Bypassing the receiver on a Hunter Ceiling Fan

I have a Hunter Model 23530 Grand Lodge ceiling fan and have misplaced the remote. Last year reverse stopped working, and I believe that the receiver is starting to fail. Because of these 2 things, I would like to bypass the receiver and hard wire the fan. I have separate power at the junction box for the light. Are you going to use wall switches to control the fan and light? Is the wiring already in place for the switches? yes, i have separate wall switches installed also. The reciever feeds the fan with red/green/brown/gray/yellow wires. I assume there is one each for high/med/low/reverse/common. Not sure. Reciever Part No: 85112-04 Your best bet is to try to buy a replacement. I could tell you how I would try to do it if it was my fan but it is not a way I would recommend. It would basically involve reverse engineering and lots of smoke tests that might permenently damage the fan. With all the problems that I read about this reciever, I'd rather just elliminate it. I'd be happy if it was on high all the time. Thats where we run it anyways. I cut out the receiver in the base of the fan, but kept the connector and the wiring. I put Red, Yellow and Black together and Brown, Grey and White together with wire nuts. Now when I turn on the switch it turns the fan on and the lights. Speed looks to be about medium. I'm not sure increase or decrease the fan speed. If you want to reverse direction (for winter), connect the Red and Brown (pink on the other side of connector) with the white and the Yellow and grey with the Black. I couldn't figure out what the green wire does. The fan motor should have wires for the fan motor and the lights. One would connect to either the red or black from the ceiling. The other would go the other colored ceiling wire. Once you remove the receiver you should be able to see the connections you need to make.
