How to Wire a Hunter Ceiling Fan Remote Control

Hunter ceiling fans add a touch of style and comfort to any room, and a remote control makes it easy to adjust the fan speed and light settings from anywhere in the room. If you're not sure how to wire a Hunter ceiling fan remote control, don't worry - it's a relatively simple process that can be completed in a few minutes.

Materials you'll need:

Hunter ceiling fan with remote control
Wire nuts
Electrical tape
Screwdriver

Step 1: Turn off the power to the ceiling fan.

This is important for safety reasons. You can do this by turning off the circuit breaker or fuse that supplies power to the fan.

Step 2: Remove the canopy from the ceiling fan.

The canopy is the decorative cover that surrounds the base of the fan. It is usually held in place by a few screws. Remove the screws and carefully lift the canopy off the fan.

Step 3: Identify the wires.

There will be several wires coming out of the ceiling fan and the remote control. The wires will be color-coded, so it is important to identify the correct wires before connecting them.

Black wire: This is the hot wire and it should be connected to the black wire from the remote control.
White wire: This is the neutral wire and it should be connected to the white wire from the remote control.
Green or bare copper wire: This is the ground wire and it should be connected to the green or bare copper wire from the remote control.
Blue wire: This is the fan speed control wire and it should be connected to the blue wire from the remote control.
Orange wire: This is the light control wire and it should be connected to the orange wire from the remote control.

Step 4: Connect the wires.

Use wire nuts to connect the wires together. Make sure that the wires are securely twisted together and that the wire nuts are tightened properly.

Step 5: Wrap the electrical tape around the wire nuts.

This will help to insulate the connections and prevent them from coming loose.

Step 6: Reinstall the canopy.

Carefully lift the canopy back onto the ceiling fan and secure it with the screws.

Step 7: Turn on the power to the ceiling fan.

The ceiling fan should now be working properly with the remote control.
