  If your HAMPTON BAY Fan isn't starting, here are a few things to check: * First, examine the main and branch circuit fuses or breakers. * Second, check the line wire connections to the fan and the switch wire connections within the switch housing. * Third, verify the battery in the transmitter is working. * Fourth, make sure you're within the normal operating range of 10-20 feet. * Fifth, confirm that the dip switch settings are identical on both the transmitter and receiver. Remember to turn off the power supply before checking the dip switch settings.

Why is my HAMPTON BAY SOUTHWIND II 52-RMGII Fan so noisy?

  A noisy HAMPTON BAY Fan can be disruptive. Here's what to investigate: 1. Make sure all motor housing screws are properly tightened. 2. Check that the screws attaching the fan blade bracket to the motor hub are secure. 3. Ensure wire nut connections aren't rattling against each other or the switch housing's interior. 4. If you're using a light kit, tighten the screws securing the glassware and check the light bulbs are also secure. 5. Confirm the canopy has a small gap and isn't touching the ceiling. Also, verify your outlet box is secure and rubber isolator pads were used between the mounting plate and outlet box. Also, allow the fan a 24-hour “breaking in” period, as most new fan noises disappear during this time.

  If your HAMPTON BAY Fan is wobbling, try these steps: * First, ensure all blade and blade arm screws are tightened securely. * Second, check if blade levels are equal by measuring the distance from a point on the ceiling to the center of each blade. Any deviation should be within 1/8 inch. Rotate the fan to measure each blade. * Third, run the fan for ten minutes. If the issue continues, contact Customer Service for a balancing kit.
