My older Minke fanstutters when I press the reverse button, but continues in the same direction. Will buying a new remote fix this problem?

If the fan stutters, that means the remote is sending a signal. I have not had a remote fail by sending a wrong signal, but only by not sending a signal at all -- that is just my limited experience of course. Your problem might be the receiver in the fan, which is easy to replace if you can find the right one.

I had the same problem until I realized the pins set upside down from my old remote. it has been working fine ever since. Good luck.

Same problem here. Remote worked great for about a year and a half, now a bunch of my buttons don't work - or when they do they repeat. I finally had to throw it away and am now researching for a replacement.

I have a MinkaAire fan in the other room and this remote worked. It really depends on the receiver. My MinkaAire fan had an older receiver with 4 dip switches like the remote. When I matched the dip switches it worked. If it doesn't work at first, it may help to turn off the circuit breaker to the fan for a few minutes and turning it back on.

I have four Minka fans in different rooms of the house, and have reprogrammed the remotes to prevent interference. It is pretty simple to do. There's little toggle switches in the remote that you can flip, and the fan "learns" the new code.

Only way that I know of to reverse the direction is to swap the leads to the motor. If you open the case that way, the warranty be invalid. Exchange it; when you get the properly-wired one you will find it a very useful tool (I have actually felled small trees with mine).

The reverse control is at the bottom of the fan speed button. It looks like two curving arrows. The middle button, the square icon, is the start/stop button. We have had people not realize the center is a square, like the stop icon on old tape recorders or VCRs.

Hi Liz, Thanks for the question. Usually the reverse function is at its most convenient when it's used with a remote control. Many fans also have a reverse switch on the actual fan, on top of the motor. Not sure if this one does, however. Still, with the remote, you have full reverse capabilities, as well as light-dimming control. We hope this helps. If you need anything else Liz, please call one of our experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :) Hansen Wholesale 1-800-201-1193

When I received my remote, it worked just like the original remote did. You need to make sure that the new remote has the same code in it as the old remote. The code switches are located in the battery section of the remote. As far as returns, I don't know, you will have to check out the companies return policy. Good luck with your remote.

Turn the fan on. While it is running press the reverse direction button on the remote (button usually has two arrows on it). Note: this will not work unless the fan is actually running.

The reverse button is the center button. Push and hold it a few seconds to reverse the direction. Others have answered the dimmer function.

Funny, but I accidently programmed the top button on two of these to the same door. Went to correct the error and mate one of the remotes to the other door, via "reset" operation then mate to other door. It mated to that door but still does other door too. So to be clear, one button, does both doors, at same time, which is not what I want. Can not undo this either.....

try taking it apart, the two big screws in the front, and move the wire so it comes out the other side (The Philips is designed to do this)...it sounds like its running backwards...let me know if this works...k

I don't think switching the wirse will make it reverse. Don't know how to slow it down. Sorry

Your best bet is to call minka aire directly. Also make sure your transformer is working because that may be the problem and not the remote.
