About the Harbor Breeze CAF56BNK5CRS Remote

Model CAF56BNK5CRS is the brushed nickel Bayou Creek 56-in. A remote with sticky buttons or a battery door that won't stay shut is ready to go. Our replacement gives the fan reliable speed and light control again.

If the label on your fan shows CAF56BNK5CRS, you've found the right page. No switches to set and no app to download.

  • Gradual dimming, so you can stop at the level you like
  • Learns the receiver already in your fan
  • Wall holder included so it stays by the door
  • Button 3 for high, 2 for medium, 1 for low, 0 to stop

Wall switch or breaker

Pairing needs a fresh power-up. If your fan is on a wall switch, that's the easy way: off, a few seconds' pause, then on. If the fan has constant power and no switch, use the circuit breaker instead. Either way, leave the power on afterward, since the remote can't wake a fan that has no power.

Testing after pairing

Once the light blinks twice, run a quick check. Press 1, 2 and 3 and listen for each speed change, then press 0 to stop the blades. Tap the light button for on and off, and hold it to watch the light dim. If any step doesn't respond, repeat pairing before assuming something is faulty.

Before you order

  • We list the CAF56BNK5CRS as a likely match. If you'd like a second look, contact us at (816) 586-8457 or info@fanremotes.com before you order.
  • Don't put the fan's light on a full-range wall dimmer; the remote does the dimming.

Setup & Pairing

No DIP switches here. Just follow these steps.

  1. Load the new remote with a 12V A23 battery, plus side toward the top, and replace the cover.
  2. Flip the fan's wall switch off and on again. No switch? Use the breaker.
  3. Hold the 0 key for about 5 seconds within 30 seconds of power returning. Two blinks from the light confirm pairing.
  4. Confirm the fan changes speed on 1, 2 and 3 and that the light switches and dims.
  5. If other fans with learning receivers are nearby, switch them off at the wall while you pair so they don't learn this remote too.

In the box: a replacement remote for your CAF56BNK5CRS and a wall mount holder. Battery sold separately (12V A23).

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this replacement remote 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.

Is this a confirmed fit for the CAF56BNK5CRS?

It's a likely fit. Compare your old remote with the photos on this page, or contact us at (816) 586-8457 or info@fanremotes.com with your model number and we'll confirm before you order.

Do I have to point it at the fan?

No. It uses radio, not infrared, so it works from anywhere in a normal room without aiming.

Do I need to pair again after changing the battery?

Normally no. If it stops responding after a battery swap, check the battery direction and run the pairing steps once more.

Which battery do I need?

A single 12V A23. It looks a bit like a short AAA but it's a different battery, and it isn't in the box.

How long does setup take?

About a minute, and most of that is the walk to the wall switch. Power off, power on, hold 0 for about 5 seconds and watch for two blinks.

When will my order ship?

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