I bought a house with hampton bay fans and used a different lighting kit and hooked blue and black wires together and white to white wires and plugged connector back in and light kit will not light and cannot figure out how to remove the fan from ceiling to check wiring from house. the fan part works.

Twist the bare conductors together tightly, matching the black and blue ceiling fan wires to the black power wire, and the white ceiling fan wire to the white power wire, don't forget the green ground !!

OK .. if you hooke the bnlack and blue fan wires to the black and red house wires , then that is set for the hook up .. Now at the switches ,, you should have two switches ,, black on the switch for the fan and red on the switch for the lights .. the switches should both be connected to the hot power wire ,, Check for the neutral connections ,, in the switch box all whites would be connected together , and white to white in the ceiling

If you nare adding a light kit to the base of a ceiling fan, you will connect the blue and black wires together ,, and then the two white wires ..

Hi ,, the usual wiring for the fan / light is that in the ceiling the white wires connect together , the black house wire connects to the black fan wire, the red house wire connects to the other fan wire, usually blue or black with a blue stripe. If this does not resolve the issue, then check the wall switches and see that there is a power wire to each switch and that there is a red wire from the fan on one switch and the black wire from the fan on the other switch ..

connect the white wires from light kit filter to the white wire labeled "for light" from fan. then connect black wire from light kit filter to blue wire from fan. use wire nuts to make the connections

Put the black and blue wire together with the black wire on ceiling. Put the White with the White wire on ceiling. Bare/green wires are ground put them together.

What fan wires do.
The black wire is to power the fan motor.
The blue wire is to power the light on fan.
The white wire is neutral.

If you wire this way you turn on the switch and use the pull chains to control the fan and light.

You can also buy a remote control unit at a home depot. And it will have instructions on how to hook to fan and ceiling.

take the three screws the hold the light kit on and make sure the wires are plugged in sometimes the wires arent plugged together from the factory

You have two switches right? One for the light and one for the fan? White should be neutral. Green should be ground. Black should be hot from one switch and red should be hot from the other. Hook black to black and blue to red. If you wire blue and black together then one switch will turn on the fan and the light at the same time.

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!

no problem just wire the black to black and white to white. connect the ground and cap off the blue wire, its used only for ooptional light assy
