Hey guys, I recently found a Casablanca Vita. Unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting it to work. It was missing the remote when I got it, so I've been trying to find a suitable replacement. I have one on hand that I think _should_ work. But when I try it, I can't get the fan to respond properly. I REALLY hope this isn't a problem with the board because the Vita board is completely different than every other Casablanca board I've seen. Instead of being mounted to the side of the motor, it looks like it's built into the upper housing. And the antenna appears to be built into the light kit; it's a very odd design. And there doesn't appear to be any way to replace the board on it's own, so I'm assuming if it dies you have to replace the ENTIRE upper housing. There's no way I'm finding that part, especially in the correct finish.
Does anyone else have one of these? If so, could you tell me the model number of your remote please? That way I can figure out if it's a problem with the fan, or I'm just using the wrong remote.

As far as I knew, the Vita only used the W-63 dual light Advan•Touch remote. Don't have one myself so I can't say much else.

I'm using a W-64, which is the dual light IT3 (all white) remote. But as I understand it, the later VItas came with white remotes that look identical to mine. Brian, would you mind checking the label on your remote to see if it actually says W-63 instead of W-64?

If there is anything else, pictures, and numbers you need, feel free to ask me! |

Thanks! Then it looks like the problem is that I'm using the wrong remote. The W-64 may look the same as the W-63, but functionally they're different. Now to get my hands on a W-63!
