Hi Charlie, we do keep spares for a couple of years as long as we can still get these spares from our suppliers however this fan was deleted in August 2017 so all stock is now depleted, Debbie - Beacon Lighting Customer Service

Evo3 Asymmetric

We have had the Evo3 Asymetric for about 2 years. It was pretty silent but this year it started making a slight rattling noise while operating and a loud noise when the blades close. We have tried tightening the screws and oiling the blades but it still has not fixed the problem. Any thoughts on what the issue may be?
Also, having read some of the reviews on here I’m wondering whether we should be worried that the rattling sound means one of the blades might snap off?? Does the sound mean that it’s more dangerous now?

Evo3 Asymmetric

Hi i have a fanaway evo3. we have just replaced the circular light but it will not light up. I have been told from the lighting wholesaler that it might be the starter needs replacing. I have looked in the manual but cannot find any reference to a starter. Can anyone help please?

We had Evo1.
The problem when our light wouldn't work was the ballast.(And it broke down on our other Fanaway as well)
Gave me a story about manufacturer not catering for the range of current we have in Oz.
About $25 from Beacon.
I've given up - not throwing more good money after bad

Customer S.Fanaway

Evo3 Asymmetric

Hi, we just purchased an evo3 asymmetric fan. Once installed the fan works on full speed from the main switch. However, the remote is unresponsive and won't change the speed of the fan. As a result the fan only works on full speed. The remote batteries are brand new and it seems to work, just unresponsive. We have checked the dip switch and should sync with the remote. We have also checked the cable connections and they are correct. Any help please? Thanks!

Hi Ros,
Could you please advise if you are operating this off just the remote control or via a wall controller as well. If operating via a wall controller as well this cannot be done and you will need the electrician to disconnect this. Can you please confirm by what you mean by Main Switch as if this in in your metre box this has been installed incorrectly as the fan does require an isolation switch closer to the fan, if it has been installed the correct way as per the installation instructions then I would recommend you call our warranty department on 1800 602 243, if you do have any further questions, please email [email protected]
Kind Regards, Tina - BL Customer Service

Thanks for your help! It turns out the problem was with the wiring. The remote is of a different brand and the wiring in the connectors did not match (i.e. the way they were positioned the neutral did not connect to the neutral, the live did not connect to the live etc.). So we removed the wiring from the connetors and reconnected them individually to their correct counterparts - basically, we hardwired them. The remote came with wire nuts which was very helpful. Then the remote worked fine.
The light connectors were also loose and needed some adjusting in order for the light to work. We used an electrical cable connector strip for this. I'm not sure what you mean about the wall controller - the pre-existing light switch still works but only as an on/off switch now. The fan's functions (speed, light, timer etc.) are all controlled via the remote.

One more note: overall we are very happy with our purchase so far - it looks great and works very well now that all the installation issues have been resolved. The only issue now is that the colour of the bulb is way too "cool". We are trying to find a warm white replacement bulb but apparently this type of bulb is not common in Greece and it's proving to be a bit tricky.

My evo 3 suddenly no response (light and fan). May I know the fuse location and check the fuse is it work properly?

Customer S.Fanaway

Hi Tom, there is no fuse on this fan. Do you have a remote on the fan? If so, I would say that the remote receiver which is located in the ceiling canopy of the fan has failed and would need to be replaced, regards Debbie - Beacon Lighting Customer Service

Evo3 Asymmetric

We have happily 3 EVO3 Models. Running perfectly. However having bought a 4th one and as soon as power is on the fan starts in highest motion. Remote control is unable to stop or reduce the fan and can not switch on the bulb. What is wrong?

Fanaway
Customer S.Fanaway

Hi Gel, there could be an issue with the connection of the remote receiver, which is in the canopy of fan. This will need to be checked by your electrician verifying that the colour of the wiring matches with the corresponding wires from the receiver. If you electrician verifies this and there is still an issue with the remote control, if you call 1800 602 243 ( the warranty line) they will get a serviceman out to repair/replace this for you, regards Debbie - Beacon Lighting Customer Service

Hi Charlie,The remote you have had a 12 month warranty on it and the fans have a 2 year warranty on them. Fan remotes can be susceptible to power surges or a power back surge when using fluoro globes and this is possibly what has occurred to your remote control. This issue does not happen to everyone. From what you have mentioned, you would need to replace your remote control, there is a newer one available that has technology in it to help prevent the issue with the power back surge and it's product number is 210012, regards Tina- Beacon Lighting Customer Service
