Are ceiling fan remote kits not created equal? Here's the deal:
Have 2 ceiling fans, one is a Hunter, the other Turn Of The Century. Both came with remote kits, but the Hunter's remote was only for on or off and you had to pull the chain to change speeds.
Since the Hunter is in the bedroom where control of the fan speed from the bed would be nice and the other fan is in a seldom used room, I decided to swap out the remote systems between the 2 fans. Pretty simple stuff, they both have hot & neutral in, hot & neutral out. This was about a week ago and both fans operated just fine.
Today I walk in the bedroom and the fan is running. I didn't turn it on, and neither did my girlfriend so it had to have gone on by itself, and the fan was not responding very well to the remote to turn it off or change speeds as the buttons had to be pressed several times. The battery in the remote is fine. We left the house and came back several hours later to find the fan running again.
What could be the reason that this remote control is suddenly receiving false signals and not responding well to the remote, especially since it worked fine for the first week?
Thanks
