Fan turns only at low spreed. Cannot reverse direction. Prior to this, it was working ok and I switched direction without stopping the fan. There was an ubusual buzz and now the fan can turn in only the one direction and a low speed.
Thanks for the advice, but I am not sure which is the 'running' capacitor. There are two: one is a single 5mf cap and the other is a dual 5mf which has one end of each connected common.Thanks for the advice, but I am not sure which is the 'running' capacitor.

Reverse direction for a ceiling fan is a clockwise motion producing an updraft. In the winter, when your heater is running, reversing your ceiling fan moves warm air near the ceiling down to the floor. This greatly reduces your energy use and can lower your energy bills by as much as 15 percent. You will need a ladder or a step stool to reach the motor housing. Turn off your ceiling fan and locate the direction switch on the motor housing. This one is here, sometimes they are on the top of the motor housing. Make sure your fan has come to a complete stop before flipping the direction switch in the opposite direction
You cannot do this because the remote has a connection for reversing the direction of the blades. Hunter does not post the schematic for their fans. There is a common, low, medium, high and possibly the light and the reverse direction. IF you do manage to connect it, you will lose a lot of functionality.
to change the fan from counterclockwise to clockwise get the fan going on hi. Hold the hi button while switching the wall switch from OFF to ON quickly. The fan will switch direction. To go from clockwise counterclockwise just hold down the low speed button until the fan switches direction. This makes no sense but it works only took 7 years to figure out.
Check your capacitors to see if they're bad. That's the black box near the pull chain switch with wires going to the switch. If bad call 1-888-830-1326 Hunter parts. 2 wire part # 74132-01-000 ( probably not this one) Other capacitor part # 74133-05-000 (probably this one)
Turn the fan off. Locate the reversing switch. It is on the base of the fan near the fan speed and light switches. if its not on the remote control. have a good day !! If it does not have a revesing fan switch and its older, You may have to physically(with fan stopped) Push blade in from end and twist blade for reverse air.
Sounds like the fan is defective. All internal wiring from the switch to the motor is factory installed. The fan has power going to it. Just to make sure, double check the wiring from the ceiling fixture to the fan.
Problem could be a faulty switch on the fan or faulty motor(bad winding for med. speed). Try reverse switch on the fan to operate the opposite direction and see if medium speed works. If medium does work in opposite direction, it pretty much points to a defective fan. In any case, unless you discover that the ceiling wires were reversed going into the fan, I'd say new fan to the returns dept.
