    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.

    Thank you for the tutorial. I used your video for the assembly, and the hunter video for the wiring. I couldn’t find instructions for my exact setup, but I worked it out. It’s a dual switch, remote control receiver ceiling fan setup. The key for me was the additional red into the Blue-wire group.

      @thetyks 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      cstayfresh2 ahhh thank you for your comment. I was trying to figure out about the red wire coming out of ceiling for me too and he seemed to have red by itself but that didn’t work for me I found out red is connected w wall switch but I didn’t know where red wire goes w fan.

    I have just bought a Hunter Builder (#50570) with light. Installed it per the instructions. This one has a connector block for connecting the ceiling wires. This is where the instruction book fails. The "block" has 4 "connectors": 1 x Earth, 1 x neutral and 2 (TWO) live positions. Books says use top Live; bottom is for optional "light kit". I connected to top "L" and get fan running. So I changed to lower "L"... Now I get light only....... Nothing in the book about this.

    While I appreciate your video wish you would have shown the hardest part of connecting the wires to the other device, that would have been most helpful.

      @@Tendomcgoobin let me guess china Joe supporter and no trump was coherent and still dropped the ball.If it were that easy no need to watch a video that red wire was left alone but thats the switch that goes to wall it should go to blue wire to turn light on and off without remote, but he never showed that part or did it so its not that easy.

  • @Fm-ss4uj

    If you have a red wire connect to blue wire from fan and Remote switch that will turn light on with switch from wall without using Remote every time this video just showed tucking it in.

    can you tell how you open the fan remote battery door

  • @MTLTV-eu4nv
    @MTLTV-eu4nv 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you have a remote, you do not need a wall switch, especially one of that type. That type of wall switch is used for a fan with a light with pull chains in applications where it is impractical to use the pull chains.

    Hello :) my Hunter Arcot fan wobble so much on highest speed. I also have U-bracket like you. What do I do?

    • @how2togo
      @how2togo  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      They usually come with small weights you can put on the blades to counter balance. The issue is it's not straight. You should double check the blades are on correct and the unit is sitting in the u bracket correctly.

    Thank you for this video...I am trying to install a similar Hunter fan, but it does not have the transmitter. It has chain pulls for the light and for the fan. I have the white ceiling wire attached to the white fan wire, the black ceiling wire attached to the black fan wire and the two fan green ground wires attached to the copper ceiling ground wire. Which wire from the fan do I attach the red ceiling wire to?

    •  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think blue, that is for light, red wire on ceiling fan connect to blue one on fan

      Yes wiring is different depending on your ceiling setup. The best is to go by the wire diagram in the direction. Good to hear you got it working.

    i understand. Wire setup could be different and it's critical to follow the wiring diagram on the instructions. Some wiring is much easier but when there are dimmers involved etc. there are extra wires. Good luck with your project and thank you for the comment.

      Maybe loose connection or surges in the power going to the unit. Also, could be bad fan.

    id never put the power on before the blades are installed - i've heard of wall switch being turned on by mistake with only two blades installed and it getting seriously unbalanced is it cranks up to high speed - otherwise good video
