- Step by step instructions for assembling and installing a ceiling fan with light kit.
In this video I remove and old ceiling fan and replace it with a new Hampton Bay ceiling fan with light kit Model 736 372. Video also covers assembly of the new fan and light kit.
This is a link to the how to wire it website if you need help wiring your ceiling fan: www.how-to-wire...
FIRST TIME EVER HOOKING UP A FAN. AND UR VIDEO WAS 100% ON POINT. U WENT THROUGH EVERYTHING SLOW UNDERSTANDING ECT. THANKS DUDE!!!!!!!!
I have looked at quite a few videos on this subject, & I like the way you explained the entire process.
No fooling around trying to be funny. Great Job. Thanks again.
Thanks Skip, I appreciate the feedback.
My husband and I watched your video and it was very helpful.
Thank you!
Thank you thank you thank you for posting. I have been bugging my husband for two years to install this fan that has been in the box, brand new, in the garage. My 17 year old son and I installed it today, without his help. Just by watching this video, and trying to make sense of the enclosed directions.
Thanks Vicky and congratulations to you and your son.

Wow.. I literally just bought that exact model at HD. I will be using this video as a guide. Great job. Wish me luck as this will be my first attempt at replacing an older fan with a new one.
Good luck and report back on how the installation goes for you.
I would give this video a 5 star plus , it just make things a whole lot better to live with , thanks a bunch
Thanks Lionel for the feedback.
Bla fuck you suit on your grave
Lol don't delete I was angry
Thank you. I reinstalled my fixture with no problem, thanks to you. God Bless!!!
Thanks Derrian.
thanks for the video. I think I will be able to have confidence in trying to replace our old fan/light now.
Yes. The instructions I got with my fan said outlet box must support at least 35 lbs and it also showed optional wiring diagrams for fan and lights.
You did incredible job I enjoyed watching
Thank you for the quick response. It sounds like its coming from the motor. I appreciate your help.
Thank you ........... I needed help with the three wires coming out of the box and how they connected to the fan.
A great instructional video, thank you. You could start a tech school, and your students will score top marks.
Thank you. I couldn't have done it without your help!
thanks
u made this real easy
and I don't mess with Electricity on or off.
very helpful.😁👌
Good question. If the squeak is in the shaft where it enters the motor assembly, I'm thinking there would probably be pre-sealed bearings here that would be almost impossible to stop from squeaking. If the squeak is somewhere else on the fan like the mounting bracket you might be able to isolate a stop the squeak. Tricky part is to find WHERE the fan is making the squeak.
I'm replacing the exact same fan. Thanks for the video.
I can't say for sure, but I see it all the time. I had that experience in my own home, in a room with separate switches for the fan and light, which means they planned for a fan, but had a aplastic box nailed to the side of the joist. Best to remove it and put in a brace, because if the new fan has more weight OR torque than the old one, you may get an unpleasant surprise in about 4-5 years. The content of your video is very well done, though.
Thanks....you made my day much easier
Thanks so much. By chance, my new fan is the same make & model as yours. Great help!
Thanks Tony for watching.
What is it called?
Thanks for the feedback.
I'm a fan of this video.
On my application there was 2 switches to control the fan. Black wire from one switch controls the fan and the red wire from the other switch controls the lights. I connected red wire from outlet box to blue wire on light kit.
Thanks for posting this. It was very helpful
Thanks for watching.
Thanks Martha for watching.
Thx for the great instructional video!
Thank you very much for the video whichis very useful.
Very helpful and exactly the sort of video I was looking for to help me out. Our model is different so some things were necessarily different (our blades click onto the fan, for instance) but you showed the wiring, which was what we needed. Thanks!
Thanks Angel. What company made the fan and light kit you installed?
iScaper1 It's a Hampton Bay, model #41350.
Thanks for commenting.
Very helpful video and narration. My wife and I are closing on a new construction next week and it has 5 pre-wired hookups for fans w/ lights, but it is up to me to install them all. I am certain this video will help.
Any advice in terms of efficiency? I was going to ask my wife to assemble all of the fan blade assemblies while I tackle the motor mountings. This should help save some time yes?
Yes, if your wife is helping with assembly that will speed things up on the installations.
Thanks Jamie.
thanks man for taking the time !
Thanks for the video... do you happen to have a video on replacing the fan speed capacitor (switch cup) for this fan?
Pretty sure the fan I removed was installed by a licensed electrical contractor when the house was built. Why do you suppose he used a plastic box?
Useful information. Thanks!
+Howard Raimondo
Thanks Howard for watching.
Thanks.
There should be a wiring diagram in your instructions. Normally the Black Wire is the Hot, the White wire is the Neutral, the bare Copper wire is a Ground. The Blue wire on the fan is usually for the light kit. The Green wire from the fan is a ground. I'm thinking white to white, blue & black from fan to black from outlet box, bare copper & green wires are grounds. I'll put a link in the video description that will take you to the how to wire it website which should be helpful.
Good video. I noticed, however, that you must have had the same issue I had with regard to connecting the wires. The fan comes with three wire nuts, and you needed an extra one (the yellow one) to connect an additional wire. Not knowing much about wiring, and thinking it came with all the needed parts, I thought that I was supposed to use the white & red wires together in the same nut, but it obviously needed different connectors, because when I went to turn on the fan, it tripped the breaker.
On my installation I had a wall switch for the the lights and a switch for the fan so I connected the black wire in the outlet box to run the fan and the red wire to run the lights. Normally the white wire is the common, that may be why you tripped the breaker.
@@Iscaper The lights look dim. Also why are they candelabra bulb which is what i used to call candle lights.
Lifting the air upward cools the ceiling panels and stops the infra red
heat from overpowering the air conditioning. The other reason to lift
upward has to do with freshness and airborne poisons, which are
dissipated instead of concentrated. Six percent saving on heating by
lifting, but TWENTY SIX percent savings from lifting while cooling. The
gains in freshness remain year-round.
All the circulaters should lift. One fan can un-do three, and this
includes other rooms and even other floors in the same building!
Scaper, I have a 2 yr old ceiling fan similiar to the new one in your video and mine recently started to squeak. So you have any suggestions on how to fix it? It was fairly expensive $350 without lights.Thank you for your help.
Thanks! very helpful
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback.
Not sure if it was an Econ model. I didn't look when I removed the old fan.
Btw, one of our Colorado friends has a ceiling fan just like the one at the end of this video, but in Brushed Nickel and it makes tapping noises.
Another great video.
Do these fan blades require balancing weights? One I bought a few years ago did.
The fan does come with a balancing kit but only necessary if you notice wobble in any of the fan blades.
i love ceiling fans. they remind me of them diners i saw in the usa.
Just one question, can you make a video about how to fix a ceiling fan if it falls off the ceiling, because that is in fact what has happened to mine!!
If our ceiling fan happens to fall from the ceiling I'll make a video.
Trevor Brendan-Simon
Sounds like a good name to me.
iScaper1
In my package I found two small black pieces of foam glued to the mounting bracket. Did you remove them or just leave them there?
If only one of the lights didn't work I would say it was a problem with paint in the socket or a faulty bulb, but if none of the lights work after painting it sounds like a problem with the light switch or a loose wire somewhere.
Hampton Bay Springview
This is an awesome video!! Thanks for the detailed explanation.
Whats the process if I need to change a light fixture to a fan/light combo? (it is prewired for fan/light combo. Not sure if thre is the horizontal rod across at the top to hang the fan off of..)
austex2020
If your fixture is pre-wired for a fan/light combo you should have an extra wire in the outlet box. The extra wire in my application was red and I connected it to the blue wire from the new light assembly. The new light assembly comes with a hanger bracket that attaches to the outlet box.
+iScaper1 My hanger bracket has a ground on it, and a ground coming from the pole from fan - it seems in the one you show here there is also a bare copper ground coming from the junction box? In my Junction box there is only one bare copper wire coming in with the hotwire and attached to a ground screw at the Junction box, shouldn't there be another bare copper wire attached from the junction to the 2 groundwires on the fan or would 2 ground wires suffice?
+Mister Vidal
You could run a jumper from the 2 wires on the fan to the ground screw on the outlet box, or undo the ground wire on the outlet box and connect with the 2 ground wires on the fan with a wire nut. Second option is probably the easiest.
What I did was wrap the bare ground house wire around the outlet box ground screw and continued it into a pigtail connection with the 2 grounds from the fan (bracket, and pole connection) - is this okay?
+Mister Vidal
That works.
Thank you very much!
Was the ceilings electrical box approved for a fan? Looked like a standard box to me.??
I can't believe this is exact same fan I have and want to replace.
+goldilx1
Good luck!!
Thanks, now is easy.
I have a brand new construction home and only 3 wires coming out of the box (red/white/black). I don't seem to have a copper/green ground wire. Did they build my home incorrectly?
I have 2 comment about this. First, when you removed the old fan, you could have hung it on the hook of the hanging plate, so there would have been no rush to disconnect the wires. Second, the box you are hanging the fan from appears to be a plastic one, which fans should never be hung from, because the threads can strip from the fan's torque. On any fan instructions it says " Use an outlet box that is safe for fans", and plastic doesn't meet that standard.
What did u do to with the old fan
thanks for the tip :D
What did you end up doing with the old ceiling fan?
I donated it to a charity organization.
i have a situation where the ceiling fan and lights worked prior to taking the ceiling fan down, it was cleaned up and painted,news paper was put in the light bulb outlets prior to being painted and now the fan works but the lights will not
yes they do
I don’t know what the first fan is, but the second fan is a Hampton Bay Springview.
Here is another tip, get some help, use two A frame Ladders, Turn off the Breaker for the light fixture you are going to replace. Ceiling Fans are heavy, if your mount box needs extra support do that first. It's better to be safe, than sorry.
Good tips, thanks for posting.
Iscaper1 our fan started making a noice today and we need to replace it soon
I like this Hampton Bay ceiling fan what's the name of this fan and do they still sell them?
+Kyle Foster
Home Depot has a number of Hampton Bay models.
Springview
Thanks
I have a Hampton bay fan and the lights system is directed and I want to fix it how do I do that
I installed this fan a few years ago. It is now dead, the light does not work and the fan only works on the lowest setting. Any ideas?
Does power has to be off?
Was the power off??? You should always start with that.
Yes, I turned the power off at the breaker.
52" Encon Bouquet Ceiling Fan
what did u do to the old fan?
is the new fan still there today
do you still have the ceiling fan
And now I need to hurry and undo the wire nuts funny LOL
The old Ceiling Fan is a Encon Bouquet and the new Ceiling Fan is a Hampton Bay Springview Ceiling Fan.
Have you ever had a problem with the fan pull switch???
None yet.

Wish the video cited what screws were used. Other than that very helpful.
What name brand fan this is I like it
Kyle Foster
It a Hampton Bay.
Great
I have a Hampton Bay Carrolton ii with LED light...The fan works fine, but the light is not working...I exchanged one light to Home Depot thinking it was the LED light, still no light...The fan works fine, but the light doesn't...How would I install the light part?
+JumpersKing87
There's usually a wire harness with terminal strips where the wiring from the fan part of the light connects to the light kit part of the light. I would check that first.
+iScaper1 I did connect that. The directions said to connect black on blue strips and white on white strips still no light...Do I need to troubleshoot the light?Or am I suppose to open the light part and buy an LED bulb for this particular model?? (Carrolton ii with LED light)
+iScaper1 Also if the fan part works, but the light does not does not work in this case, Does that mean the whole ceiling fan is broke or should I take it back to Home Depot???
นา
Old fan: unknown.
New fan: Hampton Bay Springview.
The old fan had a hook so you can make wiring connections
how did you assemble it without an electrician
Looks like at least half a day
Hampton bay ceiling fan
u could of just put the canopy in first then the tube and left the hanger ball on the tube then
No the 24inch ceiling fan pls
I wonder how the fan is doing 10 years later
Not sure, we sold the house the fan was in.
What is the old fan?
Sorry but I don't remember.
I'm going to turn the power back on we working on the electrical and it will shock you
old fan: encon. new fan: hampton bay

Old fan Bahama
New fan Hampton Bay Springview
Great video but dude! Please invest in an electric screwdriver! :-). For real, good job.
what about the wall switch ..you didnt show it pal.
Pls put up a Hampton bay maratie my instructions were not in the box
Do you mean a Hampton Bay Marta ceiling fan? If so here's a link so you can get the manual: www.homedepot.com/p/Hampton-Bay-Marta-52-in-Brushed-Nickel-Ceiling-Fan-24030/100637543
No the new 24inch fn I had no instructions
Jamie Smith
Here's another link for the Metarie 24" fan: www.homedepot.com/p/Hampton-Bay-Metarie-24-in-Brushed-Nickel-Ceiling-Fan-AL508-BN/202352269
There is an Info and Guides box about halfway down the product page where you can click and get an Installation/Assembly manual.
FIRE HAZARD, THE lights overheat the fan speed selector , on this specific model
I know.
Yeah I Agree And There Should Not Be A Plastic Box Because It's Not Approved For Ceiling Fans There Has To Be A Metal Box Or A Fan Pancake Box.

Question why do ceiling fans use candelabra bulbs? Why couldn’t they at least use medium base bulbs that are not included or included CFLs or LEDs that would be MUCH BETTER. ALSO THE LIGHT IS SO DIM. AWESOME NEWS: THEY STOPPED USING CANDELABRA BULBS AND NOW COME WITH MEDIUM AGAIN.
I bet on the old fan the lights would be fairly bright.
