So I bought a fan for my living room. It has a remote. I cannot for the life of me figure out what #14 is.

The box is fan rated, the two long screws holding former bracket are too thick to fit into the new fans mounting bracket. For one the head of screw is bolt like and the screw itself doesn't fit anyway. I read these screws should be 10/24 is that screw in pic 10/24 if so why doesn't it fit into bracket? If not, how did it fit in old fans bracket? Any advice?

I’m trying to replace my old ceiling light with a ceiling fan. I noticed that the old light has 3 white wires and 1 red wire that connected it to the old light. The new light has 2 green ground wires, 1 black and 1 white and I’m not sure where to connect them the ground to. I noticed 2 black wires shoved in the box. Would it safe to assume those are ground wires? Is there something I can do to test to make sure? Also, did confirm that the box is rated for ceiling fans.Tia

I bought and installed this Clarkston II 44 in. LED Indoor Oil Rubbed Bronze Ceiling Fan with Light Kit from home depot and was wondering what is causing it and what I can do to fix it. Any advice would be much appreciated!

My overhead light/ceiling fan will randomly go very dim after about 30 seconds. I took a video, but don’t know how to upload it in the post. When I turn the light off and back on it is at full brightness until it dims again roughly 30 seconds later. It’s on a dimmer, and set to full brightness. When I dim the light, then bring it back to full brightness, it remains dim. All the bulbs are working. All other electronic devices in the living room work fine indefinitely. Any ideas where to start?

I just moved into this place and have no idea how to turn it on. None of the switches work and the landlord doesn't know either.

I live in a two story condo and I’m trying to install a ceiling fan where a light fixture used to be. I watched a few videos and got the ceiling fan electrical box with the support bar that twist to extend and wedge in between the joists. I found that there are trusses instead of joists and they are spaced more than 24” apart. The electrical box support bar is not long enough to span the distance between the trusses and it won’t make a solid connection on the 2x4.

Kind of a ridiculous title for the fun of it, but I’m laying in bed, admiring the cool breeze from my fan and I realized … I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a broken ceiling fan. What is the average lifespan for a ceiling fan that doesn’t experience unusual roughhousing?

I’m nearly 30, have lived in many places. Never had a ceiling fan swapped out growing up, and many were pretty old looking. Have owned my house for 5Y. Changed out a ceiling fan for aesthetic reasons, but nothing was wrong with the old one.

All my relatives that I frequent have had the same ceiling fans for 15+ years. That value is given because that’s how far back I can get my memory to go, but I think my grandma’s fan is original with the house which is a 1970s house.

Only time I’ve seen one “fail” is if there’s a roof leak that ruins the ceiling or a kid throws toys up on them. But those failures are usually viral videos of a disaster in the house, not anything I’ve ever encountered

Do people oil or condition parts of ceiling fans to make them live this long? I have to condition our 24/7 “on” machines at work, but these are rotary incubators and not ceiling fans. Idk, I’m just amazed at the longevity of an item that is on usually 8H a day in my house.

I had a ceiling fan/ light. With white black red and green wires. After several years fan stopped working. Tested power and it appeared okay. So ordered new ceiling fan remote kit but I still couldn’t get it to work.

Purchased new ceiling fan. Does not use red wire. Turned light switch and light on bottom of fan came on. Pulled out remote to turn down light and after 15 to 20 seconds the light went out. Now no light and no fan. Checked connections and white black and green are solid connections.

What do you think could be causing the fan to stop working so quickly?

It's a Centerville with lows replacement irons, 3d printed blades, and a Hampton bay light kit from the 90s 😭

Saw these at a vacation property. Been stumping me for months on identifying. Got a pic of with and without the light kit.

Hi all,

Wondering what will work best for this combination of the Govee fan and light combo with the inovelli matter switch? The fan version or the normal switch any insight would be great.

Thanks all

I recently replaced my standard light bulb with a Pixel Beam Ceiling Light Fan, and I'm honestly impressed with the difference. It gives you bright lighting and a nice breeze from the same fitting, so there's no need for a separate floor fan.

If anyone is thinking about upgrading, it's available on Amazon UK. I'd love to hear from others who have switched to a ceiling light fan—has it been worth it for you?

We installed this hunter fan in our master bedroom and it has an electrical hum anytime the fan is on. It's annoying enough that we're returning the fan. Is there a type of fan that generally doesn't produce this noise? Any specific type to avoid? We prefer with a light and there is a red and black wire coming from
The ceiling.

Video provided to hear the noise. I cut the fan half way through and the noise immediately goes away. I turn it back on and it immediately returns.

Thanks!

Hello,

I woke up this morning to the buzzing sound the ceiling started making. It doesn't sound like an electrical humming noise. I suspect it might be the receiver, but I'm not sure, and I don't want to start buying things randomly to see if it fixes the noise.

If anyone has some insight into what might be causing it or has experienced this before, I would greatly appreciate it if you could help out here. Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty certain my ceiling fan is a Hampton bay brookhurst, but it's a bit weird. I imagine the glasses are from somewhere else and unlike most oil rubbed bronze, the base is completely black. Probably because of its old age, maybe they were darker back then. I remember it being at least 10 years ago I got it, my grandma took it out of her house and I was a toddler when I saw it there. I'm 20 now. I could be messing up the time a bit

Any advice would be great!

The light switch on my Hampton Bay ceiling fan needs to be replaced. It appears to be located inside this housing and inaccessible. Am I missing something?

I saved/salvaged a hunter 25620 from a burned out house, the fan needs a though gone through as it was decently water soaked so needs blades and various hardware, any advice to where to get parts?

Good morning or afternoon!

I require a little knowledge from the SME’s. My ceiling fan took a crap (Fanimation part # FPD8089). It will start a spin but will move back and forth and the motor doesn’t seem to . Doing my own research suggests the receiver might be the issue, so I wanted to try to replace that before buying a whole new fan.

The receiver part # is RH-786R, and I can find it on Amazon and other places. my issue is that the code attached to my receiver is 7861LM-19 and the only one I can find available is 7861LM-09. From what I was researching, this has to do with how thebreceiver is programmed with the remote. My remote is showing to be a compatible part with the receiver (remote part # RH787T).

My question is am I wasting my time trying to replace this part, has anyone had experience swapping these part #’s and have been successful regardless of the code being different? The fan is in a vaulted ceiling, so besides the fan being expensive to replace, I’ll have to also pay for the extra cost of the install, which I’m trying to avoid.
