How to install a remote control ceiling fan without a remote

- In this video, I demonstrate how to install a ceiling fan that would normally have a remote and remote module without it. This works for the three wire fans but the two wire fans can be more difficult as, the module is built into the fan.
Really appreciate your video. I wanted a fan WITHOUT a remote, but the one we liked came with a remote. We already have a separate wall switch for the red wire (light), but I was not sure how I could install this fan and not have to use the remote. Now, the remote can stay in the box. We just use the 2 wall switches - one for fan and one for light. Thanks!
Thanks, glad you found it useful
Good video! Great way to bypass the remote!
This was really helpful. Thank you!
My remote has the reverse fucntion built into tht remote no mechanical switch on the fan. How would I keep the remote for the reverse and Wal switch the light and fan?
I’m not sure about that one, dose the fan have a blue wire in addition to the black, white, and green wire? If not, the controller module might be inside the motor housing itself.
Did you keep the Glendale
I don’t remember if I still have one
So I will need to add a switch for the speed or with the normal switch will be in high only? Thanks
What if I only have one switch
How much more difficult is it to convert a fan to single speed with only 2 wires coming out of the motor? I was planning to convert a HB Redington III to single speed via wall control since the electronics were fried/missing.
Question please: so you direct wired to a wall switch to control fan on/off and speed. How did you connect the light to work independently of the fan on/off? Thank you
There was already wiring for separate fan and light controls.
I think that switch is a three way or two way switch it allows for that, you must have wired one to the other it's in a series so the switch next to it is wired for the other switch as well. the dimmer switch is a cool touch man I like that.
Is that a ceiling fan switch in the middle or a dimmer switch? What brand? What do you call it to search as we're trying to one that has 2, one for the light and one for the fan.
I have a old regency fan with light. One single pole switch so fan comes on with light. Electrician says it needs remote. I don’t want remote but I don’t want fan on and light on at same time . Another fixture in kitchen is also on switch.
I know i am probably not stating clearly but I’ll see if I get response.
Can I add pull switch to fan? Will I have to buy and use remote? Would I have to change remote module in fan or will universal remote work?
Whether or not you can add a remote depends on how the fan is wired. If you can find a remote for your model of fan, that would probably be the easiest solution. You mentioned that it’s older so I assume it’s probably a fan with an ac motor so my guess is that you could probably add a pull switch but it would only be single speed unless you added another capacitor.
Trying to do same with Hunter Fan/Light that the remote stopped functioning. (Not a battery issue) My question is how you wired this at the wall to be able to use two switches? Thanks for any help you can offer.
I didn’t change anything in the wall this room was already set up for the light and fan to be controlled separately. So, the ceiling had 4 wires: fan hot, light hot, neutral, and ground.
Great instructional video
I have a fanimation slinger V2 with the stupid remote receiver. I have 2 switches on the wall controlling fan motor (black) and light (red) independently. Is there a way to convert this fan to not require the remote for the light? (prefer to turn fan on at switch also) and just keep the remote for the light temperature control and reversing function? I installed this tonight and the mess of wires is a pain. Also it doesn't work. At all. I made sure the remote and receiver codes match. No dice. Before I return this POS is there a way to bypass the light portion at least so I can turn it the light at the switch using the red wire? (black is connected to input power right now). Your video gives me hope. I rarely use the fan anyway, but I want the light at the switch so I don't have to hunt for the remote.
How many wires come out of the downrod? And is the control module in the canopy? If there is only a black and a white wire, the control module is inside of the motor housing and it’s much more difficult to directly connect to the switches. If there is a black, white, and blue wire coming out of the down rod going into a control module in the canopy then you can normally bypass the control module and connect the black to black, white to white, and red to blue.
I have one of these fans and am wondering how to reverse the direction for the summer months without the remote
There is a reverse switch on the top of the motor housing.
What about the capacitor? I have a fan I installed and bypassed the receiver the capacitor was in the fan housing so I assumed it was integrated into the circuit already. I think some remotes have them in the receiver but unsure
The capacitor in this fan was already integrated in the circuit. Without the remote, it is basically a one speed fan with no off switch on itself, the only way to control it is with the wall switch.
The Glendale has metal pullchains so it’s an older model what year is that one from?
2013 I believe.
Do you have any advice if the fan motor has three wires? Red, brown, and grey? The light still has the blue and white wires. I have two wall switches so my ceiling wires are the basic red, black, white, and green.
Not sure on that one sounds like it might be dc.
So can I just buy a switch with speed control? I lost my remote and wall switch only turns on/off the light and it’s been hot af
You can, if the fan has a remote control module that can be easily removed and it’s a standard ac motor. But also keep in mind that if you only have one switch the speed control will dim the light when it’s on a setting lower than high.
We did this, but now some of our lights are now a bright blue light and others are a yellow light. Any idea how to change them without the remote?
Hi, Im pretty sure you can help me. I want to bypass and avoid the need to use the remote control of my fan and its light. I want to control both functions using my wall switch (it is 1 gang with 2 buttons: one for the light and one for the fan).
The remote module is still in the box, so is not connected. My fan has 5 wires coming out of it (blue-white coming from the led light; and black-red-white coming from the rotor). From the ceiling I only have 3 wires hanging down (neutral-fan-light) which come all the way from the wall switch. Can you please tell me how to connect them together in order to be able to turn on the led light with one of the buttons, and turn on the fan with the other button?
p.s. I dont know if its important, but I dont want to be able to change speeds. I only want it to be just one: the fastest.
Thanks in advance!
Dose the fan have a built in capacitor and reverse switch? The three wires coming from the motor might mean it is DC powered, in that case the remote module is also a DC motor driver and the motor will not function without it. What brand/model is the fan?
thanks. yes my new harbor breeze fan has a remote module inside (easy to get to) and only black/white coming out the top. i have 2 wall switches, and black/white/blue out of the ceiling. looks like 'after' the remote it is also black/white/blue, so do you think i could bypass (and remove) the remote and connect like to like directly and it will work with my two wall switches?
@@HI-FI_ yes, the motor es DC. Apparently, DC motors only work with remote control modules. This sucks!!
@@bitkahuna yes it should work.
Good video… I have two wall switches one for light and one for fan.
I don’t want to use the remote, that came with my fan. I don’t want turning my lights on or off dependent on weather I can find the little remote.
I just want to independently control my fan and my lights with the wall switch.
Thanks, again.
No problem, I’m glad you found it useful.
I’ve got a similar situation but except from the fan I don’t have black wire I have a white and blue that are connected and a gray pink and red …. To the house I have red white black and ground … is this possible to skip the remote?
The gray, pink and red makes me think that the fan might be DC, or wired differently. I’m not sure that you can skip the remote module.

Taught nothing, quit this job.
I’m not sure what you mean.
