The light button on my Kichler remote has stopped working . If I order a replacement remote does it work with my current fan as far as installation?

I have bought this remote twice for my bedroom ceiling fan because it looked EXACTLY like the one I had. I worked perfectly both times. However, you need to keep the old remote to know how to set the little pegs inside which is like a "code". If they are not the same as the one in the fan, it wont work and you will need an electrician probably. One time I couldn't find the remote when I got it and I just changed the little pegs in sequences to try to find it. I was able to with some trial and error.

no instructions were needed to sync it with the fan we have. It simply began to work.

Mine didn't. I have to install the receiver so that it can read it. I am looking for a handyman to install it.

Yes, I had the same problem. You don't have to rewire your fan, just put your batteries in it and go for it! Gary

I assume that could be more than one thing. Easiest first: Does the little LED on the transmitter come on when you press the buttons? If not, check your batteries and their proper installation. If the batteries are good, and you see the LED, can you turn the fan's light on and off? If not you may have no power to the fan. When you installed the fan, are all of the connectors inside of the fan housing properly connected? The fan's receiver my be disconnected. I don't have the installation instructions handy, and I installed three different fans, so I am not clear on the details anymore. It's been years. Lastly, if none of the above helps, contact the seller or manufacturer or see if there are problem reports and solutions on line.

When I bought the fan, I had a remote. The original remote got stepped on. So I had to buy another. They guy who put my fan up was able to get the new remote to work with fan.

I simply replaced the remote unit and the fan works great. I did not have to replace the receiving unit in the fan.

Hi SH, I just installed the fan this weekend. I ended up replacing my original dimmer switch with a Lutron Fan/Light dimmer combined switch. It is a little pricey but works wonderful and gives much more control over the fan and lighting then the remote. I highly recommend it. Although the switch does not mention compatibility with LEDs, it does in fact work flawlessly with the LED in the fan. Lutron MA-LFQHW-WH Maestro Fan Control and Dimmer Kit, White

This is the answer I got when I ordered my Kichler fan -- why don't you call this guy Jerry? his 800 number is listed in his reply "Hello! This can indeed be used with a remote: Kichler Lighting 337001WH Universal Hand-Held Remote Control System If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! --Jerry from Lighting and Locks 1-800-334-5804" Lighting and Locks answered on June 15, 2013

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.

yes--it's very easy to operate--the remote works both the fan and the light--two separate buttons.

From the research I have done, the remote and IR receiver in the fan have to be compatible. Replacement components are no longer available, The only solution is a new ceiling fan with a compatible remote.

Yes, it worked with our fan light. One difference was that this control turns our light on at full brightness and then one can dim from there. With our fan it was dim first then you turn it up. Personally, I prefer this controller. FYI we only needed to replace the controller, our control board in the fan canopy did not need a change--less work and now we have a back up control board if we need it in this or another fan.

There seem to be conflicting answers here. Does anyone know if you need to install a receiver or not? How would the fan know to be controlled by this remote otherwise? It's currently hooked up to our existing remote which is broken. So how do I "tell" the new remote to control this fan?

If the fan/light is controlled from the wall switch, after you install the kit you need to let the switch on to use the remote. When the wall switch is off, the remote will not do anything.

This controller did not work with my fan. It is the correct controller for my fan. We did everything the instructions outlined and our electrician couldnt get it working either. Only controls the light but not the fan.

I did not use a remote but I think one is available. We put it where the old exhaust fan was & it was easy to have the light & fan work separately. I love this little fan, just be careful after you install it that you don't drop the light cover like I did. Westinghouse was helpful in replacing it.

Hi Mayra,Thanks for the question. Yes, the remote works for both light and fan separately, but from the same remote. We hope this helps. Mayra, if you have any other questions, or would like to place an order, please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, they're also literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

If the remote hand held unit button configuration is the same as pictured, it should be a replacement. If not, then you will need to replace both the remote hand held unit and the receiving unit that is inside the fan housing.

I think you can order a light for this fan. Whether the remote will work or not I don't know.
