When I hook my Hampton Bay ceiling fan to power, neither the fan nor the lights work. I have power to the fan and have the black and blue wires on their own power. I show power to the light socket but no light will light up. Any ideas?

When I've installed these fans in the past, the blue wire was for power to the light kit. If you don't have a light kit, just tuck it out of the way.

ok lori connect the fan wires like this-----white from fan to both white wires---blue from fan to red---black from fan to both black wires then copper wires to a ground.let me know.

The only thing which goes to the house's white wire is the fan's white wire.

Both the black and blue wires from the fan (black for fan motor, blue for light kit) go to the black house wire.

Anything else could result in a fire, a melting of internal parts, or a massive electrical explosion arc. The owner's manual is very clear about how the fan is supposed to be wired, and you voided the warranty by going against it.

You may have blown a fuse or a circuit breaker, or you may have blown something within the fan, or your house may be wired in series (very unlikely) in which case you need a new separate wire run for the light kit.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

Those connections sound OK ,, now you have to go to the canopy and see if all the wires for the fan/light are connected to a house wire. If there are two switches , then the blue fan wire would connect to the red wire .. it may be capped off in the ceiling. If there is only one control switch , then the blue wire from the fan will connect to the same ceiling wire as the black fan wire does.

Please Vote !!

if you have a single switch for the outlet (I mean no separate switch for the fan) then on your fan you couple the blue and black wire and couple it to the black out of your outlet. The white (hot lead) to the white on your fan.
The red wire out of your house outlet may be for another control, but you should also ground the fan.
Use an electrical twist CAP for the red wire.
This configuration will turn everything on the fan and lights and allow you to use the pull cords to control the features.
NEVER LEAVE EXPOSED WIRES anywhere. Even if the insulation does not expose the wire, cap it.
(ps, I have this fan, and installed. It is heavy so make sure you have good support. After installation, make sure you balance the blades.)
good luck.
