Hello Group.

I just installed a ceiling fan but the darn thing turns soooooo sloooooow.
I called hunter tech support which is the worst i have ever seen.

the fan turns very slow on the fastest setting it turns as fast as the
slowest setting should turn about 50rpms. tech support told me that it
could be the reciver for remote. i dont think it is.
i think i may have to take the whole fan down again and check to see if all
the wires are making a good connection. i had a hard time with the 2 wires
that come out of the ceiling and am wondering if they are connected but just
a little loose would that cause the fan to turn sooooo slooooooow.

thank you.

i did that search and came up with the bad capacitor. i hope it is located
in the reciever for the remote because that is what they are sending me.
tech support for hunter suck and the wire diagrams on both the web site and
in the box do not match the wires I have.
so i guess i can leave the wires the way they are and hope this capacitor is
located within the remotes reciever.

thanks to all for their help.

Unless the fan's motor is inside the remote control, I don't think you'll
find the capacitor there.

they are actually sending me the receiver that sits in the fan.
its not that I had an idea of what was wrong when I was talking to her (
hunters tech support)
I just didn't get the feeling she was going to get it right. and couldnt
see how it could be the receiver that was doing this.
I did get 2 of these fans and going to install the other one in the bedroom
tomorrow.
I should have just came here. i will call their tech support again and
mention the capacitor to them.
i am sure if i hand them the answer they will send me the right part.
thank you again.

I'm with you on this one.

Like complaining the volume on the tv doesn't get high enough, so they
send you a new tv remote.

I hope you get a good answer on this, I have 2 identical fans on a
common wall switch, and when independently or simultaneously the one is
much much slower than its twin. Like you I could have made a boo boo
wiring it, but out of dozens I've installed, this is the only one with
the slows.

would it make a difference if you wired it parallel vs single. or how ever
its called or if there is even a choice. i am thinking if the juice has to
go through one fan to get to the other.

My hunter fan has a dual capacitor in it and when it is removed, the
fan runs slowly (and overheats).

You have a defective capacitor.

The others have solved your problem, but for the record, you shouldn't
make a connection whose tightness you'll have any doubt about later
but I've never seen a case where a loose connection did something but
diddn't work completely. I'm not talking about a case where a light
goes on and off, but even that might prove my point. It may be so
loose that it goes off some times, but when it is on, it's usually at
full brightness. If it's not fully bright, it's because it's about to
off again.




thank you.

Do you have any qualms about taping a wire nutted connection?

I don't tape mine, but that's not because of qualms. Would I have
qualms about relying on tape to work after the wire nuts came loose?
I think so.

I don't think the wirenuts whould some loose.

There have been threads here involving other people than me about
wirenuts and taping.

BTW, I'm not a pro and only do a few connections a year, some years
none.

nope and on a few that is what I did. however even tho i tried it is still
possible that I made a mistake someplace. i didnt believe it would be the
reciever for the remote unless someone it is telling the fan that the
highest setting is about 50rpm and the slowest is about 20rpm.

I just installed the second fan.
Same problem. takes almost 6 seconds to make 1 rotation on the slowest
speed.
high speed is about 60rpm.

Definitely not trying to be condescending, or anything, but it sounds like
you need some professional help in the shape of an electrician. Even they

the one connectiont that gave me a little problem was the 1 white thick wire
comming out of the ceiling. according to the instructions i was supposed to
connect 4 wires to it.
the instructions are also missing info. i think what i will do is put the
other fan in the bedroom and see if it works. then i will put that motor on
the fan in the living room.

It looked like normal sloppiness. Someone hadn't considered that
"revolutions per minutes" doesn't make sense.

When I saw the thread title, I thought you were trying to FIND the

blowing on me all day. I'd like some relief from that at home, but
the missus insists on having fans running all the time. I was hoping
to find out that there is a really slow fan out there that I could

or you can take lessons from me on wiring a ceiling fan .
to be honest with you i am still wondering about the ground wire. I am not
sure
if it is right.
i think ceiling fans work great with an air conditioner even if it is set on
the slowest speed.
i love it and once i find out about the ground wire i will be putting the
other one up in the bedroom.
i can understand your wanting to get away from it from time to time. right
now i have the AC and fan on the lowest settings.

Actually, I have 4 ceiling fans in my home and none are grounded,
The guy that installed the electric box in the ceiling only used 2
conductor wire (black and white). I tied into that - white to white
and black to black.

When I wired up the fans, I just wired the green ground wire on the
fans to the small screw on the electric box in the ceiling. Maybe
someday I will run a ground wire from the boxes to the circuit breaker
box, but the fans work fine without one.

You don't need the ground wire connected to anything to make your
fans work.

world's slowest ceiling fan... My wife loves the fans, and I hate
them. I work in an over air-conditioned environment and have cold air
blowing on me all day. I'd like some relief from that at home, but
the missus insists on having fans running all the time. I was hoping
to find out that there is a really slow fan out there that I could
tolerate. Maybe I should just yank the capacitors on the ones we
have.

or you can take lessons from me on wiring a ceiling fan .
to be honest with you i am still wondering about the ground wire. I am
not
sure
if it is right.
i think ceiling fans work great with an air conditioner even if it is set
on
the slowest speed.
i love it and once i find out about the ground wire i will be putting the
other one up in the bedroom.
i can understand your wanting to get away from it from time to time.
right
now i have the AC and fan on the lowest settings.

Actually, I have 4 ceiling fans in my home and none are grounded,
The guy that installed the electric box in the ceiling only used 2
conductor wire (black and white). I tied into that - white to white
and black to black.

When I wired up the fans, I just wired the green ground wire on the
fans to the small screw on the electric box in the ceiling. Maybe
someday I will run a ground wire from the boxes to the circuit breaker
box, but the fans work fine without one.

You don't need the ground wire connected to anything to make your
fans work.

Thanks Jim.

the fan does work fine. i was just worried about safety issues i may have
been unaware of.
fan works great - no wobble even .
looks like tomorrow the bedroom fan is going up .

Hello Jim:

when i called the first time to hunter tech i was told it was the reciever
and a new one is being sent.
i recieved it the other day and that one looks like the one used in the
manual.
i am begining to think that the tech lied or wasnt honest when they said i
had the "newer" reciever.
i just think they didnt want to take the chance that i would look to return
it if i knew i had an older reciever. this one looks newer to my newbie
eye and does not have the red or white neutral in wire.
right now 1 fan was installed flush and i will be dropping it down a bit.
while doing that i could just change the reciever. not sure what i will do
but will look to see if there was any kind of recall.

My spouse just brought home a new hunter ceiling fan, so I will be
doing what you are doing pretty soon now as soon as it gets put on the
honey do list.
The way it works around my house is that all household benefits
pretty much grind to a halt when the honey do list has unfinished
chores on it.

LOL! that's exactly what I thought.... I spent a quite a while working the
size of my "casablanca" (the movie) fan control down so it would fit in a
standard switch box. I can go anywhere from 10 rpm to the standard speeds!!!

Email me if you'd like a copy of the CCT, and you're electrically competent!

Hello Group.

I just installed a ceiling fan but the darn thing turns soooooo sloooooow.
I called hunter tech support which is the worst i have ever seen.
