Thanks for the video man!!! Solved my problem with hunter fan! I replaced my pull-switch first to no avail, then I found your video and pulled the little doohickey out
Looks great, and with a brighter bulb installed that’s all the light you need. ru-vid.comUgkxWF88GpljEn-0o34vtLFazEQ5h5Q33SjU As far as ease of installation- this was my first ceiling fan and it took about 3 hours because I had no idea what I was doing and also it’s helpful to have a second set of hands and a magnetic drill bit. Works great.
thanks man, this worked on my 52106 hunter builder indoor ceiling fan.didnt think i had one, then you pointed out the little label, they had it tucked away hidden. chatted with Hunter for help, they just wanted me to buy more crappy parts.
Those look awesome! I just picked up a few barrels for free from a car wash. Going to have these setting around a puking skeleton I have to get everything put together yet for this year! I'm in the process of making a leering skeleton to sit him in the graveyard this year.. im super excited!!!😀
It was a simple fix for sure! I did mine this week, Hint! replace your old hot incandescent bulbs with cooler LED bulbs. And take the light fixture off by unplugging unit! Much easier
Hi, i got 4 ceiling fans that came with remote control modules. I asked my electrician to install them bypassing the remote control module because i wanted to control them just by the wall switch. Guess what? All of them burned! I need help on how to correctly wiring them. The electrician says that the capacitor is on the remote control module, and when it was removed, then the fan didnt had capacitor and got burned. Please help!!! I already got new motors as replacement, but still want to avoid the remote control modules.
Positive temperature coefficient thermistor. It limits the current going to the bulbs by dropping resistance as they get hotter. It works like you girl friend, the hotter she gets, the lower her resistance is! Easy way to remember. They make NTC thermistors also. They work opposite. No fun there!
My only issue is it a real safety hazard or is it a way for Hunter to make money because of the many, many people who have had the same issue. That or just terrible engineering?
Thank You for this video!! My fan has been broke for years and I decided to fix it tonight!! This was the problem!!! Some people call it a “thermal switch.” Idk, but it’s eliminated now and I got lights!! THANKS AGAIN!!
Thank you! Your video is one of many which mention the same fix, but that made me feel confident this was the right answer before I started taking things apart.
I called Hunter because of this problem on a 2 month old fan. They said they would send me a replacement capacitor. So I suggest if the fan is not old, you try contacting HUNTER for the part.
Its good that they finally listened. Back when this was filmed they only sent out the light housing because they didnt know why it was doing it. Good to see they listened now if they would just solve the issue.
Thank I appreciate it. It was a ton of fun. Thank for noticing the daytime nighttime blend. I tried it a couple years ago and really liked it so i tried it again.
Looks fantastic, how long is it? I am surprised that even new, there are problems. I was watching a video with a guy that bought a 2 year old Prevost with 6000 miles and he put $15,000 into it the first 6 months. The interviewer said it was common to spend money on even new units in the first year. I was surprised that within 2 years, lots of parts are no longer available. Have fun and follow the sun. Love your videos
I am so glad I searched this. I just installed a Hunter fan and I have power going to the sockets, but the lights won't come on. However, before I put it all together, I checked with my voltage meter and my main wires had power but the little wires did not. I was puzzled, but I kept on treading. Now I know. Thanks!!
Mine has a black box that's bigger than that it has some numbers on it idk what they are for i think its a regulation for power, idk what to do I just messed with a grey wire and lost 2nd setting to fan maybe I could use that to power it since it's spliced or no? Lol I'm so dumb
