If you are like me and have had a few problems with your Hampton Bay Ceiling Fan Remote not working then this is the article for you. I don’t claim to be an expert but after researching many articles, I have put together a comprehensive list for troubleshooting your remote control. These suggestions work perfectly well for any make, model or brand of remote control. Here are a few basic reasons after which we go into detail with full explanations, and more so please read on.

The first thing you need to do is to determine if the transmitter is receiving the signal, so check that your batteries are not dead. Replace them with new ones if necessary and then try the remote control again. You will need to know where the receiver location is to switch off the fan.

Hampton Bay Ceiling Fan Receiver Location: If your transmitter has a reverse button, then the receiver will often usually be in the Switch Housing (located between the blades and the light kit).

To do this most of the remote controls will use Dip Switches (see the drawing in this article Dip Switch Settings and check the picture further below) to set the channel on the receiver and transmitter.

If you have more than one fan with a remote control, then the switch settings, on one transmitter along with the corresponding receiver, can be changed so that this transmitter will only operate the ceiling fan with the corresponding setting.

The reason could be that someone has pulled either one or both the pull chains. The reason why the remote won’t work if this is the case is that the pull chain switches are in sync with the remote control receiver unit.

The solution is to press the fan high button and then light on, on the remote control unit, and then pull the pull chains until the light comes on and the fan runs on high.

Another thing you might try if the fan works but the light won’t turn on is holding down the light button on the remote while pulling the light chain a few times. Remember that holding it down is the key.

It is easy to find a replacement on Amazon. Just search for Hampton Bay Universal Remote (Affiliate Link to Amazon) and a number of recommended remotes will show.

However, if you can, it is always best to get an original Hampton Bay Remote Control, Just check here, as it will have more setting available. Universal remotes typically will have limited settings.

We cover how to get Hampton Bay Replacement Parts in this post here. If you are wanting to get a replacement then you really need to check out this post by clicking here.

If you have found your Hampton Bay ceiling fan remote control or your wall fan control unit has all of a sudden stopped working, more than likely it will be related to the fan and remote frequency settings.

You will need to contact the manufacturer for a replacement or for the warranty information. Please check our article Hampton Bay Replacement Parts for help with this.

Tip: As mentioned above in this article before you go ahead and dismantle the canopy at the base of the ceiling fan, double-check that the batteries within the remote control are working.

You may also get a wall bracket with the kit, but essentially it is just a remote, and the batteries are not included. Again check on Amazon for these remote kits.

Not all apps work for all ceiling fans so its best to try a few until you find one that will sync or interface with your fan. Just go to Google Play Store and do a search for ‘Universal Remote’ or ‘Ceiling Fan Remote’ and download and try the app.

You may have connected correctly the remote receiver input (wires coloured red/black and white) from the outlet and output (wires coloured blue, white, black) to the fan.

When a button is pushed on the remote, a red LED light should light up. This tells you that the fan remote control is sending a signal to the fan receiver.

So we checked what Universal Remotes are available and came up with a definitive list of six that we consider being the best. Some are Wink enabled, others are Basic and some are LCD with thermostatic control.

This remote control is good with most styles of ceiling fans, including Hampton Bay and Hunter. It will control the fan’s light with dimming and speed.

However, you will pay a bit more for this feature. The cost of the remote control is reasonable, and being a Universal Remote its going to be good for the Hampton Bay models.

Sometimes the fan will turn on on its own and not when at the set temperature, other than that it works well at self-regulating the speed with a nice easy display.

This Wink Enabled Hampton Bay 4-speed Universal remote control comes compatible with the WINK automation system to enable you to control your ceiling fan by means of your smartphone or Tablet.

The remote control buttons are very intuitive, however, those of you that are not so experienced with wiring will need to read the directions thoroughly, and not carry out the installation if they are not comfortable or not skilled with the wiring.

With a clear LCD display, this Hampton Bay LCD Display Thermostatic Remote Control offers easy to read details. As a fully functioning remote, it can set the speed of a fan by reading the room temperature. Turns on/off accordingly to save energy.
