About the Harbor Breeze 42473 Remote

Your Harbor Breeze 42473 is the 52-inch Oxford ceiling fan in brushed nickel, Lowe's item 3856481. Lose the remote and you lose control of the fan. Our replacement restores High, Medium, Low and Off plus light control. It pairs with the AM-3L receiver built into the Oxford 52-in, with no changes in the canopy.

If the sticker on your fan's motor housing says 42473, you've found the right page. You'll need one 12V A23 battery, then a quick power cycle to pair it.

  • Three speeds plus off, each on its own button
  • Light on/off with dimmable or non-dimmable kits
  • Pairs with a power cycle and the Learn button
  • Wall mount and screws included

Keeping it clean

Wipe the remote with a soft cloth that is barely damp. Never spray cleaner straight onto it, because liquid can seep under the buttons. Take the battery out first if you're cleaning more than a smudge, and let it dry fully before you put the battery back.

Finding the Learn button

The Learn button sits inside the battery compartment, so open the cover before you touch the wall switch. It's small, and a fingertip or pen tip works fine. Have the remote ready in your hand, since the 30-second window starts the moment power comes back.

Before you order

  • Check the model sticker on your fan and confirm it matches the number on this page.
  • Not for DC-motor fans or fans with DIP-switch remotes and receivers.

Setup & Pairing

Here's how to pair the new remote with the receiver in your fan.

  1. Install one 12V A23 battery in the remote.
  2. Turn the fan's power off at the wall switch or breaker.
  3. Turn the power back on.
  4. Within 30 seconds, press the Learn button inside the remote's battery compartment.
  5. The fan runs on low and the light turns off when pairing is done.

If two fans share the breaker, switch the other one off at its wall switch while you pair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this replacement remote for the Harbor Breeze 42473 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.

What battery does it take?

One 12V A23 battery. It is not included.

Do I need a new receiver?

No. It pairs with the AM-3L receiver already in the Oxford 52-in.

Does it dim the light?

It switches the light on and off, and it works with both dimmable and non-dimmable light kits.

What if I miss the pairing window?

Nothing is lost. Turn the power off at the wall, wait about 10 seconds, turn it back on and try the pairing step again.

How long does the battery last?

It depends on how often you use it, but a fresh battery usually lasts a long time. Replace it when the range shrinks or the fan stops answering from across the room.

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