How to take down a ceiling fan hampton bay. I have a old hampton bay flushmount ceiling fan in a bed room. It is not necessary to remove the fan from the ceiling. Make sure they are secure.

I want to remove it to replace it with a new one. On my model hampton bay the canopy ring at the ceiling actually needed to be rotated 3 8 clockwise not intuitive where the four screws not evenly distributed under the ring will slide in their notches in the ring to their ends and they will then allow the ring to just slip down this doesn t happen easily since the notches are not quite as smooth as you would hope and requires rotating. Fan was from home depot to remove.

The pole connects at the ceiling at a canopy which is just a small metal enclosure that covers the mounting bracket and wires for the fan. Grasp from the top and turn hard counter clockwise to release the ring and expose screws to remove the fan. However after removing the light fixture and switches i can not find a way to remove the fan or fan motor from the ceiling fixture.

Check the support connections mounting screws brackets and blade attachments twice a year. The only screws are on the top of the fan housing 3 from the ceiling where i can not get a screwdriver. On occasion whether the room is getting a new paint job or a complete remodeling removing an existing hampton bay ceiling fan from the ceiling may become necessary and the project is even easier than the original installation.

These type of fans are distinctive in that the body of the fan hangs a bit away from the ceiling on a pole.
