We have 2 Hunter ceiling fans with remotes. We can get the one in the bedroom to work great but the one in the living room now will not turn on the fan or light. Also when we are trying to get the living room fan to work it is turning the bedroom fan on and off. Any suggestions?

I had this exact problem. I bought two Home Decorator fans from Home Depot and installed them in separate rooms in my house. They have LED lights. I know for a fact that I wired them right because the model fan in Home Depot fan was wired the same and my remote worked perfectly with that fan. Both fans at my house had the same issue of the light not turning all the way off but dimming worked and fan speeds worked. LONG story short, I had another fan in the Master Bedroom that was turned on. When I turned the power to that fan off (wall switch toggled to off), both of the new fans worked!!! Now I need to figure out how to wire the Master bedroom fan correctly (9 wires in one box) but at least I know what the issue was!

Sounds like all the dip switches are set to factory still. Easy enough to fix.
Slide open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control and remove the fan's canopy against the ceiling. Then just change the switch to a different setting but make sure that the remote and fan have the same setting. Repeat this in each room so that all the fans have a different setting to each other.


Hope this makes sense.

they have new remotes at lowes or home depot they are around 45-55 dollars they work with all brands or size,good luck

yes they can they sell them at all home depot stores just need to take them apart to put it in good luck

check your grounds and all other connections. remote wiring has to be precise. somes times not for the do it your selfer. all the labor youve encountered somes the cheap can turn out to be very expensive.

It could be that a neighbor has a ceiling fan with the same CODE that yours is set at. It does actually occur.
Try setting the REMOTE(Transmitter) AND the RECEIVER, located tucked in among the electrical wiring inside the CANOPY which is also called the 'Hanger Bracket', to a different but SAME CODE for each device. The RECEIVER, which will have four 'dip switches', as does the REMOTE, will be a small rectangular box with a short antenna from one end.
Good luck. :)

Sounds like you could have a problem with the fan....but there is also an equaly good chance it's the wiring of the fan. Perhaps a loose connection. If you are not familiar with checking electrical connections, you probably need to call an electrician to check the wiring SOON, before there is a short. If all connections are good, then you will know it's the fan (or the remote receiver on the fan).
Hope this helps!

USE A DIFFERENT DIP CODE TO THE SECOND RECEIVER AND REMOTE

YOU MUST TRY CHANGEING THE CHANNEL ON THE REMOT AND TRY IT THEN IF IT DOES NOT WORK YOU MUST TAKE DOWN THE FAN AND CHECK WHAT CHANNEL THE RECIEVER HAS AND MATCH IT TO THE REMOTE.

Sounds like the remote receiver units (located where the mains connect to the fans) took a surge and have failed.
