About the Home Decorators Collection YG493E-EB Remote

Made for the Home Decorators Collection YG493E-EB, this replacement remote covers every control on the Kensgrove 72 in.: 9 speeds plus off, forward and reverse, light on, off and dim, three breeze settings and a 2, 4 or 8-hour timer.

The fan's model number, YG493E-EB, appears on its label and on the original carton. Match it before you order. Once it matches, setup takes about a minute.

  • Reverse button, no climbing up to the motor
  • Natural-breeze mode with 3 choices
  • 9 fan speeds plus off, stepped with plus and minus buttons
  • Dim the fan light to any comfortable level
  • Timer stops the fan after 2, 4 or 8 hours

Rental homes and move-ins

Moved into a place where the fan remote is missing? It happens all the time. Look up the fan's model label, compare it with this page, and pair the new handset in about a minute. Landlords can keep the receipt with the property records.

Reverse for summer comfort

In warm months, set the blades to spin counterclockwise when you look up at them. That pushes a column of air straight down and creates a wind-chill effect on your skin. Pair it with a middle speed for steady comfort, and switch to a higher speed on the hottest afternoons.

Before you order

  • This handset is for 9-speed DC receivers only.
  • If your old remote shows a different number, contact us at (816) 586-8457.

Setup & Pairing

  1. Open the back of the remote and fit two new AAA batteries, matching the + marks.
  2. Make sure the little slide switch in the battery bay reads 1.
  3. Switch the fan's power off, either at the wall or at the breaker panel, and turn it back on.
  4. Press the Learn button once, within 30 seconds of power coming back.
  5. Watch for the light to flash and the blades to start turning. That means it has paired; if not, repeat the steps.

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

In the box: YG493E-EB replacement remote, wall mount with screws. Add two AAA batteries.

This remote page is for the YG493E-EB. For a different model, search our store or contact us at (816) 586-8457.

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.
