About the Harbor Breeze CAF56BNK5CRS Receiver

Your CAF56BNK5CRS is a 56-in Harbor Breeze Bayou Creek ceiling fan with a brushed nickel finish. At Lowe's it carried item number 708660. Remote control problems on a fan this age usually trace back to the receiver hidden above the fan. Swap in this receiver and you get three speeds, off and light dimming back on the remote.

The model label on top of the motor housing should read CAF56BNK5CRS; if it does, you are in the right place. There are no DIP switches to set; it learns your remote in about 30 seconds.

  • 3 fan speeds plus off
  • Restores remote control without replacing the fan
  • Light on/off and dimming
  • Dimmable light control

Don't forget the ground

The green or bare copper ground wire is easy to leave loose when you are focused on the receiver leads. Reconnect it to the bracket or ground screw just as it was before. It does not affect pairing, but it matters for safety.

Wobble and noise are not the receiver

A receiver controls power, so it will not fix a wobble or a clicking blade. Those usually come from loose blade screws or an unbalanced blade. If your fan wobbles, tighten the blade hardware and use a balancing kit; the receiver swap is a separate job.

Before you order

  • Not sure it matches? Email info@fanremotes.com a photo of your old receiver and we will check it for you.
  • Check that your old receiver has wire leads, not a square plug, before you order.

Setup & Pairing

The swap is mostly unscrewing and reconnecting a few wires.

  1. Shut off the fan circuit at the breaker before you start.
  2. Lower the canopy and disconnect the old receiver, noting which wire went where.
  3. Wire in the new receiver lead for lead, following your photo, and twist each wire nut snug.
  4. Make sure other fans with learning receivers are switched off, so only this one learns the remote.
  5. Flip the breaker on and, inside about 30 seconds, press and hold 0 on the remote. Two blinks from the light mean it paired.
  6. Cycle through the speeds and the light to confirm everything responds.

Tip: keep the old receiver until the new one is working.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this replacement receiver for the Harbor Breeze CAF56BNK5CRS fit my ceiling fan?

It fits the 1 model listed under Compatible Models on this page. If your model isn’t listed, call us at (816) 586-8457 and we’ll check for you.

My remote has DIP switches. Will it pair?

No. This receiver uses learning-code pairing, so a remote with a row of DIP switches will not pair with it.

Any tip for getting the wiring right?

Take a phone photo of the old connections before you disconnect anything, then match the new receiver to it.

Will my current remote work with the new receiver?

If the number inside its battery cover is TR214D, TR214B, TR214A, KUJCE10311, KUJCE10712, 2AQZU-18018 or 2AQZU-18038, yes. Not sure? Call us at (816) 586-8457.

What if the fan hums after the swap?

Recheck that every wire nut is tight and that no wall dimmer is on the circuit. If it continues, contact us at (816) 586-8457.

How long do I have to pair after turning the power back on?

About 30 seconds. Have the remote in hand before you restore power, then hold the 0 (fan off) button until the light blinks twice.

When will my order ship?

In-stock orders placed by 4 PM, Monday to Friday, ship the same business day.

What is your return policy?

You can return items within 90 days. Items must be unused and uninstalled, in their original packaging. No restocking fees. Please read our return policy before sending anything back. Questions? Call (816) 586-8457 or email info@fanremotes.com.
