Wynn Ceiling Fan Turns on by Itself [Fixed]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- Our Home Decorators Collection Wynn 54 inch LED ceiling fan with wireless remote was turning itself on and off. I suspect it was picking up interference from another device or one of my neighbor's fans. I resolved this by moving the fan to a different frequency using the switches on the fan and remote.
Fan model:
Home Decorators Collection Wynn 54 inch LED ceiling fan with remote control. Model #: 04628

Bro... you're a freaking god! someone changed the switches on the control of my mother's in law fan, she asked me to help her cuz the fan stop spinning, I searched for at least an a hour for the combination (cuz she doesn't have like any screwdrivers to disassemble the top part) until I found your video, thx so much!!
Awesome man, glad you got it fixed! 💪
Props to you for an extremely well illustrated and enormously enjoyable video! Thanks so much. And...I completely agree with you. Those darn manufacturers and their plot to make our lives just a little more difficult!
3rd attempt at changing frequency hasn't fixed it yet. Getting pretty frustrated. If the next attempt doesn't work, it's going on the trash and I'm buying one with NO remote. Glad I'm not alone though. Thanks for the video. Hubby kept telling my I installed it wrong. Umm no! LOL
Now thats how you make an instructional video. Thank you so much !
This video is incredibly well done. Well explained, stop and look pause shots, close ups, hilarious clips in between. Give yourself a pat on the back. I who am NOT handy at all will be attempting this after I visit my breaker first (I do enjoy living grin) to do this. Garage fob by condo neighbours sets it off in the middle of the night. The California breezy look is not good at 3 a.m. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot. I hope it works for you. For what it’s worth, ours is still fixed since I made this video and it’s been a while. Good luck! 👍
Been having the fans/lights for almost a year and just kinda learned how to live with it till they started getting annoying. They would turn on right after I would turn them off like if my neighbor was messing with me all the time. Thanks for the video
Thank you, going to try this (again). I changed the frequency once after my light switch kept coming on over night, but suddenly my fan started coming on. Hopefully it’s just bad luck of having my frequencies match my neighbours again. Your mention of it happening twice was really appreciated.
Yeah I was pretty discouraged after it was still happening the first change. It’s been a while since I made the second one and it hasn’t turned itself on anymore. I guess you’re unlucky like me lol
After watching this video, I’m SO GLAD I have old fashioned pull chains on my totally durable 21 year old fans…The new fans in my grandmothers house have a life of their own. So frustrating!!!! Gonna try this to see if they work
Yes, more complexity is not always better. I’ll never buy another fan like this lol 😂
Thank you for this video. I have a unrelated issues where my remote and fan receiver have the same dip settings (1 and 4 are off, 2 and 3 are on) but for some reason they would NOT pair, even with shut off at the breaker -very strange! Thanks to your video, I learn how to take the panels off and access the remote module without breaking stuff, change both to new/different dip settings and now its back in action. Thanks again.
That’s great! Glad it helped solve your problem
Thank you!! My kids thought our house was haunted 😂😂
I am starting to think my house is haunted.
I live in the sticks with my nearest neighbor being half a mile away. My sons light and fan will randomly turn on and off even without the battery in the remote!! We have a mewry by home decorations. I will try to change the frequency. Thank you for this video!
I will try this myself, I'm pretty handy when it comes to fixing things around the house. I have the same problem in every room in my house, all have similar ceiling lights and remotes. Thanks for the video
Thank you, will attempt this fix and hopefully it works. Had to disconnect the light as it was coming on in the middle of the night very frustrating!
Did this work for you?
@@Sockembopem Yes!
@@james697375 I appreciate you responding
Thanks for this video! I just bought a house with these fans and my room is the only one with a fan that keeps popping on in the middle of the night. Not pleasant.
Another selfish solution. Use your remote as much as possible that it will annoy your neighbors more than you and make them fix theirs instead 😂
I have had my fan for 5 years and my nearest neighbor is 100 feet away. The fan began running without my clicking the remote two days ago. How much transmitting range do these remotes have???
they should have randomized it!! thanks for the video brother!!!!
Glad it helped! And yep, totally agree that these should be randomized
Thank you for your video, gonna ash my friend to change the frequencys, if it continues to happen think I will just get a manually operated unit
Good to know what the problem is. Trust and believe I'm calling an electrician.
Well done video. I think I’d rather call my neighbors and tell them to change their switches. Trial and error? Very random occurrence. Also it doesn’t happen for weeks, then daily. Sometimes slow, sometimes fast, sometimes with light sometimes not. I’m ready to disable the whole thing as it’s freezing in Utah and I’m not in the mood to have a fan on.
Mine acts the same way, and I’m ready to toss the whole thing out. Nothing has been so random as this fan light.
@@marniedavidson6955 I bought and installed one with a good old fashioned pull chain. I’m not too lazy to get up and pull a chain. It’s funny how no other remote control device acts that way. If RF caused a ceiling fan to switch itself on and off, i would think a garage door or etc would act up too.
WOW! Right on the Money! Thanks a LOT!
Glad it helped you get it fixed! 👍
I changed frequencies several time, it’s not helping. I don’t get it
Thank you, I will try this MERRY Christmas
Merry Christmas! 🎄
I’ve changed the switches three times. I also read that a power surge can cause the fan to start. Neither has worked. I guess I’ll keep changing the switches?
Thank you for this i was scared i was about to get possessed
lol! It is spooky when it happens
What if the receiver is built in?. I got a Home Decor Kensgrove LED
*Nice, thanks!*
Thank you good Sir. Will try today.😉👌
I tried changing my code 2 or three times and it did not make any difference. I contacted the company and they said it was probably the receiver was bad so they sent me a new receiver and remote I just replaced both today we shall see how it goes.
Genius! Thank you so much!
this happened the night when my poor dog died the same day, and i pooped my pants thinking its haunted
This seems like so much work 😫 I’m a girl and I can’t even hold the fan
Thank you sir.
Same issue with fan . Turn on by itself and light off.
Your not changing frequency your changing digital codes. The frequency is the same. Changing the codes wont always fix it. The problem is not just neighbors its electrical noise causing the reciever to false. Those remotes dont have that great of a range, unless u live in an apartment. My neighbors are far away and it happens. Sometimes u have to live with it.
How can I check that?
Like number 700 🙏🏼
I hated it's frustrating..at first we got scared we thought 😱 our house was hunted..but we started noticing that they do that or it's electrical or we just didnt do it right..It's so frustrating because the light turns on at midnight so we can sleep
I’ve changed the code sometimes the past week and a half… I’m so tired literally tired because I wake up multiple times in the middle of the night. Ran out of codes and thinking it might be best to set them up as smart fans with WiFi. Can that fix it??? HELP!!!! 🥺
What kills me is I had a bit of this when I bought both ceiling fans when I bought my Condo 5.5 years ago. NOW suddenly it is happening of course in the master bedroom after all this time. Yuk!!!
What if your fan/light doesn't have a receiver? Late last night my fiancé and I woke up to our ceiling fan light on.
Run for the hills! There's someone else in the house...check your attic and basement and be cautious!
Mine keeps spinning however I don't have a remote control one
I rented a home where there were 4 fans like this and each remote worked all the fans since the owner apparently did not give each fan and its remote their own codes.
Lol I can imagine the chaos. Lazy landlord was like nahhh, they’ll figure it out.
Exactly. Landlords like just show me da money. Plus he controls the A/C to not get cool in 111 degree heat in hot assed Texas.
Omg thank you😂
Somewhere other (definitely your neighbors) someone is wondering why their fan is randomly turning on.
I think there’s a ghost playing with the fan when it turns on at night by itself
Yup it’s the same remote that I have. This is so annoying
Thanks for the tip...maybe now your fan is turning on your neighbors! (Karma)😉
My fan is set to low and then outa nowhere goes to high.😂 I think it's my phone wifi. I don't really care but I might put in a helipad 😊. It's kinda like complaining about noone having change for a hundred 😢😅😅
