I just installed a Minka Aire Napoli with remote. The receiver in the fan gets power. I did NOT hook up the wall switch (no access to the wires from a switch). Following the programming instructions, I tried several codes but no matter what code I try on the remote, it doesn't control the fan.
Any ideas? Mike |

1. How did you wire it 2. What type of switch is it, just a regular on off? 3. What was there before the fan and how was it wired? |

Fan with pull chain was there before. The box in the ceiling has hot, neutral and ground. There is no wall switch. The remote receiver has a black & white on one side and a black, white & blue on the other. I wired hot & neutral to the black & white on the one side. I wired black, white & blue to black, white & blue on the fan. I tried several times to 'program' the receiver by holding the stop button down for 3 seconds within 60 of turning on the breaker. There are no dip switches on this model receiver. |

Try wiring the fan without the receiver and see what happens. Also, make sure the dip switches in the fan and remote match. |

Issue may be solved: The remote sold to me with the fan is not the correct one. The RC210 remote that I have now is for the black, dip switched receiver. The RC212 remote that I will be swapping for tonight is for the green, non-dip switched receiver. Check your remote/receiver compatibility at time of purchase. The green receiver is fairly new and the remotes may be harder to come by just now. Mike |

| morrisma | That was the problem. The new remote programs the receiver as expected and the fan & light work beautifully. | 9/8/2008 3:57:40 PM |
