How do I get my Allen Roth ceiling fan to reverse its blade rotation if there is no exterior switch like most ceiling fans that do not have a remote control?
If it doesn't have a reverse rotation switch then it isn't designed to go backwards. Those types of ceiling fans are a little more decrative and weren't intended for that purpose.
There IS a switch on the exterior, but it is hard to find. It should be near to the top of the fan (not the pole it is hanging off of). It is this way on mine but yours could be of different design...
The fan must be moving "slow" speed to "reverse" the flow using the remote. The fan will then stop, and then reverse. I know this sounds counter-intuitive (I thought I would break something) doing...
