" "
have hads problem for over 1 year, just lived with it. live near a small airport and thought it might be small planes transmitting som signal that was doing it. Remote finally stoped turning light on and off so I purchased an exact replacement and still having same problem. Decided to change dip switch settings and found out that I can set fan control unit dip switches to any code and remote will still work fan and light. Dip switch setting on fan does nothing. Any suggestions

My solution for intermitent light on/fan off-on: It is not outside interference. It is defective receivers. I took back my second 27185 back to Menards with the exact same problem as the first. I went to Home Depot, bought a Hampton Bay model 191-691 remote unit for $8.00 less with same features and when you turn the lights off then back on, the receiver remembers the brightness level you turned off at. Been installed for a week now with no problems. Hunter would have acted up the first day.

about the fan NO! but regarding light going on and off there is a possibility that some other influence of an electronic nature can affect remotes. Air cons , electric jugs CB and Air craft radios on UHF can do it as well as next doors remote!
