About the Home Decorators Collection AM686-BN-B Remote

Bring your Home Decorators Collection AM686-BN-B back under control. This 9-speed replacement remote runs the Merienda fan with reverse, dimming, breeze modes and a fan-off timer, and it comes with a wall holder.

Look for AM686-BN-B on the fan's model label or in the owner's manual to confirm the match. Setup is a power-cycle and one press of the Learn button.

Timer stops the fan after 2, 4 or 8 hours
Natural-breeze mode with 3 choices
Learn-button pairing on 433.92 MHz, no DIP switches

Breaker or wall switch?

Either one works for the power-off, power-on step, as long as it actually cuts power to the fan. A wall switch is easier if it controls the fan circuit. If the fan is wired so the switch only controls a light, use the breaker instead. Wait a few seconds before restoring power.

When pairing will not take

Run through the usual causes. The slide switch in the battery compartment must sit on position 1. The Learn button has to be pressed within the window after power returns, so stand ready with the remote before you flip the breaker back on. Fresh batteries matter too. Repeat the steps calmly; a second try often works.

Before you order

Not for AC-motor fans or 6-speed DC fans.
It does not connect to smart-home hubs or apps.

Setup & Pairing

No DIP switches to set. Follow these steps with the fan in view.

Load the remote with two AAA batteries and set the cover aside.
Move the small slide switch inside the compartment to position 1.
Power-cycle the fan: off at the wall switch or breaker, then on again.
Press the Learn button once, within 30 seconds of power coming back.
When the light flashes and the blades begin to spin, pairing is complete. No response? Start over from the power-cycle step.

Tip: stand where you can see the fan before restoring power. Tip: if you miss the 30-second window, just cut the power again and repeat.

In the box: AM686-BN-B replacement remote, wall mount holder with screws. Batteries are not included.
