About the Home Decorators Collection YG493B-EB Remote

Your Home Decorators Collection YG493B-EB 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..

Your fan's Espresso Bronze finish helps confirm the model, but the label is the final word. It should show YG493B-EB. 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..

  • Reverse button, no climbing up to the motor
  • Natural-breeze mode with 3 choices
  • Light on/off and dimming without the wall switch

Light out but fan running

If the remote runs the blades but the light stays dark, the remote and receiver are talking fine. Check the light itself: an integrated LED module or its driver can fail on its own. Confirm the light was working with the old remote before you suspect the new one.

Signs of weak batteries

Weak batteries rarely fail all at once. The first clues are a shorter range, buttons that need a second press, or a light that responds slowly to dimming. When you notice any of those, replace both AAA cells before you assume the remote or the fan has a fault.

Before you order

  • AC fans and 6-speed DC fans need a different remote.
  • The RH787T is a different 6-speed remote, and this one does not replace it.

Setup & Pairing

Keep the fan in sight so you can see it confirm the pairing.

  1. Slide off the battery cover of the remote, load two AAA batteries, and keep the cover off.
  2. Set the compartment's slide switch to position 1.
  3. Turn the fan off at the wall switch or breaker, wait a few seconds, then switch it back on.
  4. Right away, while the 30-second window is open, press Learn and let go.
  5. The fan answers by flashing its light and starting the blades. If it stays still, try the sequence once more.

Tip: leave the wall switch on after pairing so the receiver keeps power. Tip: if you miss the 30-second window, just cut the power again and repeat.

In the box: YG493B-EB 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-EB 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 it with the YG493B-EB?

Set the slide switch to 1, power-cycle the YG493B-EB at the wall switch or breaker, then press Learn within 30 seconds. The light flashes and the blades start when paired.

Does it replace the fan receiver?

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

Do I need to cut power at the breaker?

Only if your wall switch does not cut power to the fan. Either method works for the power-cycle step.

Why does my fan light flash during setup?

The flash, along with the blades starting, means the receiver has learned the remote. Pairing is done.

Does it control the YG493B-EB light?

Yes. It turns the YG493B-EB light on and off and dims it.

What batteries go in it?

Two AAA batteries. They are not included, so grab a fresh pair before you set it up.
