Would be interesting to know if the transmitter was RF, or
IR, or what kind of signal.

All the ones I've seen are RF. It's hard to imagine that there is
such interference from something that even with the transmitter right
next to the receiver it won't work. As others have suggested, I'd be
calling the help line at the manufacturer.

We just had a higher end ceiling fan (Casablanca) installed
in our
bedroom. *To avoid having to wire for a wall control, we
opted for the
wireless remote control model. *The install was done by a
recommended
and local licensed electrician.

The fan is up but won't respond to the remote. *The initial
installer
suspected the receiver unit in the fan base was faulty, so
we
exchanged and got a new receiver/remote kit. *They then
installed this
one, and it still didn't work. *We tried the remote as close
as six
inches from the installed receiver, and yes, the batteries
were fresh.

The company senior electrician came out and hard wired the
fan
(bypassing the remote) and it works fine, *He took the
remote and
receiver to his shop for testing. *Apparently they both work
fine, so
now he suspects that there is some type of interference
precenting the
remote and receiver from working together.

We live a few miles from an airport and have a flight path
close to
overhead. *We get plane traffic perhaps 10 times per day.
Other than
that, our neighborhood is like any other in town. *In the
same bedroom
we have an LCD TV that works fine by remote. *A few feet
down the hall
is my wireless router, which services laptops all over the
house.

Anybody encountered anything similar, or know if this
"interference"
idea is a valid one? *I am now concerned that the electrical
contractor will ding us for 6+ hours troubleshooting when
the intitial
install quote was 2 hours.
