About the Home Decorators Collection YG493B-BN Remote

Your Home Decorators Collection YG493B-BN still runs fine, but without its remote the speed, light and direction are out of reach. Our replacement handset brings back all 9 speeds, reverse, dimming, a fan-off timer and 3 breeze modes for the Kensgrove 64 in..

If your fan has the Brushed Nickel finish, you can match it by the model label on top of the motor housing or on the box: it should read YG493B-BN. Setup is a power-cycle and one press of the Learn button. This handset pairs with the UC786N-37 receiver found in the Kensgrove 64 in..

  • On, off and brightness for the fan light
  • 3 natural-breeze modes that vary the speed
  • Nine speed steps from a whisper-soft drift to full airflow
  • Reverse button, no climbing up to the motor
  • Wall mount in the box, backed by a 1-year warranty

High ceilings and big rooms

Large living rooms and vaulted ceilings benefit most from fine speed control. Use the upper speeds in summer to reach the far corners, and the lowest speeds in reverse during winter to mix the warm air that collects up high. The remote's range easily covers a large room.

What breeze mode does

Breeze mode varies the fan speed on its own, rising and easing like a light outdoor wind instead of holding one steady speed. The remote offers three breeze settings. Some people find the changing airflow more relaxing for reading or napping, while others prefer a constant speed. Try each one for a few minutes.

Setup & Pairing

Setup takes about a minute and needs no tools.

  1. Load the remote with two AAA batteries and set the cover aside.
  2. Make sure the little slide switch in the battery bay reads 1.
  3. Power-cycle the fan: off at the wall switch or breaker, then on again.
  4. Before 30 seconds pass, give the Learn button in the compartment one press.
  5. The fan answers by flashing its light and starting the blades. If it stays still, try the sequence once more.
  6. Snap the battery door back on and test speed, light and reverse.

Tip: if the wall switch only controls a light, use the breaker instead.

In the box: YG493B-BN replacement remote and a wall holder with screws. Two AAA batteries needed, not included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this replacement remote for the Home Decorators Collection YG493B-BN 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.

Can I use the timer on the YG493B-BN?

Yes. The YG493B-BN can shut off after 2, 4 or 8 hours using the timer buttons.

Does it replace the fan receiver?

No. This is the handheld remote only. It pairs with the receiver already in your fan.

Do I have to point it at the fan?

No. It sends a radio signal, so it works across the room without aiming at the fan.

Can kids or guests use it easily?

Yes. The buttons are labeled for light, speed, reverse, timer and breeze, and the holder keeps it easy to find.

Is this the remote that came with the YG493B-BN?

It is a Comfort Direct replacement that works like the original 9-speed remote for the YG493B-BN.
