I'm having the same issue, which is how I found your complaint. I googled the issue and your problem was the first to pop up. I have no idea how to fix it and I am wondering if you had any luck, or if you just went out and bought a new one?

The light on the remote is a battery light. First mistake was buying a store brand fan which are mostly low-end parts. Try adding a different remote w/receiver.

A switch is just a break between the power source and the fan, so leave the dimmer on high and use the remote to operate the fan.

You will need to remove the fan, being sure to turn off power first. Then open it up and remove the old switch, and install the new switch. If you take the old one into a Home Depot or similar store they can help you match the switch. There are many different types, so take the old one in. I can't speak to the specific steps, but it should be pretty simple once the headache of dismounting the fan is over.

you can just go to lowes or home depot they carry them there easy to put in just use two people to place it up works a lot better dont forget turn power off first, good luck

the light switch is bad its allowing a small percentage of volts to pass by the connection.

hello lovesun... usually on the fans with out pull chains there is a switch on the top of the motor housing which you have to use to change the direction. Joe
