Ratings & Reviews for Harbor Breeze 4-speed Slide Fan Control Wall Plate Included , White
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers appreciate the consolidated fan and light control in a single unit with four speed settings and easy installation for compatible wiring. However, a substantial portion report significant compatibility issues with two-wire systems and older homes, preventing proper installation. Build quality concerns are widespread, with complaints about sticky sliders, oversized dimensions that don't fit standard boxes, and occasional overheating. The off-white color often mismatches standard trim. Despite these drawbacks, many with compatible setups find it functional and worthwhile.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.LISTING ON LOWE'S WEBSITE IS INCORRECT
According to the Lowe's website, this product is a "Universal Ceiling Fan Remote Control" and mentions "Smart Sync - auto frequency feature," however, this is completely inaccurate. This is a replacement wall mount for a fan with an existing wall mount. It does not sync whatsoever and isn't even compatible with all wiring setups.
Not compatible with Hunter
Would Not RecommendThe packaging advertises this as compatible with Hunter fans, but when I connected it to mine, only the L1 and High fan speeds worked. On the L2 and Medium settings the fan does not move at all. On top of that, I can't get it all the way into the electrical box because of how big it is.
Hi Emily, We can certainly help guide you on fitting the receiver into the outlet box. It is a snug fit, but it's possible. As far as the compati...
Fan speed slider is not smooth
Would RecommendProduct works fine, but the fan slider is a little rough compared to the dimmer. There are 4 speeds and you have to be careful to make sure the fan setting is on one of the speed settings because it can be accidentally positioned to be between the valid settings. Overall works well once you get used to this.
Hi BClue, Thanks so much for your positive review. We hope you enjoy your fan for many years to come! If you ever have a problem, don't hesitate ...
Crap!
Would Not RecommendThis thing lasted 2 days then stopped working and I had to return it. Got a Leviton and it works fine!

Bad design, poor fit.
Would Not RecommendI bought two of these because they were the only ones my local store had in stock. They are absolutely terrible. They are oversized and barely fit in a standard outlet box. They also protrude out the front well past the normal standard. I wound up returning both of them.
Hi normallyalowesfan, We're sorry to hear about this experience. We can assure you that with proper assembly followed, the receiver will fit in c...
NOT a remote
Would Not RecommendThis is a hardwired dimming switch for a fan/lightkit with 4 wires in the wall. It is NOT a remote
JDaniel,
You're correct. It is not a wireless remote. It is hardwired. We apologize for the confusion.
NOT A WIRELESS CONTROL!!!!
Would Not RecommendThis item# 0745362 is NOT a transmitter/receiver unit! It requires 2 hot leads, 1 for light and 1 for fan. Do not buy this if you have 2-wire romex (only 1 black, 1 white, and ground) for your wire leading to the fan.
This is a wall control for a ceiling fan. You're correct, it is not a wireless control. The PDF of the owner's manual is available on the Lowes.com p...
NOT a remote control
Would Not RecommendThis is a hard wired switch, not a remote. I bought it online based on a search for REMOTE control. Even though online listing says remote, it is not. When the package arrived it clearly states, right on the front, hard wired switch. If I had been able to look at it in the store I would have known immediately based on this description. LOWES PLEASE CORRECT YOUR LISTING. SHEESH.
We apologize for the inconvenience. We know your time is valuable.
Awful construction
Would Not RecommendI liked the look of this product but with just a few uses the plastic toggle broke off. Horrible construction. I can't believe this wasn't a known problem before they were put on the market.
We're sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. We apologize for the inconvenience.I'm not sure what toggle you're referring to,...
Fan/light wall mount control
Looks nice, mechanically smooth operation but lacks reverse fan function, otherwise would have rated 5 stars.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Hugger-style fans do not have a safe place to mount a remote receiver. Therefore they are not compatib...
