HHow do I change the direction of the fan from the remote? Model # UC 7080 T.

Sorry, but this isn't a solution. I am a caretaker at a house that has 13 fans with these controls. In a nutshell,30% of them stop working and do exactly what you are describing. I have never been given a satisfactory answer from monte carlo. The only thing that has helped is I now carry and extra remote with me that I know works since some of my fans are over 15 feet up and I have no ladder that high. I then change change the code to match the one of the fan that I need used. I'm sorry, but this is what I have been dealing with for 4 years. If you have only 1 fan this probably won't help at all.

You probably have one or the other of the remotes pictured below:






In both cases, if you press and HOLD the button labeled "Light / Dimmer" (top remote) or the top round button with the light bulb icon on it (bottom remote), the intensity of the lamp will become brighter until it is at maximum and then become dimmer until it almost turns off . If you continue to hold the button, it will begin to get brighter once again. Pressing the button quickly simply turns it off when it is on, and on when it is off.

The buttons on the remote leave a bit to be desired as far as how well they work. You should keep an eye on the red LED indicator while pressing any button. If it fails to light the command is never sent. If it stops lighting while holding a button in, (to send a dimming or brighten command to the lamp) the command stops being sent and the intensity of the lamp no longer changes. I have found that sometimes I have to press the edge of the button to get them to work. If yours is giving you trouble - you might try that, too.

I hope this helps & good luck!

Some Minka fans have a reverse button (REV) on the remote control. If yours doesn't, there is a slide switch on the exterior of the fan's motor.

Minka has a website with downloadable user manuals at minka.com. Enter your model number in minka.com's search box and you may read the manual there.

Good luck from Detroit, MI.

That sounds better, you first said the remote told you...
1. your remote will have a reverse button or a fwd/rev button
i dont know which remote you have
2. as far as the globe, if you dont see little screws holding in place
you have the twist style, you will rotate the globe. their is also a chance if it made of soft plastic, it will pop out

My parents had a cassablanca fan that utilized a three button remote and if I am not mistaken to reverse the direction you held down two of the buttons at the same time for approx 3 seconds and the fan would make a different beeping sound than it does normally when changing fan speeds and bingo it changes direction. It should work, all fans work basically the same . Good Luck

Your reversing button for that particular model is on the remote control. There is no button on the fan body itself.

Not sure if this addresses your problem or not, but with my Minka Aire ceiling fans, the fan has to be moving in order to change the fan direction. Turn the fan on (any speed works), then push the reverse button. The fan will speed up to max, then you'll hear the gears switching. The fan will slow to a stop, change directions and get back up to speed in the new direction.
