Fan button fail This is about a Hampton Bay ceiling fan thermostatic controller. The fan speed button only works when pressed hard and in a specific direction. This fail after about ten months. Very disappointing - the fan - from Home Depot - is a good one but this controller is not impressive at all and it is way too expensive. Opportunistic pricing doesn't create friends!If the button gets worse I may look inside and attempt to repair the switch. Anyone else tried? What was your experience? Tell us you were successful!

It is definitely way to expensive. I saw the same on eBay for $15.99 still in its package.

I expect this remote has crud under the button. Sometimes the plastic template oozes thick liquid which interferes with the button action, and cleaning with alcohol does help but it's temporary. You may be able to renew the button action with a repair kit like Chemtronics, CircuitWorks, Rubber Keypad Repair Kit. That would also be a temporary fix because remotes wear out. 10 months is pretty short - mine has worked for 4 years now.

There is a vacuum operated door in the A/C-Heater box. I have found 2 different problems. 1) broken vacuum line or low vacuum. 2) The spilter.door has broken or is stuck. If anything drops in the box like candy, toys exc. The door will stick. If you replaced the actuator. Yes the controller could be bad. But first. Unplug it. Clean the connectors, then plug it back in and test it. I have run across bad connections. It that works. I would use dielectric

I did not have to install anything extra to get the remote to work. The only difficult part of getting the remote to work was figuring out the dip switch setting. I took a chance on this remote mainly because of the cost. The ones lowes and home depot sell are around 40 bucks and there is a chance of it still not working.There are 16 different frequencies for the Hampton Bay Fans, so you would have to play with the combinations. The 2 fans I have, one of them was set with all the switches down and the other one was 3 down and 1 up.Here are the frequency list: (I believe 0 is down and 1 is up)0000000100100100011001010011011111111110110110111001101011001000Hope this helps.

Sorry I can't help, however my experience was the same. The remote failed within a month. I will have to contract to have scaffolding installed to get to the fan. When I called Hunter, they were horrible. I have installed new fans for my porch and none were Hunters and I will never purchase another of their products. From others I have talked to (including the electrician) they have sold a defective product. Sorry to hear this is happening to many people including yourself.

What you have in your ceiling fan is a receiver; the transmitter is in the remote control, just like in the one you use for your TV. I have never even seen a Sears remote control kit so couldn't say if the Hampton Bay remote is compatible with it; at the very least you will need to know the code that is set on the receiver and at that point, it's just as easy to install the HB receiver in the fan. I'm curious as to why you need a new remote control...did you lose it or has it stopped working?

Hello,I think this is the same model as mine. I tired On Amazon but sadly I think its just too old to find now. I called Hunter, where I bought the replacement remote control only (to use with the original receiver in the motor) maybe 8 years ago?, but just a week ago they told me now they no longer carry it. I searched online and found it at two replacement parts sites and just ordered mine. Do a search for -hunter ceiling fan Remote Control Transmitter 0765201000 and see images to confirm it is the one you are looking for and find a replacement parts site link to order it.

Sorry we cannot be helpful as we had this switch installed by an electrician who was doing a lot of work for us as part of a reno project. We do love the fan and the remote and switch all work well - we have it on low most of the time in this cold season to gently push warmer air down from a high ceiling in a small almost entirely windowed room overlooking our wooded backyard. Exactly what we were looking for - pretty efficient and not very expensive.

Hi Kathryn: I ordered my Hunter 60 inch ceiling fan to cool my HOT cathedral living room ceiling. the temperature decreased 10 degrees over night. I did not have a light fixture on my cathedral ceiling. I paid 2 professional electricians to crawl up into my attic and install the necessary wiring. The fan has a remote (real convenient). My ceiling fan does not have a light. I did not want a light fixture on my fan. I am perfectly satisfied with my Hunter fan. I have a ceiling fan in every room, except the bathroom . Saves me a lot of money on my power bill. HUNTER is the best ceiling fan.

The Titans Control Mercury 2 - Fan Speed Controller works great at any speed you put it at. The SE Electronic Stepless Speed Controller didn't work at all (either full on or off)

My thermostat touch screen also failed. I replaced the wall maounted unit (not the controller mounted at the furnace) and it now works fine. If you have a high efficiency system with multiple heating/cooling settings, you will need to program the thermostat. I didn't learn this until a later furnace tune up when I was told the system was using only the low load setting. The technician programed the thermostat.

I had that problem intermittently too. I search forums and that along with the fan speed only working at high or low velocity were indicators of a bad resistor.

I bought 2 of these last year and had problems with both, one fan didn't work and melted front, other one makes alot of noise and quits after about an hour, I have to unplug let cool down then I can restart!! Good luck but both of mine are JUNK!!

I did not notice this in the Hunter fan documentation. This switch includes a control unit that is located in the ceiling base that works in conjunction with the switch. As far as I can tell it works in principle the same way with the fan as the stock unit did. I am not do not know why this switch can not be used, but it has operated trouble free in my installation so far. I can only speak about my experience and would not say that it would work in someone else's. The control unit that came in the fan operated only with a remote and would not store settings if you turned off the switch. It was complete junk.

I can't say ANY Hampton Bay fan but it works just fine for our 10 year old model without adding anything other than batteries to the remote. Of course you'll have to sync the dip switches on the fan and the remote. The only issue we've experienced is that we have lights on the top and bottom of the fan that work independently and the remote only controls one set. I imagine we'd have to match model numbers or something for that.

My controller also broke after one season. It would go on for a few seconds and then turn itself off. I called Serta to purchase another controller, but they gave me the number of Perfect Fit, since they are the ones who manufacture it. Too many people have had the exact same problem with the controller of this otherwise nice mattress pad. Save yourself a lot of trouble and get a different brand.

It seems to me the remote is the only way to control the fan and the light. Everything went well so far except for an accident a few days ago. My son played with the remote for a while and then somehow I couldn't turn off the fan. After half an hour struggle, no solution could be found on the specification. In despair, I had to shut down the electricity of the house, then turned it on. And the remote came to life again after that. I did wish it'd come with a standard wall switch as a backup.

Hi sorry to hear about the issue. If you have tried everything with no luck, would suggest swapping it out for another. 1 of 3 I purchased we ended up returning. Now, we got ours at a local store so I didn't have to hassle with repackaging/shipping. My sister bought one and had issues as well. I commented on the table top version of this fan that unfortunately the manufacturer is not very consistent, or that QA is lacking. Despite the little issue i had, I am very very satisfied with my purchases. Good luck and I hope you get to enjoy your fan soon!
