I have a Minka-Aire fan that uses this model of remote. Can I buy this and simply change the frequency setting in the remote to match the motor?

I don't think you have to change the frequency setting in the remote to match the motor of the fan. It should work right out of packaging for the fan. Mine did, without programming. Hope this helps!

I don't know what kind of remote the Minka-aire fan uses, but this comes with a transmitter (remote) and receiver. The receiver goes in the fan unit. If you know how to replace the receiver in your fan, you should be able to substitute this one, then the remote will work. Good luck!

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!

The remotes come programmed at 'all zeros' by default and most people only change them if there are interference issues. Try just using it out of the box. If that doesn't work, you can try setting the switches through the possible codes (there are 256, so it's not impossible) or you can open up the shroud for the fan and see what the controller module has set.

Hi caseyo, thanks for the question. Yes, you can use a remote with this fan. We recommend Control Model No: 99019. It must be purchased separately, and usually runs around $65 or so. As for your second question, lights can be added to this fan. We hope this helps, if you need anything further please reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

Hi Leslie, Well that's a good question. I would call the manufacturer of the remote to find out. My new fan did not come with a remote that's why I bought this one. The description said it would work with almost all new ceiling fans. I don't see why it couldn't replace an existing remote unless your fan is older.

Not sure, Leslie. I guess it all depends on wether the the fan's mounting bracket will accomodate the new remote. If not, you should have no problems returning it under Amazon's return policy.Wish I could tell you more.

As far as I know a remote is unavailable for this fan. Check with Hunter for models which use remotes.

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.

A hand held remote is available but does not come with the fan. You would need to order in separately. We did so and it is basically all we use. Highly recommend both the fan and the remote! Search Minka Aire RCS212 Hand Held AireControl Remote System - Flat White. Cost is $29.80 through Amazon.

There is a frequency box is beside the battery. It has 4 switches on it that are numbered. Just match it up with your old remote or find the frequency box on the ceiling fan itself and match it with that.

I purchased the fan which came with a remote. I purchased an additional remote so I could have one it at each of the locations I would need it. Just make sure you are purchasing the correct remote for your fan.

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.

The fan will come paired to a remote. it will not work with both fans. There may be a way to reprogram the remote with DIP switches? The manual or a call to Minka will answer this.

After looking at several of the "Minka" at Amazon, they all seem to include a remote control. This universal control is designed to work on most ceiling fan/light units that are controlled by a wall switch or pull chain on the unit itself. It needs to have constant power coming in to it so it will utilize the automatic functions. I would be concerned the Minka and the universal remotes might disable the other one. If you could bypass or remove the Minka remote, it should work.

Yes, you can. I just installed the fan this past Sunday, and I didn't use the remote. It will install like any normal fan with a light kit...ground, black, white, and blue wires.

I don't know, I had a similar remote for my fan and this one works fine but it comes as akit so you can change the whole thing if needed

Yes, match it to the master by pushing in the red button on the motor. Follow instructions included with remote and watch for green light for confirmation .

You can add the optional Hunter remote kit to this fan. It's Hunter #99119 and can be found on Amazon.
