Have an import ceiling fan w/remote, no switch that says reversible but has no instructions on how to reverse. Have tried all of the suggestions given, except wiring, to no avail. Any suggestions?

SOURCE: Ceiling fan does not reverse with remote

Just reporting that I called Hampton Bay about the remote not working to reverse the fan. I was told that I needed to have the fan running on low and then press reverse on the remote control. If that doesn't work, customer service told me to press reverse while running the fan on medium. (Some fans are set to reverse on low and others on medium.) Nowhere in the manual is this addressed. I had been pressing reverse with the fan turned off, which seemed to me a logical thing to do. Live and learn.

try opening remote control
vary (4) "dip" switch(s) positions
when I opened mine-all four were up
I moved the 2nd switch down and it worked!

SOURCE: reversing direction on remote controlled fan

There is no switch. Put the fan on high then hit the reverse button. Your fan should stop, reverse and you'll bet all set.

SOURCE: How to wire a remote control ceiling fan, without using remote.

If you don't want the to use the remote you don't have to, but you don't have enough wires to switch the upper light, the lower light, and the fan. You can, however, switch the upper and lower lights together if that's okay. In order to do that you'd connect the white from the ceiling box to the white (neutral) on the fan, then the green from the ceiling box to any green(ground) wires on the fan, then the black from the ceiling box to the black(motor) from the fan, then the red from the ceiling box to the blue and orange (lights) from the fan. I'm assuming that the black and red in the ceiling box are also in the switch box where the fan/light control switch is going. Those are the ones you'll connect to the controller.

SOURCE: HOW DO make the HAMPTON BAY UC7083T CEILING FAN go

Very quickly press each fan speed from 3-2-1. I just swipe my finger across the buttons. The fan will start to reverse. It can be a bit finicky and won't work every time, so just keep swiping across the buttons until it changes direction. I discovered this after I noticed the fan would reverse direction when my toddler played with the remote. I just tried combinations until I figured it out.
