I just had a ceiling fan installed in each of the bedrooms in my home. All of the fans have a light kit and a remote control that operates the fans and the light. The problem is that when anyone adjusts the ceiling fan or light in their room using their remote, it does the same thing to each of the other fans in the other rooms? I am a female that is not capable of doing any unwiring and would rather not have the installer come back out, but I guess I can call them if I need to. How can I get this solved?
Sounds like all the dip switches are set to factory still. Easy enough to fix.
Slide open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control and remove the fan's canopy against the ceiling. Then just change the switch to a different setting but make sure that the remote and fan have the same setting. Repeat this in each room so that all the fans have a different setting to each other.
Hope this makes sense.
Testimonial: "Completed it with minimal problems. I had my teenage son hold the fan in place as I changed the setting in the fan and then we just screwed the canopy back in place. Thanks a bunch!"

Sounds like the remote receiver units (located where the mains connect to the fans) took a surge and have failed.

I have the same fan. The fan and the remote have some "jumpers" which allow you to change the codes, useful if someone else nearby has the same fan. You can see the jumpers inside the remote, open the back cover... you'll see "4 3 2 1" on the circuit board. Unfortunately you'll need to dismount the fan to change its jumpers, they need to be the same as the jumpers in your remote (which you can move around pretty easily).

Each remote/fan unit has to be set to a different code otherwise you will always have this problem. Open up one of the remotes and you will see the area where the numbers can be selected, usually one thru five. Then remove the cover on the fan at the ceiling and you will see the same set up. Just go from unit to unit and do not use the same code on any two fan/remote sets and your problem is solved.
I had this exact problem. I bought two Home Decorator fans from Home Depot and installed them in separate rooms in my house. They have LED lights. I know for a fact that I wired them right because the model fan in Home Depot fan was wired the same and my remote worked perfectly with that fan. Both fans at my house had the same issue of the light not turning all the way off but dimming worked and fan speeds worked. LONG story short, I had another fan in the Master Bedroom that was turned on. When I turned the power to that fan off (wall switch toggled to off), both of the new fans worked!!! Now I need to figure out how to wire the Master bedroom fan correctly (9 wires in one box) but at least I know what the issue was!
