How to wire a remote control ceiling fan, without using remote.

I purchased a Hampton Bay "Caswyck" 54" ceiling fan. It comes with a hand held remote control. I do not want to wire it with the remote control function. Instead I purchased a ceiling fan/light wall control switch. No where in the ceiling fan owner's manual/instructions does it say how to wire the ceiling fan and light without the remote control. There is one black, one white, one red, and one green wire at the ceiling. The fan only has one black and one white wire coming from the remote box, and the fan itself has one orange wire (upper light), one blue wire(lower light), one black (motor), and one white wire (neutral). How do I go about wiring this fan to work without the remote? What is the sequence these need to be connected?
If you hook it up this way though, are you still able to control the speed of the fan and the brightness of the light?

SOURCE: How to wire a remote control ceiling fan, without using remote.

If you don't want the to use the remote you don't have to, but you don't have enough wires to switch the upper light, the lower light, and the fan. You can, however, switch the upper and lower lights together if that's okay. In order to do that you'd connect the white from the ceiling box to the white (neutral) on the fan, then the green from the ceiling box to any green(ground) wires on the fan, then the black from the ceiling box to the black(motor) from the fan, then the red from the ceiling box to the blue and orange (lights) from the fan. I'm assuming that the black and red in the ceiling box are also in the switch box where the fan/light control switch is going. Those are the ones you'll connect to the controller.

I have a Hampton Bay Cieling fan, model # FAN- DH L3H2003, and the remote control does not work. How can I get a replacement?

before you buy a new hand-held remote ... have you changed ALL the batteries. There's a set in the hand-held remote and batteries in the receiver, which is behind the fan's cowling. If you haven't changed them all, I'd do that before investing in a new remote control.

if you find, after changing all the batteries, you do need a new remote control, here is a link to one for all Hampton Bay Ceiling Fans.

Hope this helped you. Please let me know. Thanks.

How do you install the remote transmitter in a Hampton Bay Ansley ceiling fan?

jaggirl, most Hampton Bay, Remote Controlled Ceiling Fans have the receiver already installed inside the fan's cowl. The Transmitter is the Hand Held Remote. Both require batteries.

Can a remote control be installed on the Huntington III?

Yes you can operate them with two styles of remotes: either the remote wall switch, or a hand held remote. Both require the receiver to be mounted above the top of the fan in the base it is wired to. The receiver has wires on both sides; the one side wires directly to the house wires, and the other goes to the fan and light. They are both sold at Home Depot and Lowes. The ones at Home Depot also include the set made by the fan manufacturer.

Remote needed

If you talk to Fantasia Fan people, they may be able to help you. I've had spares from them, & they were helpful.They also supply a wall mounted, wired controller, but it needs an electrician to do the wiring. The plus with hard wiring is that it doesn't have a wireless controller pack to go wrong.

Need remotes

In theory, they should. Try Hampton Bay first, and if not, check for aftermarket replacements. Those remotes are simple enough that there is no reason that they can't.
