This remote will replace the original one that came with our fan. Does the fan need to be disassembled to install the replacement receiver?

It depends on how the original receiver was installed in the fan. Mine was installed in the cover that sat flush against the roof I have also seen them installed above the fan in the ceiling. It is very simple to install depending on the location.

Remote goes under canopy section (@ ceiling), not in fan. I have one of these and it works great.

More than likely, unless they share the same frequency. If I remember correctly, there are four or five dip switches to pair the remote with the receiver. Maybe you will get lucky and be able to pair the new remote with your old receiver.

Maybe not but match the tabs in the new remote to the tabs in the old remote and try it. Some work and some don't.

if you are talking about the "part" to make it remote... yes, it was included. However, I did not need to use it... I just needed a new remote... the part in the fan ... that receives the transmission... worked with the new remote control. Hope this helps!

Diane, I bought this remote for my old ceiling fan. I thought the price was high, but cheaper than buying new fan & paying someone to install it. When it arrived, I held my breath and push the buttons. Works perfectly!! Betty Jo

Yes. I purchased a replacement remote and looked up the instructions online. Very simple process.

If you put the receiver in the fan, and program the receiver and the transmitter together, they will be exactly the same as the original.

I know I am late answering this question, but that is a yes and no question. If you replace the receiver with the one in this kit(yellow box pictured), than yes. If you want to use your existing receiver, then probably not. Typically, the FCC ID on the back of the old remote would have to match the one on the new remote. Don't go by the way the remote looks. You can find visibly identical remotes that are not compatible. At the same token, you can find two remotes that look nothing alike that will work together. Don't forget one other important thing. If your fan has reverse on a hard switch than do not buy a remote with a reverse button. If your old remote has reverse on it, then your new remote must have reverse on it.

I don't know about that fan, but that is what I did on mine. I did not change the controller in the fan, only the switches in the remote to match my current remote. It worked great!

i doubt it. i kinda did the same thing you're doing and tried to match it up with another fan. it was worth a shot, but didn't work and i sent it back. i went ahead and bought a brand new fan with remote

I looked around for a compatible remote for my fan and it doesn't seem matter. Regardless of what type of remote you get you will have to undo the fan and wire in a new receiver. I got one that was specific to my model of fan. I had to rewire it anyway. Its not difficult to do, just a pain. Have a friend to help.

No that I see. It is bundled as a package. I had to buy the whole kit and didn't need the control portion for the fan since I was just adding another remote to control the fan we already had when we added a new entry. It beats buy a whole fan though...

Nope, the remote works right out of the box with your fan. No additional wiring or programming. Well worth buying so you can have the switch on your wall AND the remote next to the bed or on the coffee table.

Sorry for the late response. I only bought the remote to replace a broken one. the fan already have a receiver. I just adjust the 4 number sequence to match the remote. If you fan doesn't have a receiver or a remote set up you have to buy them both.

No, it doesn't. The receiver is built-in to the actual fan housing itself. It's assumed you already own a compatible Hampton Bay ceiling fan and the receive circuit end works as intended.

I have an old ceiling fan/light and this unit works fine with it. The receiver is installed in the fan base with some rewiring required. It is not real complicated. The unit works very well with either the wall switch or the remote that comes with it.

Its the remote that doesn't work on the fan that was made by the same company. The Hampton Bay (Home depot) replacement I bought controls it just fine though and this thing requires you to change the receiver up in the fan. Don't bother. If you are just interested in a remote and not re-install of your fan, do yourself a favor and get the other brand.

It worked fine for me as a replacement for a remote that went bad. It comes with some components for the ceiling fan, but I did not need them.

Sorry, we had a friend install it and I don't know. What I do know is we do use the remote and LOVE this fan. Works great and quiet.
