My fan pullchain broke. Can I skip replacing the fan control switch and just install this. Ie..do I need a functioning pullchain switch first?

sort of, fan must be in highest speed before installing universal remote or you can remove pull chain wiring and put them together with a wire nut

It did not work well for me. It does not have reverse movement, the light control is treble and I don't like it at all

I don't know, but most fans have that option. We just use the pull chain. Can you go to the manufacturer web site?

I use the pull chain to change speed but have a wall switch for on/off maybe a reostat like a dimmer switch, I would check with Manufacturer to make sure the lower voltage doesn't damage fan motor

From Robert Richey: I do have such a switch. There was a repair man in MIlipitas California who offered to rewire the fan for a new switch but it was expensive so I just use the old switch and hope for the best.Sorry about that as I am a retired engineer not a repair man.

I do not believe you can add pull cord. It has two lights, one in the bottom and one lights up. But I think you can replace the wall switch with a remote control from Minka. The wall switch pairs with the fan and controls it.

on the ones I have seen, if you look behind the outlet box you will find the pull connector where the chain gets connected. If the switch is still good and all you need is a new chain, you should be able to attach a new chain or string to it

The remote did not work for some reason. I the kit for the Lutron stack switch came with the switch and an internal part for the fan. Once the internal part was installed the fan worked off the wall switch...but no reverse...so make sure you have the fan going in the correct direction before install.

If you are replacing a remote. I got one and sent it back. One has to install a receiver in the fan (you can't just program the remote). I talked to Hunter and they no longer made the remote that came with my fan(only way to control it) I ended up looking at the model number on my broken remote and I found a new one on ebay. It worked great. Good Luck.

Yes, just make sure you transfer the remote control module from the old fan and wire it in the same way on the new one. The remote control module are usually a add on device that is separate from the fan itself.

Yes there is a pull cord switch for both fan and light. But need an extension to reach if high ceiling. Our pull tab on the light has broken from chain so be gentle I guess when pulling on little tab.

I have purchased two of these, and both had separate pull chains for light and fan. Perhaps you are missing them.

Don't know, yet, sorry. I have not installed this fan so far. The one I already own has pull cords so I've got my fingers crossed!

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.

Mine has a pull chain for hi/low/off. However, I leave mine on high and put an inline remote on it so I can turn it on an off from the living room. You will need to wire it with some type cord to a standard 110V power supply. I had a power outlet already in the attic for an attic fan so I simply wired my fan via an extension cord to the power outlet. Easy.

I am having trouble attaching a light kit to this fan. The pull chain mechanism is in the way when I try to attach the light kit. Any advice for that? I thought it was the light kit so bought another (the one Amazon recommended with this fan) and have the same issue.

Mine did not come with a pull switch. Although we are able to control both light and fan with the wall switch as well. Remote is only necessary for fan speed.

Yes - if your fan is not working and everything else is - then it is probably the switch - which is a part that can easily break. I tired to fix the old switch but that is impossible. Just be sure to mark where each of the four wires go to make sure you get them back in the proper place - otherwise you will be guessing through trial and error. Good luck
