Ceiling fan will not spin fast

If it was bought at Home Depot or Lowes it probably has a lower end motor & then added weight from larger blades prevents it from spinning fast. You can also check the capacitor to make sure it's OK.

The light on the remote is a battery light. First mistake was buying a store brand fan which are mostly low-end parts. Try adding a different remote w/receiver.

The extender will make a difference.

try checking this article:

sounds like you have a lose wire, pull the light housing and check the connections. If all is good, drop the unit, and check the connections in the ceiling. You have a short in the power , and is showing you when the fan is spinning. I would not use light or fan till fixed.

Turbo swirl does actually mean anything it's just a description given by the manufacturer to make the fan sound good and appeal to your senses by making you think it works good. You need to look at the specs on the box and see if it has a recommended square footage of space for the usage. It could also give you something more specific regarding air flow but it may not even have this information.In my opinion I think this fan will be fine for only a 12 by 12 room.

Hello Brother,
Installation:
Hang your ceiling fan on the Quick Connect fan bracket and wire the ceiling fan according to the manufacturer's instructions. The three wires coming from your ceiling should match the three wires coming from your ceiling fan: black (positive or hot), white (neutral or negative) and green (ground wire).


Use the high, medium and low keys on the remote to adjust the Hampton Bay fan speed, then use the light key to dim the light and the off key to turn off the fan.


For REMOTE CONTROL FANS you cannot use with any variable speed or slide wall switches. The remote control function must be used with on & off switch outlets only.

Do the blades spin freely? If not, something may have fallen into the motor, jamming the blades. That would cause this. Also, make sure there is a good connection at the wire that feeds power to the fan motor (usually black, blue is the light) Good luck.

some fan models will only spin one way!! If there is not a switch on the side cover of fan.

There is a little black switch that reverses rotation so it's pulling air up. On low with this reversed it should be just fine.
