We can't get the remote receiver to fit underneath the fan's canopy cover. Any tricks to the installation?

This controller is designed to work with the Minka Aire fans that already have the receiver installed. Try youtube for custom ideas

I assume you are talking about the reciever that goes above the fan itself. Are you using all the original parts from the manufacturing and not the previous ones? It's a tight fit but I was able to squeeze it in. Also, you may want to cut out any excess wiring as that will also interfere. If all else fails, try to find a space outside where u can hide it under a cover. It's just a remote sensor so it can be placed anywhere as long as the wiring is connected. Speaking of which, I need to redo mine sometime. Good luck.

Yes, Change the 4 pin DIP on the fan receiver and controller (under the battery cover).

Hey Marc, as Roger pointed out, the level control on the remote is what can help plus placement. We hope this helps you.

This is the entire unit...both the remote, and the receiver that installed in the fan itself. I would guess you would have to replace the received in the fan in order for this remote to work with it. In my case, the remote was the same brand as the remote I was replacing, so I did not install the receiver that came with it. The receiver already in the fan worked with this remote. Hope this helps!

Remember to have the fan powered to high and the lights switched to on when installing a remote. Try pulling the pull string for the lights once in case it is currently in the off position. If that doesn't fix it, check the wiring between the receiver and fan, and the power wires and the receiver.

No. It is just like every other receiver that I have seen. They are made to fit into the hanger above the ball. I actually installed mine remotely because I have an industrial fan.

Hi Deanna, unfortunately I am not using the remote that came with the fan. I purchased two fans for my back patio and opted to hard-wire them together to my switch. So I am only using my wall control. When it comes time to go backwards, I will just switch/press the small lever on the actual fan itself. Sorry I couldn't confirm this for you...:(

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.

Hey Connie, the receiver is in the cowl covering closest to the ceiling. It fits above the "ball join that allows the fan to oscillate a bit. Hope this helps! Eric

Yes, this remote should work. If the new remote does not operate the fan, you may need to change the frequency code on the remote to match the code on the receiver. The receiver is located inside the fan canopy. Instructions are included with the remote.

Change the frequencies on each fan's receiver and then set them in the remote to match. These are the little leavers/dip sticks inside. Make sure you turn the power OFF first! We just installed 4, all on different frequencies!

Yes. It is a tight fit to get remote receiver in but I am using a dimmer and fan remote from Lowes

Good Lord, tons of answers with no actual answers! "YES" does not help the question "how big is the receiver" !!! I know this is late but you need about 1.25" of depth between your ceiling and the opening base of your ceiling fan frame and roughly 5" of width side to side within that mounting area for the ceiling mount cover to fit over. Any less than this and your looking to customize the ceiling mount or mount the receiver outside the base altogether! Im still laughing at the answers here, LOL! Like everyone has the same fan!

I wrapped a few wraps of black electrical tape in front of, and aft of the hole on the square tube and then slid it into the receiver. It makes it a bit hard to install, WD40 helps, but it doesn't rattle. It took very little tape to snug it all up.

The receiver/module will be hidden by the motor housing. It definitely takes some work to make it all fit, but I recently installed one, and it works well.

This comes with the receiver. So you will have to drop the fan install the reciever that is included with this. I just purchased one a month ago and did the same thing.

Hello - I realize that you posted this comment some time ago, but I'm hoping you may be able to help me. I bought this fan a couple of months ago but only recently hired someone to install it while I was away on a trip. Turns out my 1948 house has the 2-wire electrical, so my contractor simply purchased a different fan. Now I can't return this one. To use it, what did you do? Did you purchase a different type of remote and if so, what kind? Thank you!
