About the Harbor Breeze 40823 Remote

Looking for a remote for Harbor Breeze model 40823? This replacement gives you full control of that fan again: high, medium and low speeds, a separate off button, and light on/off with dimming. The 315 MHz RF signal works without pointing.

It is made for the 40823 and learns the receiver already in your fan. If your fan's model number reads 40823, this is the one you need. Turn the power off and on, hold the Learn button for 5 seconds, and the fan answers.

  • Three fan speeds (high, medium, low) plus a separate off button
  • Light on/off and dimming, with a D/CFL switch for bulbs that can't dim
  • Learns the receiver already in your fan with the Learn button, no DIP switches
  • Wall mount and screws included, backed by our 1-year warranty

Before you order

  • No receiver is included. Your fan's original receiver needs to be working.
  • There is no reverse (fan direction) button on this remote.

Setup & Pairing

  1. Put one 12V A23 battery in the 40823 remote, matching the + and - marks.
  2. If other fans nearby use the same type of remote, turn their power off so they don't learn this remote too.
  3. Turn your fan's power off at the wall switch or breaker, then turn it back on.
  4. Within 30 seconds, press and hold the Learn button inside the battery compartment for about 5 seconds.
  5. The fan starts on low with the light off once it has learned the remote. If it doesn't, cycle the power and try again.
  6. If your fan's owner's manual says to hold the High and Low buttons together for 5 seconds after restoring power, you can use that method instead.

In the box: 40823 replacement remote, wall mount holder with screws, and instructions. Battery not included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this replacement remote for the Harbor Breeze 40823 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.

How do I pair this remote with my 40823 fan?

Turn the fan's power off and back on, then within 30 seconds hold the Learn button in the battery compartment for about 5 seconds. The fan starting on low with the light off means it's paired.

What battery does the 40823 fan remote take?

One 12V A23 battery, which is not included. Make sure the + and - ends match the marks in the compartment.

Does it dim the light?

Yes. Leave the D/CFL switch in the battery compartment on D for dimmable bulbs, including dimmable LEDs. Set it to CFL if your bulbs can't dim, and the light button becomes on/off only.

I have more than one fan. Will they all respond?

They can if they're powered while you pair. Turn off power to the other fans first so only the fan you want learns this remote.
