What to do if Harbor Breeze 42299 Fan remote control does not work?
- DDavid MartinAug 5, 2025
If your Harbor Breeze Fan's remote control isn't working, a power surge might have cleared its memory. Try switching the power off and on again, then within 30 seconds, press and hold the “LEARN” button (in the battery compartment) for 5 seconds. The fan should turn on at low speed and the light off, confirming the SMART SYNC is active. Also, check if the battery needs replacing with a new 12V battery. If you have multiple fans nearby, turn off the others and re-sync the remote.
