Installing ceiling fan with two switches AND a... (by 3 users)

posted by revfrank on Aug 17, 2007

I am installing a Hampton Bay ceiling fan after taking down and old inoperable fan. I have two switches (fan and light) AND the light is on a three way switch. The Hampton Bay has a remote control and the transmitter controls both fan and light on one power source. How do I install this thing?

The 3-way switch went bad. I bought a new switch but forgot where the blu wire goes

I am installing a Hampton Bay fan with light and fan being controlled by a remote. I remove an old fan and found two white, two black, one red, and one cooper wire. How should I wire the new Hampton Bay fan?
I have tried ignoring the red wire(capped and put it aside). connecting the bare cooper wire to the green fan wire(ground) and connecting both white wired from the ceiling to the white fan and two black ceiling wires to black fan wire. This fan does not work
I cannot find the installing instructions for the fan and I am not sure of the model number of the fan.

in your ceiling box should be three wires. a red goes to the three way switches, a black goes to the hot and the white is the neutral. the fan wires are black, blue and white. since you have a remote, connect the [fan] blue & black together with the [line] black. connect all white wires together. the remote will now ramp up your lights from off to full on and the fan remote will let you choose lo med high and off. just tape up the red wire in the box.

I have a hampton bay ceiling fan with light fixture all connected to a wall switch and controled by a remote. The light does not work any more and I have replaced the bulb with three different light bulbs and it still won't work. There is a green wire coming off the bracket but there is no ground wire coming in from above. There are two wires coming in from above ( the box in the Attic)
one white and one black and they are connected properly. All the wires are taged from the remote receiver, the fan and the light and are correctly connected. Any suggestions?
