BLDC fans come with a remote control system, but after 1 to 2 years, the remote controller might stop working. In such a situation, you can follow these steps to control your BLDC fan without the remote in an emergency.

Follow 4 Steps to Control BLDC Ceiling Fan Without a Remote
Switch off your fan’s power supply.
Wait for the rotating blades to come to a stop.
Switch on the power button and wait for 2 seconds.
During this waiting period, your fan may indicate with light or sound if it’s available.
If the waiting method doesn’t work in your situation, you can skip the 2-second wait and continuously switch the button on and off.
Now, turn the power supply button on and off three times.
The number of on and off cycles indicates the fan speed. Within a second, you need to switch the power supply button on and off to give the command for speed level.
Now the fan speed will change.
It will display the speed level with the number of LED lights, if available.
By increasing or decreasing the number of switch cycles with the power button, you can control the speed of the BLDC fan without the remote.

This method is known to work for Atomberg and Crompton BLDC fans, but it may not be 100% guaranteed for other brands. We recommend using this method in emergency situations only, as frequent use of this process could potentially damage your BLDC fan.
