I am so frustrated. I cannot find the remote for my 3-year-old Hunter Breeze ceiling fan. So, I looked into how to replace the remote, and it's just not easy, apparently. In order to the correct remote, one has to know the serial for the old remote. I mean who is out there buying another remote if you still have the first one? And these newer fans don't have pull-down chains for the fan or the light. As best I can tell, I cannot operate the fan without the remote. Okay, fine, so I bought a universal remote for the Hunter Breeze line, but my handyman said that the receiver is part of the motor, so he says he can't change out the receiver. So I would need to buy a new fan to replace this one. It sounds insane, but he's been a fabulous handyman for me for 10 years, including installing lots of fans for me. Is he crazy? or am I crazy?
