- i got this fan from home depot for $119.99 (12/5/20)
i love it and i wanted to let you know how to install one because it can get a little TRICKY.. feel free to ask me anything
Great video. I had this same one and my bulb just blew out after so many years. How do you remove the covering to change the bulb
Yes! I'm trying to figure out how to get the glass covering off to change the bulbs as well. I saw that he put it on by turning clockwise, but counterclockwise isn't budging.
Chris - it’s Feb 2022, and your instructions are hands down best I can find. Instructions coming out of Chinese factories are GARBAGE! Thank you for keeping it simple! Look forward to more videos!
Seriously man, your instructions were so much simpler than any other video on this installation. Thank you so much
Do all the blades and lights prior to lifting up... So much easier to do on the ground/couch/bed
Thank you so much for your well detailed video. I was able to install my first ceiling fan with your help. :)
In comparison to the other instructional videos for this fan, yours is five star! Thank you!
Hi there great instructional video! So my problem is that sometimes my fan and light randomly comes on. So my guess is someone around me has a remote with the same frequency. How can I get to the fan receiver so I can change the frequency codes along with the remote? The contractor put the fan it so I’m thinking the receiver is probably somewhere on the top. Do I have to take the whole fan apart to get to the receiver? Thanks.
This was seriously the best how to video. Bought this while wife was out of town and was dreading that this could turn into an “oh crap” I’m stuck kinda moment. Perfectly executed video. Thank you!
I have a red wire from ceiling which I capped and used the black wire from ceiling to connect to black wire from receiver and connected white and green as per instructions. The fan is not working. Do I have to use the red and black from ceiling to the black from receiver??
can you please do a video on how to change the code and pairing it to the fan again
For the life of me I have no idea what Ive done wrong but I cannot get the light to work. I even bought another light disk for it. I’m so confused. Your video was great though by the way, thank you!
I can’t figure out how to switch the rotation for this and don’t have the instruction book anymore. Any help?
Hi, very good and helpful video. I got it installed by electrician but I wish I could have seen this before. But now I have 2 problems. I ordered 3 of these and of those, one is making a humming noise when the fan starts. I think it's the motor. It's loud enough compared to others so I ordered the replacement motor. How do I replace just the motor? Also, all 3 remotes control all 3 fans. I know remotes have some switches but I am not sure what I need to do on the receiver to make the specific remote sync up to it? Any help on these 2 issues is appreciated.
Hello, did you get a fix for the humming noise on the motor? Sad to say my two fans I installed have the same issue.
Anyone know how to remove the receiver and remote so a wall switch with fan speed dimmer is only control?
Broo I need some help here. I just saw your video, and I would like to know if you know what kind of capacitor this ceiling fan has. actually I'm looking the Tidal Breeze model... is there any chance you may know abt ?
Make sure if you’re buying multiple fans for the house to adjust the frequencies on each on so one remote doesn’t turn off the other.
Renting a duplex where this is happening in my two rooms and the neighbors’. The receiver was installed upside down and so I can’t get to it. Am contemplating jumping out the window.
Dude, your video made it hella simple. Thank you
This was probably the best step by step tutorial about this product I've ever seen. I struggled looking at the instructions which by the way are confusing 😒 until I went to UA-cam to find your video. Thank you so much!!
Mines didn’t work at all
My ceiling wires were white and brown
My fan wires were red black, green, white from the grey small box.
I connected green on green with copper and then white on white
Black and red with each other and got a spark on the circuit breakers not sure what happened
you might have to test it with an old extension cord with a ground wired straight to the fan.. or test the wires in the ceiling 100% some new electronics MUST have the ground wire hooked up correct. I have seen ceiling wires ALL MEST UP before
There’s also a red wire does anyone know if I need that or no?
How stuped they design how to hide the remote receiver
Thanks for the amazing video
Thanks for helping ya boy out !
Thanks a lot for your video, your simple explanation made it easier to understand. Bought 2 of the black n' brushed silver very elegant, I just installed one.
Omg thank you !! Could not have installed this fan without you !!!
You forgot medium😳😳😳😳
2024 160$ after tax for the same one
You say the light is dim. Did you know you can adjust the brightness by holding down the light button on the remote?? My question is: Does anyone know how to change directions of the blades with the remote??
you can’t.. it has the little switch on the motor part to reverse it like any other ceiling fan.. I found out about changing the brightness on accident.. the light is still weak for a room as a primary light in my opinion.. but I like it and use it when I’m feeling sleepy
Can you tell me where the reverse on this fan is? I know it says surface of motor assembly, but I swear I can’t find it. Thank you!
2:50 and literally page 1 of the instructions
Helped me a lot... just at the end of installation, one of my wall switches didn’t work which would be to turn the fan on & off from the wall.. but it works on the remote.. & the light control still works from the wall switch. Any suggestions?
I have that same problem, but not even the LEDs work with the wall switch. Did you ever figure it out?
@@r.spivey3599 no I just left it the way it is..
@@JayVTheGreat, yeah, mine has been like that for 2.5 years. I've gotten used to it. I now must replace the LED assembly in the fan because it started flickering and dimming, but at least that's an easy fix.
@@r.spivey3599 I think you can find it on Amazon
I set up same but fan work and light doesn’t why?? Help
hold the button down on the remote.. if that doesn’t work you probably did not plug the light in
The one thing I would also include is caulking at each hole in your junction box with some silicone to seal up air being pushed up and escaping into your attic.
please note, if your ceiling fan remote has a red light but the fan/light won't turn on. Try flipping the breaker first before you try to put a new transmitter in! I just did it and it worked! fan and light are working just fine! PS I'm a grandmother of 7 grandkids! Thank God this worked or I would have had to hire someone to fix it! 🙂
Great instructions!! Everything worked out just the way you explained. This helped me tremendously! Thank you.
Life saver thanks
Thank you so much, you are a great big help. Much success to your channel 👍
too bad I can’t change the bulb cuz the bulbs not bright enough for me , it’s giving me the yellow bulb vibes.. not really LED
Awesome how to video!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I can tell you they should’ve made the box a little smaller to fit in there and make room for the extra wire. That’s there all of that wire needs room because when you shove the first shroud over the mounting bracket sometimes the wire hangs down and you could see the wire through the hole or the bottom of the shroud it’s a very tight environment to put everything underneath of that cover. 🔥🔥🔥🔥.
Dude you are the man. Got this done in less than an hour because of you. Thank you!
I have the fans in 2 bedrooms upstairs. I love them but damn it’s annoying how the fan picks up the remote in the other room.
Perfect upload ‼️‼️‼️ My fan was so freaking easy to install ‼️
Thank you!!!
How would the wiring change if I don't use the remote receiver? I've been having issues with my remote and just want to use my combo light switch
Your instructions are awesome. I really appreciate the help. Great work.
thanks man
Super helpful
Thanks brotha!
Fan doesn’t turn on only the light please help. Also i noticed my receiver doesn’t have that yellow antenna like yours
This was the best instructional installation for me. 5 Stars for you Chris Craft 2. Being age 63 years of age it's not easy to see instructions. I was able to install step by step and at the end finished I felt so happy to know & see *It's now fully installed. I saved Installation labor that's wonderful. The price value I paid was $129.00 & taxes. the value is very worth it and great look and nice air breeze too. Without your help, I would not have been able to install it. Thanks so very much.
I lost my control, how to do I match the code from the control?
Look at the code on the receiver in the upper canopy.
I followed your video but for some reason it goes on and then off. It’s buffering
Hey just a fyi if you hold down the light button on the remote it gets brighter than the sun wo the globe on wear glasses 🕶️
Better directions than the app it makes you download to use. Thanks man!
First 👍great video very helpful
thank you for checking out the channel..
Thank you thank you I had such a hard time fitting receiver and wires and your video is the best!!
Hi Chris
I am hoping you can help me? You helped me install a ceiling fan last week, so happy. I bought another one for another room and one of the screws is stripped. Ugh!
I really don’t want to take it down. Motor is up, all wired, canopy cover on, blades on. Now I am at light kit.
One of the screws to loosen on fan motor will not so I can’t put light kit plate on. Any suggestions? I tried a rubber band, drill in reverse. I am hoping you have an idea. Thank you!
My ceiling fan does not throw off air how to fix it
what does that mean?
I've got four of these fans in my house. Flippers put them in less than three years ago, and already the LED assembly in one needs to be replaced because the lights constantly flicker and hurt my eyes, and the light on another one sometimes does not turn on. I also have four overhead light fixtures with integrated LEDs, and two of them have quit working. I'll either need to replace the LED assemblies or just buy new fans and light fixtures because I don't have confidence that if I replace the assemblies I won't have to do it again in another year or two. Frankly, I'd rather change bulbs. I'll never buy another fixture with integrated LEDs. Out of 8 overhead fixtures and ceiling fans, the LED assemblies in four of them have gone bad.
Also, wondering if you still think it's cool that both remotes work with both of your fixtures. My flippers did not change the codes in any of my four fans, and it has been a pain in the butt running from room to room turning switches on and off and trying to coordinate lights and fans so that I can have fans on in some rooms but not lights or vice versa. I am 62 and didn't want to have to pull the transmitters to change the codes, but now I've grown extremely weary of it.
This is the best installation video I have seen! Instructions are clear and free of a lot of extraneous comments. Video shots are carefully done so that everything is easy to see.
Had issues making the receiver fit into the mount bracket. Watched your video and was able to get it right. Thank you for the help!
Fucking fan. I’ve wired it exactly this way and same as directions. Light flicks on for a second then shuts off. Wires are all clean and put together perfectly. Grounds are secure. And nothing! So pissed
I think you have the light off on the remote
I installed mine and for some reason the base holding the light spins like it shifts into a gear and now it no longer wants to turn on the fan. The light turns on but the fan doesn’t spin.
i loved the part where he says make sure its off or it will ruin your day - lol
I am happy on first hit comes your vedio and did big help to replace my old one with new like champ 🏆 😉 I even does not open the instructions package ...
Thank you for such a great explanation
Thank you my brother! You helped me alot!
Having a hard time getting that dome glass piece off to replace the LED. Tried turning it counterclockwise and nothing I guess I should take it down to remove.
mine are stuck too
Your LED assembly is messed up, too. I have to replace two in four fans. I've had these fans less than three years. I'd rather replace bulbs than to ever again deal with integrated LEDs. I have two other integrated LED overhead fixtures that must be replaced as well.
You ever get that glass dome off? I need to replace the LED on mine and that thing won't budge.
The light can’t be replaced it’s integrated into the fan
I believe you can hold the light bulb symbol on the remote to make it brighter!
yes you can.. i did not know that at first
You just solved my problem! Wondered why my light was so dim!
Just want to thank you for your instructional video. You made my life ten times easier. Thank you 👍🏻
Awesome video! Thank you so much. I moved to a place that has 3 of these fans and the controllers all control the fans. I need to program one fan to each controller. Are you able to show that somehow? Your help is greatly appreciated. I think you need to set the code on the remote to match the code on the receiver. Is that correct?
Yes the receiver is in the upper canopy.
Great video! My fan had been working. Now the light still works and not the fan. Have you ever encountered this?
Did you feel any vibration from the motor?
Excellent video clear instructions great demonstrations now if you can answer my question that would be great .
I have had my fan for five years and the light started flickering I assumed it was time to change the LED light I was trying to replace the light section before I saw your video I unscrewed the section that the light is attached to in ERROR . Once I seen that was wrong I retightened the section but the light does not come on at all now .What should I do replace LED or replace the fan?
I had a contractor install 2 of these fan but the remotes both operate both fans-which means one command given to the remote makes both fans in each room operate. How do you get the remotes to work independently with each fan?
I have another merwy fan video I show it
This is a great video ; it saved my day 🙏
Great video I did not look at instructions once did it all from video
I'm hearing so many positive reviews about the air flow. My experience is that while the blades turn extremely fast, it just doesn't push much air. I assumed it was due to the flatter pitch of the blades. But after hearing so many comments regarding how well it works, I'm wondering if something is wrong with my install. And to be clear, the fan is not turning the wrong direction. I've tested both clockwise and counter. Has anyone else had this issue?
both of mine move a lot of air… if the blades are dusty they won’t move air.. even a little dust…
How do you reverse your fan
did you now that it has 1 switch and im not useing the remote
What is your favorite speed on it?
Hi, did you have a problem with the motor wire to the receiver twisting when you turn the fan on?
no
just got done installing mines and man your introduction made it so easy definitely deserved my sub 👍🏽
Thank you for the help!
Hi I don’t like that it’s not bright enough and it’s not as warm as I’d like. Is there anyway to replace the led inside for a warmer brighter one ? If so what do you recommend?
Hold down the light button and itll gradually increase brightness to extremely bright 😎
Hi, do you know where is the capacitor located? I have mine for years now, medium speed and high speed are the same there is no improvement when I switch between both speeds so I guess is the capacitor but I don’t know where is located to replace it :/
I dont think ceiling fans have one.. if it does I don’t know anything about it
@@chriscraft2 It does have a capacitor, probably somewhere inside the lower canopy. All ceiling fans have shaded pole motor (the last shaded pole motor ceiling fan was discontinued in 1985), permanent split capacitor motor, or DC motor (the ones wired to 120/240 volt AC power are brushless and would start differently from permanent split capacitor motor ceiling fans).
That was perfect thanks Watched it once installed it works great
Although I screwed on the glass piece for the light before I installed it just looking at the parts and then we can’t get it back apart so the light is not installed yet unfortunately hopefully it will come apart
I honestly can’t get the glass part back off either one of my fans 🤔
I have this remote but it won’t turn my fan off after I’ve changed the battery. Do you have any suggestions?
the code on the remote needs to match the transmitter
What if I have a red, black, white and the ground what does the red wire connect to?
just cap it you don’t use it
Great job!! I am confident that I can do it with your easy installation!
Great video easy to follow except how do you change the direction of the fan spinning
The reverse switch is under a lower canopy. But keep in mind that blades are only shaped for downdraft, and if you run it on updraft, it wouldn't cause much airflow, unless you flip blades upside down which can be dangerous cause that's how someone had blades fly off.
Can somebody tell me the model of that LED light im trying to change it bc mine is not working
You will have to change the whole fan
Any advice if you don’t have a black and white wire to connect to the receiver. Just a red one. And 3 tan ones twisted together that power 3 different light! (Kitchen,car port& back patio)
Red is the black wire and the tan are the white
Did you figure this out? Mine is the same way
Thank you for this.
Hi there Chris, I love your video, I couldn't install it myself but thank god for handymen......even though the guy installed 2 of these one in each of two bedrooms.....he didnt think about the remot codes being set at default...so when one goes on the other one goes off......not a good thing if both rooms are occupied in the summer at night right???? i see that you slid the remote box into the area in the top. Do I need to cut the main power to the house to pull it out and change the code ? I dont know much on electric stuff much so I dont want to set a fire...lol thanks you talk effectively thanks you are great...
just turn it off on the wall switch to kill power while you change the code
Thanks for the help 😊
Man thanks your video made it so much easier for me 🙏🏽.
Awesome video, makes me feel like me with no skills can do this
Thank you
excellent-- getting ready to install 2 for a friend today
My fan is spinning to the other side. How may I fix it?
lift cover around stem and there is a switch
If I lost the remote can I delete the light kit & use a 2 way wall light switch?
yes, but you will need to test and see what default settings are.. Fan might only run on high as well as light on max
Chris, these instructions were a lifesaver when I installed this a few months ago, and the fan has been working great, but now I have a problem with it I'd like to ask you about. The fan is installed in my bedroom and I rarely turn the light on, and I only turn the fan on when I go to bed and then turn it off when I get up in the morning. Today, I came home and somehow the light (but not the fan) had come on by itself. I used the remote to turn the light off, however an hour or two later the light (but not the fan) came back on all by itself. I'm wondering if you've had this problem or have any idea what may be causing this and any thoughts on how to fix it. Thanks in advance for your reply.
a lady in the comments says that happens and she thinks it’s a neighbor ... try changing the code
