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I put in my ceiling fan today thanks to your help. Great video, you broke it down perfectly! 👍
Thank you. Watched your video before I turned mine on to double check myself….. (didn’t want to blow up the block)
Thank goodness i found someone who explained the remote controls. I just needed to know what the Comfort breeze was.
I couldn't find the manual online and the installation handyman threw away the instructions.
Glad to hear the video helped. The manual is available from the product page on the home depot website. Look for the "Additional Resources" section next to the product description.
Great video.
thanks!
Also wondering if anyone else struggled with screw on downrod to remove hanger ball. I had to have Home Depot loosen the screw on both fans that were purchased 😮😮. They weren't as easy to unscrew with the philliphead as shown...even Home Depot couldn't lossen. I was told there was a special tool they used so it would strip. Happy they could do it so I can finish this project 😄
I’m having that issue too, I returned the first one thinking a previous owner had damaged that screw but now I think I’ll go and have Home Depot loosen it as well 🫡 thank you
Thanks so much great video ❤❤❤
Thanks, and you're welcome!
Super helpful!
That's great to hear!
This video helped me tremendously! I was able to install my ceiling fan easily! Thank you
Thank you sir 😎
You're welcome! 👍
Thank you so much
You're welcome!
How do we reverse the fan direction?!
The fan is actually non reversible
Its been one year since I installed my 54" Fanelee smart ceiling fan. So far, very nice unit. However, both upper and lower covers are getting rust.
Really helpful video, thanks. Wondering how it works with a wall switch - can the fan/light be connected to a (regular on/off) wall switch and what happens when you turn on the wall switch(es) (assuming it works) - is there a default mode, or does it remember the last setting used? Thanks again.
We would not recommend using this fan with a wall switch. The remote receiver has a memory to remember the light color temperature settings and if connected to a wall switch, the light color temperature will be changed each time the switch is turned off/on. Also, the fan will not be able to communicate with the App or Google/Alexa devices if the wall switch is turned off. For optimal performance, this fan should be wired as directed in the video.
@@ceilingfans101 That's great advice, thanks. Do you'all have any experience with tall ceilings? I would be mounting this up around 15 ft. Guessing that's not a problem for remote/receiver. Oh, and any knowledge of a 72" extension connector cord??
@@disinterestedwisdom8090 the fan includes enough lead wire for use with a maximum downrod length of 48"
Does the comfort breeze function just cycles between the lower speeds? My Fanelee does not spins at high speed when in comfort breeze mode. It just cycles between, I would say, fan speed 1 and 2.
it should alternate randomly through all speeds.
When do they tell you to turn the power back on?
I am having trouble wiring.
I have one red and two white wire from house wire.
Do you have any idea which one to connect to green, white and black?
Sorry, we can't help with that issue without being there to test the wires. We would suggest contacting a licensed electrician to figure out which wire is the power wire and which is the neutral wire.
Amazing video. Question, is the ceiling bracket plastic or metal? It felt like a plastic to me when I unboxed mine.
I replaced my old fan with was on a two switch set up. One for the fan and one for the light. My new fan won't turn on no light or fan. I have a red wire do I need to wire the red wire with another wire or just leave it by itself?
In general, remote control fans are not compatible with a 2-switch setup. The only switch option for this fan would be a standard on/off switch. We would suggest not using the switches and just use the remote and connect the fan as instructed in the video and then just cap off the red ceiling wire.
I live in a brand new house in California where the wires coming from my house are
Copper
Black
White
Red
And I have a dimmable switch is the fan compatible with my house ? Also I changed out the light switch from dimmable to non dimmable to see if I can use this fan in my home I have already bought 3 of them for my home just haven’t hooked them up yet.
The only switch option would be a standard on/off toggle switch. In general, remote control fans should not be installed with any switch that regulates power like a dimmer or speed control switch. We are not licensed electricians, but if this were our installation, we would not use any switches and just wire the receiver directly to the house constant supply wire (black). That way the fan would always have power to be able to use the smart features.
Hi there! Thank you for this video! We bought these ceiling fans for our entire home. We forgot to program the frequencies so one control is turning on and off the rest of the fans upstairs 😅 I’m assuming that we wouldn’t have to take down the entire ceiling fan? And we can simply remove the canopy to program it? I appreciate in advance any response/responses.
Thanks for watching. Yes, that is correct, you can just remove the canopy to access the receiver to change the dip switches. Please make sure the power is turned off at the wall switch or beaker box before working on the fan.
Cool! I’m considering this fan. How’s its high speed performance? A lot of fans nowadays don’t move much air at high speed.
It moved plenty of air for us. The important thing is having the right fan for the right space. Some people install fans designed for large or great rooms into small areas not realizing that the fan's performance can be negatively impacted. The think that the larger the fan, the better, but installing a large fan in a small space actually produces less airflow because there is less air to circulate and the airflow actually fights itself.
Is there a video showing how we put this fan in reverse mode for winter time?
Not currently. To reverse the fan, slide the motor collar cover up the downrod. The reverse switch is located on the black switch housing under the motor collar. You can see the reverse switch at the 6:19 mark. It's on the left hand side of the cylindrical black switch housing. Obviously, the fan needs to be off before switching the position of the switch.
is the downrod optional?
I plan on buying this ceiling fan but don't think I would like the downrod - I believe I would like it flush.
The downrod is not optional. The fan must be installed with a downrod.
We got all the way to the 12:14 mark and the screws weren't long enough to reach the holes on the canopy top? We don't know how to fix this and we've tried.
The canopy and decorative bottom ring come pre-assembled on the mounting bracket to ensure that the screws are long enough. Make sure the alignment post of the mounting bracket (shown at the 3:56 mark) is coming through the hole in the bottom of the canopy and make sure that no wires are stopping the canopy from going all the way up. You may need to loosen the screws on the bottom of the mounting bracket some more to give a bit more length than when you removed the mounting bracket. Hope this helps!
Help. I bought the wall plate for the fan and it came with a receiver itself. We installed that receiver for the receiver that came with the fan. Now the remote and wall plate works but no wi-fi access. Can you have a wall plate and wi-fi control and the remote? All 3?
Thank you for the question. The receiver that is included with the fan is the piece needed for the smart connectivity. The fan can not be installed with more than one receiver and if the receiver is replaced, the smart features will be lost. We do not recommend any alternate controls for this fan due to the smart features and the color temperature changing light kit. The included remote is the only way to consistently cnotrol the light's color temperature.
Can you mount this fan without the ball and downrod assembly... I need it higher to the ceiling?
No, this fan must be installed with a downrod - there is not flush mount option for this fan.
Paul, also remember that anytime your blades are closer than 10 inches to the ceiling, you are killing the airflow and efficiency of the fan. Not only will there be struggles for airflow, the fan will be working against pressure, which will greatly shorten its lifespan. Learned that the hard way!
I have a led ceiling fan with wifi but after connecting I can't change the settings. The ceiling fan used to have separate wall switch to turn the fan function on and one for the light on the ceiling fan. Now after installing the new fan, the fan and light are working through one switch. IDK what to do
Do you have this fan, or just a different LED/Wifi fan? In general, if using Wifi, the fan will need to have a receiver installed and remote receivers can only be wired to one switch. If installed with a switch, the switch must be a standard on/off toggle switch. We don't recommend using a switch with this fan because if the switch is turned off, the fan will be disconnected from the home WiFi and the smart features like app or voice control won't be available.
my ceiling in only 8 feet tall. Can i install this ceiling fan without that extension rod? I need the distance to be shorter if not the ceiling will be to low
Please let me know if there is an alternative thanks
This fan does not have a flush mount option and can not be installed without a downrod. For an 8 ft ceiling, we would recommend a hugger style fan or a tri-mount fan (tri-mount fans include a flush-mount option).
How do you reverse the direction in which the blades rotate?
The manual reverse switch is located under the motor collar cover on the black switch housing on the top of the motor. You can see the switch at the 2:35 mark in the video and on the left side of the switch housing at the 6:20 mark.
I lost my QR code. how can I register this with the app?
Great video. My fan isn't turning on. I checked with a meter and there is power to the wires. The only thing is I have no ground. Any idea what's going on?
Couple of questions: Is the receiver wired to a wall switch? (if so, is it a standard on/off switch or a fan control switch). Did you double check that the wires from the house to the receiver are completely connected and the plug from the receiver to the fan is completely connected? (sometimes the wires may disconnect during the installation when the wires are moved around/tucked into the mounting bracket). We would also suggest making sure that the reverse switch is fully in one of the two positions - if it is not, the fan will not operate. The reverse switch is located under the motor collar cover on the top of the fan.
I'm having trouble on the part where you're supposed to screw the set screw back into the ball. It's not supposed to be in the downrod but the only threads I see take the screw into the downrod. I've tried every configuration of the rod to sit in the ball but I'm having no success. Any ideas?
Try turning the ball 180 degrees. The screw may thread into the downrod, but typically, just screws against the downrod and is held in place by tension.
We’re having the same issue - did you have any luck? There’s no threading in the mount ball
Great video but small mistake at 7:52 - According to the setup instructions from Hampton - The screw is a 'set screw' and must go into the hole at the top of the down rod.
Thanks for the comment. While the screw may thread into an optional extension downrod, the screw for this particular downrod does not and is more of a tension screw to hold the ball in place. If the screw ever comes out, the ball will still be held by the redundant safety bar that goes through the downrod.
My wall switch is dual. After connecting wires, I have a red wire left. Should it be connected to one of those groups of wires?
The only compatible switch option would be one standard on/off toggle switch. In general, a red wire is typically a switch wire and this remote receiver can only be connected to one power wire (typically a black house wire). We would suggest just capping off the house red wire.
@@ceilingfans101Thank you
Thanks for the video help me to much, but what about winter time?
The fan has a reversible motor. The re verse switch is located under the motor collar cover on the top of the fan.
I have an issue on my end, installed it but i am unable to turn both functionality at the same time.. how do i fix the issue?
We would suggest to double-check the wire connections and making sure that they are completely and correctly made. IF the issue persists, we would suggest calling Hampton Bay customer service at 1-855-434-2678. Their team is pretty good at troubleshooting over the phone.
I lost my barcode and never realized it’s in the box .. how do I setup now?
If you don't have the card, the QR code is also located on the receiver and in the battery compartment of the remote.
thanks for the video, help to much, but what about Winter time?
The fan has a reversible motor. The re verse switch is located under the motor collar cover on the top of the fan.
If my ceiling is only 8” high. Can you tell me how to mount it?
We wouldn't recommend this fan for use on an 8ft ceiling. In general, ceiling fans are required to have at least 7ft of clearance between the floor and blades. When installed, the blades would be lower than the required 7ft. For an 8ft ceiling, we would recommend a hugger style fan.
Eight inches? That's rough. You should rewatch Spinal Tap before installing this fan
It’s going counterclockwise and it’s summer how do I change the direction
To change the direction, slide the motor collar up the downrod. Once the otor collar is slid all the way up, you will be able to access the reverse switch. The reverse switch is located on the black switch housing on the top of the fan.
I'm guessing if there isn't a mounting bracket already in the ceiling, I need to get that first.
Correct. The fan requires there to be an outlet box that is clearly marked "acceptable for fan support"
What if I accidentally tossed the QR code before setting up Wi-Fi 🤦🏽♀️- how can I still set up the app?
No worries, the QR code is also located on the receiver and inside the battery compartment of the remote. If you can't find those, there is an option to set up the fan without the QR code. When adding a device in the app, you will see an option for setup with no QR code. Just follow the instructions in the app and you'll be good to go.
Does is have a wobble or run smooth and any speed?
When properly installed, it should run smoothly, ours did. It's very important to make sure the ball is seated properly in the mounting bracket and that the downrod is securely fastened.
I am having some wobbling as well. Any suggestions?
I followed your video , and installed it but it is wobbling, what could be the reason ?
A few reasons for wobble would be: 1. loose blades - make sure all blades are completely tightened. 2. Improperly seated ball in the mounting bracket - make sure ball is seated so that the slot of the ball is seated on the tab in the mounting bracket (see the 7:58 mark). Loose downrod / fan connection. - make sure the downrod is screwed into the motor collar completely and that the set screw is completely tightened. Another reason for wobble could be a loose outlet box.
Great video, thanks for sharing. Can we assamble this fan closer to the ceiling? According to the picture on the box yes, but I tried and was impossible. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks for watching. The fan can be installed with the included downrod or an extension downrod. The dimensions chart on the box states that the flush mount is N/A - meaning that it can not be installed flush mount.
@@ceilingfans101 Thanks for your help!!!!
What is the length from the Ceiling to the blades?
@@kjbrowne1966 15 inches
Is anyone having issues with the light not turning on instantly? I hit the switch and there is about 1-2 second delay before light turns on
If connected to a switch, there will be a slight delay from flipping the switch and the fan turning on. Think of it as a little mini computer in the fan rebooting because the power has been off. For immediate response, we suggest using the remote to control the fan and not using a switch. Using a switch will also disable any smart features while the switch is turned off.
How do you reverse the blades
The fan's direction is controlled via the manual reverse switch. The reverse switch is located under the motor collar cover on the top of the motor. You can see the reverse switch at the 5:59 mark in the video. It is on the left side of the black switch housing on the top of the fan.
it will not let me connect to work what do I do?
Check to make sure that your network is a 2.4 ghz network. The fan will not connect on a 5 Ghz network. If that doesn't resolve the issue, we would suggest calling the HubSpace team at 1-877-592-5233
Does this require a neutral cable?
Yes, the fan requires a hot, neutral, and ground wire.
@ceilingfans101 thank you, very much :)
I put fan at the ceiling but I saw red wire!!! I have Red White Black and Green wires. I already hooked up on Green to ground together. White to white wires. Black to black wires. I did followed your video. But Red wire to ??? How???? Heeeeeelp me please!! 🙏 🙏
For this particular fan, we would suggest just capping off the red house wire. Typically, the house red wire is a switch wire. If the red wire is connected to a standard on/off switch, you could connect the receiver's power wire to the red house wire. That would allow you to turn the fan and light on/off using the switch. Please note that if connected to a switch, the light's color temperature may change if the switch is turned off/on too quickly (within 4 seconds).
Great tutorial, the ceiling mount doesn’t flush with the ceiling though, everything is snug, and tight, and Ive still got about a 1/4 inch gap between the cover and ceiling. Great fan otherwise.
Correct, there is a gap between the ceiling and the canopy once installed to allow for room for the WiFi antenna to stick out and attach to the ceiling. If you are not using the WiFI features, and do not need the WiFi Antenna sticking out, you can remove the rubber foam pads from the mounting bracket which will allow the canopy to fit closer to the ceiling.
Hello I’m having trouble with the LED light everything seems to turn on but the light just continues to blink. Any advice?
We'd suggest making sure that all of the wire connections are completely plugged in/connected. Especially where the light connects to the fan. If that doesn't fix the issue, call Hampton Bay customer service. Their team is pretty good at troubleshoting.
What is the length from ceiling to fan blades?
12.5"
My blade screws are too small to thread
We would suggest calling Hampton Bay customer service at 1-855-434-2678 and asking them to send you replacement screws.
I cannot locate this fan anywhere...help
The fan won't be available for a while. Keep an eye out for it around mid to late April/beginning of May.
Just installed mine before I watched the video.
179$ at the Home Depot
If airflow is desired in the opposite direction, turn your fan off and wait for the blades to stop turning, then slide the reversing switch (located underneath the motor collar cover on the switch box on top of the motor housing) to the opposite position, and turn the fan on again. The fan blades will turn in the opposite direction and reverse airflow.
Warm weather - (Forward) A downward airflow creates a cooling effect. This allows you to set your air conditioner on a higher setting without affecting your comfort.
Cool weather - (Reverse) An upward airflow moves warm air off of the ceiling. This allows you to set your heating unit on a lower setting without affecting your comfort.
Power back on and the fan won't turn on
We'd suggest making sure that the wiring is still connected correctly and did no disconnect during the installation.
