Yes, I have the same problem. I have learned to work around it. I make sure that I turn the main switch off, when I am not using the fan. I will check the channel switch, as suggested by other users. It is a very good fan, I would not replace it.

No ... If you open the battery cover, you'll see four tiny switches. These govern the channel that the remote is on. Some other device, probably not in your home, is operating on the same channel and turning on and off your fan and lights. To fix the problem, you will need to change the channel. This is easy to do for the remote ... but you have to make the same changes in the receiver in the fan, which is usually located under the cover nearest to the ceiling. Hopefully that will fix it, but if it doesn't, you'll have to try another channel. Good luck ... hope your ceiling isn't 14' like mine ... No ...

The receiver might probably be picking up a signal from some other device that puts out a signal that is on the same frequency as the light assembly. You might change the switches [frequency switches] on the receiver and the remote unit (so that they match each other) as they should. It is not a serious issue but sometimes annoying one at times. I would suggest that you talk with an electrician just to be on the safe side.

Sorry for your problem but I can't be sure my experience will help you. Mine was direct-wired and burned out in a thunderstorm. Replaced it with a different version. Fan still works fine.

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.

I had same problem. The fan was not working proper. The company sent me a new one and has been working fine ever since

I've thought the same worry and stress about losing the remote which would render the fan useless. I would contact the company... I am too... and ask. I'm sure they will sell us just the remote.

The fan and light come on at the same time. The instructions for the wiring were a little difficult to follow, but we did figure it out.

Try the fan manufacturer, or just duplicate the wiring of the existing fan switch.

No they are cooling fans if the power you are pulling starts heating it up they will kick on. Be careful not overload it. It will shutdown to protect itself

I don't think so, not for me. I cannot recommend this item. I have two of them and the bulbs burn out in six months, and right now, one of them is broken. You have to "train" the remote controls to work and my two remote controls are different models. I don't know if the fan/light is broken or the control. I have replaced the bulb at least four times trying to get it working. I think the fan/light is broken but I will have to call Litex first to see if they can get my control to work. I don't like these fans: they are too much overhead and they do not provide enough lighting for me.

The switch itself is fine.... its the circuit board in the fan that is the problem. If you can avoid it buy a fan that doesn't need a specific/special switch.

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

No. The LEDs are always on.Only the front two fans are LED, so you could just buy two 120/mm140mm fans to replace them.

i have the same problem. bought 3 fans less than a year ago and 2 failed in the last week. i will try and change the fuses but have put Amazon on alert just in case.

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

No, I have light on separate switch. I have fan and heater on same switch. Works great.

Yes - if your fan is not working and everything else is - then it is probably the switch - which is a part that can easily break. I tired to fix the old switch but that is impossible. Just be sure to mark where each of the four wires go to make sure you get them back in the proper place - otherwise you will be guessing through trial and error. Good luck

Julie, I have the whole fan unit that I installed but a customer didn't like it, you can buy the one I have. It was barely used. $30 cash ok? Greg - acrescue@rocketmail.com
