Clicking on the ceiling fan remote repeatedly is not the proper way to troubleshoot an operations problem. Fans that shut off or change speeds randomly likely have a settings issue. The fan's dip switch settings must be arranged in the correct order to receive and transmit the functions you select with the remote control. Placing more than one fan in close proximity also affects the fan's performance. Enjoy the cooling effects of your ceiling fan without pulling the cord continuously. A few adjustments to a dip switch could make difference.
- Remove the back from the remote control, then remove the battery. Locate and remove a small panel that covers the dip switches. Examine and remember the four switch settings. Note which switches read 'On' and 'Off.'
- Turn off the ceiling fan at the fan and the main power supply. Flip the breaker controlling the fan to the 'Off' position.
- Stand on a stepladder or a sturdy chair to reach the ceiling fan. Remove the glass light cover by unscrewing the screws or sliding the globe to the unlock position. Skip this step if your ceiling fan has no light kit. Instead, remove the cap in the center of the fan.
- Look for a small rectangular or square-shaped receiver box. Remove the receiver box cover to look at the dip switch settings. You will see four sliding buttons. The button configuration must match the remote control's configuration. Change the dip switch settings if necessary, moving each of the four switches to the matching 'On' or 'Off' settings.
- Change the dip switch settings of additional fans within a close proximity of other fans. Each fan needs a different frequency -- a function controlled by the setting configuration. Pair up dip switch settings between the fan and the remotes that control them.
- Close the ceiling fan receiver panel. Replace the light globe, screwing it into place. Remove the ladder and turn the power on. Test your remote control to verify the settings you selected are correct.

Things You Will Need
Tip
It is easier to verify dip switch settings before installing the fan on the ceiling. Ceiling fans run best on the factory settings.
Warning
If the light or fan will not work after adjusting the dip switch, you have a different problem. Contact the manufacturer for more troubleshooting options.

Universal Harbor Breeze Remote Control for Ceiling Fan
One of the most popular ceiling fans’ brands is Harbor Breeze. It is exclusively available in Lowe’s home improvement store. Last month, I bought a ceiling fan of this brand. It came with a remote control. As it was the first time for me to purchase a ceiling fan, I had a difficulty to synchronize the remote to the fan. Of course there was an instructional manual came in the package. But since I am not familiar with the tool, it took time to program the Harbor Breeze ceiling fan remote. Actually it was just simple programming instruction. But some people especially those who never do this thing may experience the same difficulty as I did. So, I want to share the steps in programming the ceiling fan remote from what I have learn before.
First of all, of course the Harbor Breeze fan should have been installed on your ceiling. I am sure you find no problem to install the fan as it is just the same as installing other ceiling fans. To program the Harbor Breeze ceiling fan remote you should first shut the electricity off. Then, access the circuit breaker switches of the remote by opening the cover of the service panel.

Harbor Breeze Universal Ceiling Fan and Light Remote Control
Now, the look at the back of the Harbor Breeze ceiling fan remote and take the battery compartment cover out. Within this way, you can see the concealed DIP switches. As they are located in the bottom of the battery compartment, you will not see it of the battery compartment cover is not removed. That is why you should remove it first. Compare the DIP switches you see in the remote and the one on the fan’s receiver. In order to work as it should be, both DIP switches should match one to another.
After you are sure that the two DIP switches match, you can put the battery in the compartment again and close the compartment with the cover. Turn on the electricity for the next step of the Harbor Breeze remote synchronization. In order to synchronize the switches to the fan, look for the “Lo”, “Med”, and “Hi” buttons and press them. The process will take 20 minutes to run. Wait patiently until it finishes. After it is successfully programmed or synchronized, the Harbor Breeze ceiling fan remote is ready to control the fan. It is very easy right?
