What happens when the ceiling fan won’t turn on with a remote?
If your Fanimation remote control won’t turn on the fan, you need to follow these steps:
- The first thing to do is to check that the remote’s batteries are not dead. If they are, replace them.
- The next thing is the placement that you have installed the batteries correctly.
- Make sure there is nothing blocking the remote’s way to the fan.
- Switch off the power from the circuit breaker to the fan, after that, examine the receiver of the fan to make sure that they are on the same settings as the remote.
- Use the fan’s instruction manual to reset the remote as well as the receiver.
After doing the above steps, if the ceiling fan won’t turn on with a remote, replace the remote and try again.
What is the learn button on a Fanimation remote?
Some Fanimation remotes come with a LEARN button inside the compartment of the remote’s battery and these models are the CRL4WH.
