Jimbo.Automates Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 I assumed I could replace the Hunter ceiling fan control shown in this picture with a FanLinc, and it worked fine for a few days but the fan started making a vibrating noise and stopped running while it was on low. Now it does not work at all on Low, but Medium and High work fine. Do you think it's a problem with the Fan or the FanLinc, which is a rev 1.9? I'm going to swap in another FanLinc that was meant for another fan, but wanted to get some opinions first...
Brian H Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) I would suspect the Fanlinc. You may want to read this fairly long thread on the Fanlinc. http://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/19738-fanlinc-damaged-8-damaged-in-total/ V1.9 was listed in the hardware revision range. Reported to have issues with symptoms similar to what you are reporting. Edited November 9, 2016 by Brian H
G W Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 1.9 is known to be defective. B.R.I.A.D.A. Best regards, Gary Funk
drprm1 Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 Does this mean Funk agrees with rafarataneneces?

And I've put him on ignore so I don't see any of his posts. I agree with Don Chick in Arkansas who is a technician and has verified this a long long time ago. B.R.I.A.D.A. Best regards, Gary Funk

Jimbo.Automates Posted November 9, 2016 Author Posted November 9, 2016 Thanks Gary, so will Smarthome allow returning ones that have not failed? And do they have new ones now? Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk
G W Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 I have heard that they will. Otherwise just tell them they have failed. I. S. B. S. P. Best regards, Gary Funk
lilyoyo1 Posted November 9, 2016 Posted November 9, 2016 The information RAF posted is incorrect. While I am unable to say how I know I would take his information with a grain of salt
TheWabit Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 I have had 2 replaced by Smarthome. When the 2nd one failed, I replaced my Hunter fan with another brand and have had no issues.

The one that failed worked fine for 6 months, but died one week after replacing the fan with a hunter. I have 5 more of these Hunter fans, one installed tonight with a fanlinc Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk
stusviews Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 A word of encouragement: my FanLinc works fine on a Hunter fan.
Scottmichaelj Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 +1 Fanlinc on hunter fan working fine for over a year with a On/Off KPL
G W Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 +5 on Hunter fans. I have five Hunter fans with a FanLinc in each. Three of them came with remotes and two were pull switches. I'm Gary Funk and I approved this message.
