@BorsellinoHomeServices

just start removing any screws you see and eventually you'll get it down. If not... SLEDGE HAMMER!!! Just kidding...

Thanks! Will be showing this to my husband and attempting to do. Hopefully he will see my attempts then stop me and finish up lol

Looks great, and with a brighter bulb installed that’s all the light you need. kzread.infoUgkxWF88GpljEn-0o34vtLFazEQ5h5Q33SjU As far as ease of installation- this was my first ceiling fan and it took about 3 hours because I had no idea what I was doing and also it’s helpful to have a second set of hands and a magnetic drill bit. Works great.

I have finally just removed an old Hampton Bay ceiling fan. Here are the steps: 1) Remove the globe with the finger tighten screws being careful not to drop; 2)Unscrew the light fixture assembly and detach with the wire clip (or wire nuts); 3) Remove the blades one at a time by turning the blades until the screws line up with the open access area on the motor housing; 4) Twist the small ring next to the ceiling clockwise to release it and let it drop; 5) Remove the canopy section by removing the 4 screws; 6) disconnect the wires attaching the unit to the electric box in the ceiling; 7) (the big one!) Slide the ball joint out of the ceiling bracket through the single access point; 7) remove the ceiling bracket from the electric box. Hope this helps as there are many variations of Hampton Bay ceiling fans.

yeah i don't see why not other than the fact you'd have a big hole... some fans come with a blank cover for that exact reason. Depends on the fan you might be able to find one aftermarket

you could try drilling the heads of the screws off....... may work... may not.... are you sure they are the right screws? did you strip the screws or they just won't turn? are you using a drill or screwdriver??

most times just the light switch unless there is power going to the box and then the switch is on a switch leg off the light. Always test it with a tester and don't just assume the power is off because the switch is off..... I know from experience!

I have a similar Hampton Bay fan with the cover that twists on to the ceiling plate. However the cover is stuck and will not twist. Have you run into this before and if so how did you remove the cover? Thanks, Brian

@@BorsellinoHomeServices I discovered that there were four hidden screws up near the ceiling or the top of the cover plate. They were hidden by some rubber plugs that looked exactly like the decorative rivets that were around the top of the cover plate. I was able to pry them off and remove the screws to remove the cover for plate

Did you get this from Lowe’s? If you did this is actually a Harbor Breeze Lynstead. Hampton Bay is a Home Depot brand.

As long as you shut the power off and do it carefully, you should be able to do this! A light will mount on a fanbox no problem!

Hmmm... Worth a shot. If you take it down and see if you can pull the motor housing apart and see if you can vacuum it and maybe get a can of compressed air for cleaning computer parts and spray it in there.? Worth a shot before having to just buy a new fan. I'm not very good with electronics. It might also just be a loose wire somewhere. Do you hear a noise when you turn the fan on? Like the motor humming? Might also just be time for a new fan...

This guy (me) wonders what he should have done that would have been "easier"? Yes, I did not have instructions in front of me of how the fan was assembled, so I had to figure it out as I went along. I'm not an electrician and I'm not a professional fan installer. I'm a carpentry/contractor with 20 years in the field. So if that's what you mean by me not having any idea what I'm doing, then okay 😃👍

Why would you post an instructional video when you aren't sure what you are doing? "We're not exactly sure how this thing comes down"

@BorsellinoHomeServices

I got it down didn't I?! LOL... To answer your question, it's simply because a lot of people don't have the basic knowledge to figure it out sI assume that is what brought you here isn't it? I recorded as I went along and figured it out. Yes, if I had the original instruction manual I would have been able to tell you exactly what part did what, but that is rare to have on hand when disassembling things. This isn't HGTV or This Old House. This is real life. Hopefully it helped you get your fan down though! 😉
