Hunter 27187 3-Speed Fan & Light Dimming Remote (for Hunter Originals Series only)

Comment: I have a gazebo-style screened porch attached to the house where this ceiling fan is located. The fan is a cast iron Hunter Original which had to be replaced after the motor seized after 4 years of use. (Hunter sent me a new motor with no hassle). This remote was a replacement for the same model remote that stopped working, and the only model that works with this fan. It does work and is easy to install (requires taking the entire fan assembly down), but the previous remote lost some of the functions after about 3 years. It would only run one speed of the fan, and several months later would not work the light. This unit IS located outside, but is under roof so it doesn't get rained on but is subjected to high humidity in the summer. This is the only remote that is recommended for the Hunter Original fans so it's a captive market. Amazon had one of the lowest prices for this remote. Hopefully this one will last a little longer.

Comment: This worked perfectly for an existing Hunter fan that I had. The remote had failed on it, so this was the only way I knew to replace it. This replacement remote came with an attachment to retrofit existing non-remote Hunter fans. When I opened the box, I cringed, hoping I wouldn't need it. In side the replacement remote there was a simple switch used to code the remote to the fan's control unit. It is similar to some cheap garage door openers. I played with the coding switch and quickly stumbled across the code to my present fan. I put all the rest of the equipment that came with the remote back in the box and into storage. I don't care for how this replacement remote sits on the room's light switch as it is easy to knock off, but I guess I shouldn't complain as it does work.

Comment: Yes the other reviews are right.
The light come on, the light goes off.
Not good at night.
And sometimes the light won't go off.
So you need a switch at the wall to shut off,
so much for remote.
But the remote fan switch works great.
Not for the faint of heart

Comment: I decided to pick up this remote after the original was lost 4 years ago. Just had to set the dip switches to match the fan and it took right off. Now my upstairs is much cooler.
