I have a 52 in Hampton Bay Fan Cabrerra. A bulb is burned out and I cannot get the globe removed to replace the bulb. I have turned the globe clock wise and counter clock wise. When I do the whole assy moves. I do not have the instructions. Any help is appreciated or a place to get a copy of the instruction manual.
Hello biggrass and thank you for joining The Community. We are glad that you are here.
Our Hampton Bay team can help you change your light safely. Call them at 1-877-527-0313 (option 2) and provide the 12 digit UPC code (all numbers – no letters) found on the sticker on top of the motor housing. This will identify the exact model and manufacturer of the fan. If you cannot retrieve the code from the top of the motor housing, then send a photo to help identify your ceiling fan.
The team can also help you get the owners manual / installation instructions for your specific ceiling fan. Be sure to write the UPC numbers in your manual for future reference.
Best wishes and thank you for joining the discussions.
Thank you for the info. I called the number and got the websiteof the manufacturer which had the instruction manual on line at their website. Happy holidays. Dave
Perhaps instead of stocking this product line, Home Depot can do its customers a favor and stop selling Hampton Bay products. They clearly fail, and do so in every possible way.
The light bulb can't be conveniently changed, without risk to the glass globe covering it? Are you frigging kidding me?
I can't remove the glass globe either.
Wretched product.
Hello GoNavy and welcome to The Community. We are glad that you are here.

Thank you for joining the discussions.
I agree. This is ridiculous. I am going to hurt myself just to change a light bulb. I have had great satisfaction with the several Hampton Bay fans I have, however, this one is difficult and its in my kitchen where I NEED light. What can I do?

Hi, Enigma.
I understand your frustration & I apologize the removal of the shade has caused the problem.
A few of our Hampton Bay fans have glass/globes that are twist on/twist off, this happens to be one of them.
For detailed advice on the removal, I just spoke to the tech support department for this fan. They advise you to place both hands on the globe/glass, slowly twist the globe to left, & lightly pull down to remove. You should hear a sound that indicates the globe is 'unlocking' from the fan.
If you have need more advice on the removal of the globe or to purchase any replacement parts/tech support needs, please feel free to reach out to them direct. They are called King of Fans, 1-800-330-3267 & they will ask you for the UPC of your fan to assist. Your UPC is 082392613754.
Please email me if you have any more questions that I can assist with. :)
Thanks!

What if your globe has clips holding it in place? I tried turning it to the left but the clips were holding it in place. Is it safe to pull it out?
