Hunter exhaust fan/light fixture - I give up!
 

I'm unable to access the lightbulbs in the attached photo of the Hunter fixture.

I can spin the glass lens an inch or two in either direction but that's it. It doesn't "unscrew", nor does it want to drop down at any point along the spin.

I've also attempted to pull the whole fixture down from the ceiling, but it doesn't want to separate...easily...from the ceiling.

Instead of sledgehammering it or forcing separations - I'm seeking the insights of my Village neighbors....for my wife's sanity.

Anyone have this fixture and know how to access the bulbs?

From the manual it looks like it should drop down at some point in the spin. Maybe just need to keep trying if it’s stuck a bit.

It’s a Hunter 90052.

That's super - thank you for the quick response!

The manual hook up - that's something I should have done.

Most appreciated!

You're welcome. I've struggled with similar lights in the past. Sometimes just being sure how it is supposed to be removed is the most important part. I was able to search your image to find the model. Gave me something to do on a cold rainy morning here in Massachusetts.

Good Morning, What part of Mass? My family is still there. One gets a little more homesick during the holidays. Dee.

We are in Westminster. Own a house in the villages but can’t retire for a couple years.

Excellent point - I went back and knowing the right direction, really put the pressure on it and it finally turned enough to where it released. Project completed!!!

Have a healthy new year...

Happy New Year!

A poorly designed product. I have a plastic aerator on my kitchen faucet with the same problem. It won't unscrew even with the specially designed wrench. I will eventually need to replace the entire faucet.

Hey - we are from Townsend! Live in St Cats now.

Hey,

We live in Worcester, worked in Westminster at Simplex, golf at Westminster country club often, grew up in Groton on 119 and have a house in Marsh Bend where we hope to move down to in the next year or so. .

time is getting short!

Sad situation as so many products are poorly designed with cheap materials. Irritating for those of us who were using/working on products manufactured before the 80's.

Nice. Probably 2.5 years before I make it full time. Our house is in Lake Denham. I go to Groton often for Forge and Vine, my favorite restaurant. Gibbet Hill a close second.

Looks like we will need a club for central mass people that fix cheaply made products. :D

Its eigther lefty loosey or a tri pod wire after pulling down..

From Tyngsboro. Snowbird to Linden. Been to Gibbet Hill a few times.

Replies can stop. Problem has been solved several times. And now we are talking about where we used to live. MODS, CAN YOU PLEASE SHUT THIS DOWN

Did you complain about the 'Thread about nothing'? That one is about nothing and has been going on for years......

Call Hunter customer service or call home warranty to find out the electric company who installed the light fixture. Try a YouTube search.

Seriously what kind of curmudgeon are you? Mad that some folks made a connection in a thread about fixing stuff? Maybe you think people shouldn’t be stuck opening a thread that has been resolved. I would argue that there are tons of clickbait threads out there.

In any case, Happy New Year and I hope things get better for you and your anger subsides.

We’re up on Norwich Hill in Huntington, MA. I grew up in Northampton and my wife in Athol (actually, I still haven’t grown up). Lots of central Mass folks on this thread. Was in that area twice recently for Christmas parties (Dunstable and Petersham), nice areas. We’re snowflakes who float back and forth between the Villages and MA randomly throughout the year. Heading down later this week for the rest of the winter and early spring.

We owned the horse farm on 113 in Dunstable center in the early 80s. Sold it and eventually built in Townsend. We lived for 40 years in that area.

I think it offends their OCD that threads drift. Literally, the majority of their posts are complaining about threads getting off topic.

No kidding! I just took a look and he should apply to be a moderator for a more fulfilling life. :D
