I can't remove the globe to replace bulb in the ceiling fan. I removed the 3 screws but I can't tilt the globe.

Check a home-depot store, if you see a similar fan, ask for the sales person to show you.

There are usually 3 hand tighten screws surrounding the opening where it meets the socket portion. With one hand on the bottom of the globe, loosen the screws with the other hand (carefully remove globe)

Hampton Bay assembly information is tough to come by on the internet - except for sales info. As an electrician, I have hung more fans than I can remember, and have never found any that were not secured by either (1) three or more thumb screws, (2) a threaded portion of the glass globe or (3) a "bayonnette" (quick twist) type mount that required little more than an inch or so of twist to remove.

The globe should be removed by either loosening / removing three or more thumb screws that are designed to engage the recess between the globe itself and a lip around the opening; unscrewing the glass globe light a light bulb ; OR by twisting the globe about an inch or so in one direction or the other (like many automotive-type lamps). I suspect the type you have is the latter. From your account of what is happening, it suggests to me that the entire fan / light fixture is twisting on the fan support on the electrical ceiling box when you are trying to twist the globe. The globe and rest of the fixture are moving as one instead of independantly of each other.

If yours is the type that must be twisted from the base, you'll need to prevent the rest of the fixture from twisting at the same time while attempting to remove the globe. This will probably require a second person to help - given that it seems to have become wedged in place, and trying to grip it and balance the globe might be to much to do by yourself. If yours is held in place by thumb screws, no amount of twisting will allow it to be removed.

There should be no "secret" way of accessing the light bulbs, something has happened that is preventing the easy removal of the globe - whether it is corrosion, dirt or some other debris. Make sure you clean it up completely before reassembly.

I hope this helps! Good luck!

Remove the glass globe exposing the bulbs and replace. Some of the globes have screws around the metal rim that hold them in place and some actually unscrew as a unit.

There should be 3 screws at the top of the globe holding it on, Just loosen the screws and the globe should come down. Careful not to drop it.

Look for three or four small thumbscrews around the metal rim that holds the globe. Unscrew each several turns while holding the globe with your other hand underneath to keep it from dropping out. You should not have to remove the screws completely. Just loosen them all enough to remove the globe. If there are no screws then the globe may twist into the rim light a light bulb. Hold the fan housing steady and turn the globe counter-clockwise to unscrew it. If it turns but does not unscrew then there are probably screws holding it as first described. They may be flush with the rim and you may need a small screwdriver or Allen wrench to unscrew them.

twist counterclockwise (looking up at it) on glass firmly and carefully, the globe functions like a screw

I found on mine that the bulb is held in with 3 tenshion clips. You just have to pull the globe down slowly to gain access to the light bulb.
