I've installed this but the fanlinc box doesn't fit into the wire box nor the ceiling fan cnopy. Anything you've done to solve?

a) It's a good looking unit, mount it on the ceiling beside the fan. b) Mount unit in box with room and run wires back to fan. c) Buy a different fan. c) Install a large wire box.

I ran into the same issue. My fan switch is for a bedroom fan with a vaulted ceiling. I first hardwired my fan to a switch on the wall so I never have to go back up in the attic or get on a ladder for link issues. Since the fanlinc is too big for a 2 gang box, I am installing a 3 gang box opposite the wall where the current hardwire switch is. This happens to be in my closet so is not an issue aesthetically. I'll replace the hardwire switch with the Keypad linc so I'll still have wall control in addition to any app or remote devices I decide to use

See if you can find smaller wire nuts at a local hardware store. Also route the wires in smooth straight paths so they dont cross each other and things will take up less space and may fit better. Crossed wire paths take up a lot of space.

good point, I have not installed mine as yet; but the problem is that there is a switch merged on the original facia that alters the aircon. I would guss that the only solution is to make a custom switch, although how is not something I have considered. Sorry can't really assist.

I have no idea but, I did call customer service regarding my wiring situation, and they gave me a configuration which made the device work perfectly. My guess, the Fan only feature would not work.

Yes, that's how I have mine. The fixture has the positive & negative wire coming out of the base. You just have to run two wires from the electrical wires in the ceiling down through the ceiling fan to your fixture. I have a Minka Aire ceiling fan & to run the wires through is very easy. I used solid wire & just pushed it through to the other end. If that doesn't make sense just let me know.

Oh man, I'd double check your wiring.From the overly complicated instructions this is what it boils down to.

There are small groves in the bottom frame of the fan box. Just plug-in those small legs in those groves in the bottom of the frame.

Try flipping the fan over or reversing the positive and negative wires (leave the ground wire as is). Hope this may work...

You probably placed the exhaust fan too high on the ceiling joist, which wouldn't allow the cover to fasten properly. Mine fit perfectly.

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!

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.

It may be an alignment problem as stated by others here. Look on all sides of the fan to be sure you are plugging it into the correct place. If, after exhausting these avenues, the plug still does not fit, have Amazon replace it. I bought two and no issues with either of mine. Good luck!

You need to connect it to the power supply on your motherboard, look for the proper connection of the wires coming from the fan. Hope this is the problem.

Our builder had all the electrical hookups installed in the ceiling so the installer didn't have any trouble hooking it up. The unit didn't come with a electrical cord so I bought one at Home Depot. Not sure about the fan in the summer.

I had the exact same problem. I don't know why or how the fan cover cannot be removed. I'm guessing I should of emailed the company. Mine ended up breaking and I bought a different brand. Sorry

Give it time to heat the space. Make sure u have the correct dedicated amp outlet. I have a thermostat set at 55 and it works like a charm 20x20 space...

Sorry to hear that. Contact the seller and send it back, especially if the fan doesn't come on. good luck

I had the same problem because I removed the wire for the wall button in order to insert the wire for the new receiver. What I had to do (my brother in law explained it to me) is insert BOTH the wire for the wall button, AND the wire for the new receiver into the same hole/receptacle. They will both fit in there. Sounds wonky, I know, but that is where they both need to be to make both the remote and the wall button work.
