Hunter Fan. Lights blinking on and off. I have read that it is the light governor and I should remove it and wire direct. I need more detail. Where is the light governor and how do I wire it directly? Thanks, Brent

The watt governor is inside of light assembly. it is a square black box. take this out and hook it direct, white wire to white wire, black wire to red wire. and this should solve the blinking lights. good-day!

    hi Carl, looks like you are the resident hunter fan expert! can you tell me if it is possible to replace a 85112-04 hunter remote receiver with a 27208 hunter universal remote receiver? too many wires and the colors dont match.

    the light governor or black box, is were the wires hook up to fan and the lights.blackbox should have a red wire and a white wire. remove this box, then hook it up direct. white wire to white wire, black wire to red wire. then you should be fine! here is technical support # for hunter fans, if you have another problem. 1-888-830-1326, may god bless and have a good day. the blackbox its what causes lights to blink. hunter fan governor part # is 98480-02.only replace with proper part, if you do not want to wire it direct. good-day!

SOURCE: Manual or directions

We have the same model. From the manual:
STEP 1: Slide the system switch to the HEAT or COOL position to program the corresponding system
STEP 2: Press PROGRAM to enter program mode. Heat or cool will be displayed on the LCD.
STEP 3: Press the UP or DOWN arrow. The Program hour and AM or PM indicator are flashing. Press to change the hour.
STEP 4: Press PROGRAM to change to the minute position. The current minute will be flashing. Press the UP or DOWN arrow to change the minute.
STEP 5: Press PROGRAM to change to the program temperature. The current temperature will be flashing. Press the UP or DOWN arrow to change the temperature.
STEP 6: Press PROGRAM again to move to the next program number. Repeat Steps 3-5 to change the remaining Weekday and Weekend Programs. [there are a total of 8 programs]
After cycling through all 8 programs, press PROGRAM again to return the display to normal. Press HOLD/RET at any time to exit the Program Mode.

TEMPORARY MANUAL OVERRIDE:
To temporarily change the current set temperature without affecting your program:

  • Press either ARROW and hold for about 1 second to enter the Manual Override Mode. When display flashes, you can release the key.
  • Press the ARROW to change to your desired Temperature
  • Press HOLD/RET to return to normal mode, or wait 15 sections for it to return automatically.
  • The current program number will flash to signify the Temporary Overide.
  • At the next program change time, the Temporary Override is cancelled, and the next program temperature becomes the setpoint temperature.
Hope this is what you need. God Bless.

SOURCE: Hunter 3 speed ceiling fan now turns slowly

Probably a bad capacitor. What model is it? If it completely wireless (in other words: no pull chains for light or fan) the capacitor is located on the receiver for the fan (in the canopy or the lower switch housing). Unless you are handy with a soldering iron, it is easier to purchase a replacement receiver.

I had the same problem. I found that the reverse button needs to be pressed really hard. It now works but I need to press that button really really hard.

SOURCE: I have the blinking light

This problem was posted on several sites, but this was the only one where I found both the cause of the problem and the solution. Mine is a Hunter 5 Minute Fan which came with no remote. And after about a month the two lights would blink together whenever I'd turn them on at the wall. So in case it helps for that type of fan or the same type of wiring arrangment here is what I did: POSITIVE SIDE: P1) Remove the light shade. P2) Remove the 3 screws that hold the cowel and lower the cowel. P3) Disconnect (pull apart) the black and red wire coupling. P4) Cut the coupling off of the black wire that comes up from the lights. P5) Strip off a quarter inch of jacket from that black wire. P6) Remove the wire nut that connects the black wire coming from the governor with the other black wire. P7) Re-use the wire nut to connect the black wire from step P5 with the other black wire from step P6. NEGATIVE SIDE: N1) Disconnect (pull apart) the white to white wire coupling. N2) Cut the coupling off of the white wire that comes up from the lights. N3) Strip off a quarter inch of jacket from that white wire. N4) Remove the wire nut that connects the white wire coming from the governor with three other white wires. N5) Set the governor aside (or just throw it away). N6) Re-use the wire nut to connect the white wire from step N3 with the other white wires from step N4. That's all, you're pretty much done! Turn on the power and test the light. If all is good, re-install the cowel and the light shade.

Remove light governor

I installed my Hunter Ceiling Fan a little over a year ago. A few nights ago my wife told me the lights in the ceiling fan blinked a few times when she turned it on. Over the next few day the problem got much worse. When I turned on the light switch, the lights would not turn on. After a few minutes the lights would begin to flash, like a strobe light. This flashing would last for about a minute.
This morning I removed the light kit. I noticed the watt regulator, part 98480-02. I connected the wires directly that were wired through the regulator. So far, the light now works fine!

We had the Hunter fan installed in April and have been very pleased with its performance. About a week ago whenever you turn on the fan light it flickers nonstop. Can you help me?

this is caused by the watt governor or the black box in fan to the lights. remove the watt governor and wire the lights directly. when removed, hook white wire to white wire, and black wire to red wire. black and red wires are always the hot wires. governor part number- 98480-02, have a good day !!

I have a fairly new hunter ceiling fan/light. Often when we turn the light on it continuously blinks on and off. To remedy this problem we need to cycle the switch (sometimes many times). I am assuming...

on most of the hunter fans there is a watt governor in it. if problems with lights blinking, remove watt govrnor, then wire it direct without governor. governor part # 98480-02, have a good day !!
