The remote for a ceiling fan in our study is lost. The pull down strings were removed when the fan was installed so I can't turn on the fan or the light. Turning the light switches on and off does nothing.
The replacement remotes that I have found all include a part that would need to be installed within the guts of the fan itself. I'm trying to avoid doing that.
Is there a way to simply set the same code in the new replacement remote as is in the current guts of the fan itself? Note that the fan is 11 years old. Guy at HD said it probably wouldn't work because the new remote wouldn't be able to "talk" to the old guts within the fan (even if I match the codes). Is this guy correct?
Thanks.
