Several years ago, the Hampton Bay fan leprechaun made off with the remote and never returned it. Just for grins, I decided to see if I could buy a replacement. Of course by this time, they were no longer made, so I took a chance and ordered the Anderic. At first it didn't work. I called the company and was helped by a very nice young man. Did what he told me and bingo the fan works great. I am delighted. Now, if I could figure out how to change the light bulbs, we would really be in business.
