20 Most Recent Hampton Bay 13087 70450 Carousel II Ceiling Fan Questions & Answers

Ceiling Fan Direction These recommendations depend actually on the height and size of the room; the season; and the activity taking place in the room.

The basic fact of nature is that warm air rises to the top and cold air settles on the bottom. Air settles in layers from warm at the top to cold at the bottom, if left alone at equilibrium.

Ceiling fan recommendations:

In the winter
Set the fan to run counterclockwise (reverse; this looks clockwise as you are looking up). This will redirect the warm air from the ceiling and down the walls and into the living space where the people actually are. In a house, you would run the fan at a low speed so that you don't actually cool the warm air that you are moving downward. If you have a high ceiling, or are trying to heat a hall or a church, you may want to increase the fan speed so that the warm air will reach the living space as long as the fan speed does not create an unwanted downdraft at the people below. In the summer
In a room of normal height (8 - 10 ft), you should operate your fan so that it turns clockwise (this looks counterclockwise as you are looking up), causing a more directed downdraft, especially with the fan running slightly faster. This causes a wind-chill effect because the skin evaporates slight amounts of water from the sweat glands and thereby provides cooling through the skin's surface. However, the air is only moved but not cooled! You may find that you can turn your thermostat down a degree or two and save more money on energy costs. The air blowing down won't actually cool the room though, so you should turn the fan off when there are no people (or animals) in the room. In a high hall or church
It may be best NOT to run the fans at all in summer. This lowers the demand for cooling since the hot layer on top is an excellent insulation between the cool air near the floor (and the people) and the hot roof and outside.

A large, tall manufacturing hall would typically have different goals. There one would have a floor full of heat producing machinery plus the people operating it, working hard and welcoming a bit of a breeze. Then it would make sense to run the fans at fairly high speed to create a certain and directed downdraft. And with the shifts going throughout the days of the week, the fans should be running all the time and maybe in all seasons.

Finally, fans typically use 80-100 watts. When used properly, ceiling fans can really help to optimize the comfort level of the people and save energy and money.

Hampton Bay is an exclusive brand to Home Depot. They have replacement globes in their fan section. or you could try a lighting store or Lowes.

Program it to match the receiver's programming in the fan body:
In both the remote (transmitter) and receiver in the fan is a small (about half inch square) DIP switch (Dual In-line Package switch) that has four small sliding switches on it. The pattern of the switch positions must be the same on the transmitter's switch as the receiver's switch for the remote to work (it puts them on the same frequency). There should be an instruction booklet that comes with the remote telling you where exactly the transmit and receive DIP switches are

The switch may be burned out and not making contact. Replace switch with new one.

The motor is pretty much the entire fan and I have taken apart many of them but I do not see any fees able way that you would be able to get it back together if you could get a motor. I would make sure that the problem is not just the speed capacitor or the speed control switch, witch are fairly simple to replace.

Any Home Depot, or Lowes. Possibly Ace or True Value also. a quick google search will bring up many choices as well. for example http://www.amazon.com/Hunter-Fans-28964-36-Downrod/dp/B001RQ73BU

mcdevito75 here, There should be an additional switch, close to the fan swich on the fan motor to reverse the fan, Usually this is another shorter pull cahin just about 2 inches away from the fan switch (pull chain) this switch can also be a toggle or slide switch.. It"ll be clos eto the fan swich on the fan itself.

You should see a very small switch thaqt slides back and forth. athat will be the reversing switch. It will be located on the lower motors housing above the light or near the chain that you may pull to change the fan speeds if so equipped

Yes it is not that hard to replace an existing receiver with a new one. Caution: Turn off the power to the fan at the service panel. Remove the cover next to the ceiling which normally will have screws on the side or on the bottom under a plastic cover you remove by turning or pulling off. Inside the mounting bracket you will see the receiver. Carefully pull it out and take notice of how the wires from the receiver are connected and how the receiver was placed inside the mount. Look at the dip settings on the old receiver and set the new receiver exactly the same. The transmitter and receiver dip settings must be the same or it will not work so it is critical the new receiver settings are set exactly as the one you are removing. Now, remove one wire nut at a time and connect the new receiver exactly as the old one was connected. Make sure to tighten the wire nut securely with no bare wires showing. Slightly pull on the wires to make sure they are secure. Tape this up with electrical tape as a security measure. Once you get all the wires connected put the receiver back inside the mount just like it was. Replace the cover and then go turn the power back on. You are done.

Home Depot sells them separately.
