Harbor Breeze ceiling fans are known for many things; from having sleek designs and quiet operations to their excellent power efficiency and high-quality, long-lasting components, Harbor Breeze fans have many traits that set them apart from the rest.
However, even the best fans can eventually wear out or break down. The beautiful color on the fan blades will eventually fade, and you might break the remote that comes with it.
So what is the solution? You can effortlessly find and buy Harbor Breeze replacement parts.
And to make things easier for you, in this guide, I’ll discuss the different ways you can find Harbor Breeze replacement parts and tell you the list of the parts that are readily available. Whether you need a new remote control or light kit, be with me to find one.
What Do You Need To Find Harbor Breeze Replacement Parts?
Prior to proceeding with the various ways to locate the particular part for your ceiling fan, you must know two things: the fan’s exact model number and the item number.
But where to find the model number and item number? See the buying receipt, instruction manual, ceiling fan box, or on the top of your ceiling fan alongside the motor.
- Model Number: It’s typically a 5-digit number, and the term “Model #” is written with it. E.g., my Harbor Breeze Coastal Creek Ceiling Fan has “Model #40957”.
- Item Number: Although not as necessary as the model number, the item number is mostly a 6-digit number, written with the term “Item #”. E.g., my Harbor Breeze Coastal Creek Ceiling Fan has “Item #803770”.
Once you have noted down the model and item number of your fan, the following are the different ways you can proceed to find the replacement parts for your fan.
Where To Find Harbor Breeze Replacement Parts?
1. Ask From Litex Industries
You might not know this, but Harbor Breeze fans are made by a company in Texas called Litex Industries; see LitexIndustries.com for more information. They make different brands of ceiling fans, like Harbor Breeze and their own brand called Litex.
The following is the information I have found about Litex Industries.

Email: cs@litexindustries.com

Call them at 800.527.1292 for an immediate response, share the model number of your Harbor Breeze ceiling fan, and ask for the replacement part you want. You can also email them at cs@litexindustries.com and/or write to them at the provided address.
2. Find On Official Lowe’s Website
Harbor Breeze is officially owned by Lowe’s, a retail company for home improvement. Lowe’s not only sells new Harbor Breeze ceiling fans but also the replacement part of fans. To find the particular ceiling fan you are looking for
- Go to Lowe’s official website (www.lowes.com).
- Search for “Harbor Breeze Replacement Parts” or the particular name of the part in the search bar.
- Purchase if you find the one you’re looking for.
Even if you don’t find one on the website, you can directly contact Lowe’s on the support contact and investigate the particular part, as I taught you when contacting Litex Industries. The following are the details of the company.
Contact of Harbor Breeze support team: 800.643.0067
Email Address: ascs@lowes.com
Office Hours: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday to Saturday
NOTE: If you choose to call customer support, you will be given a few options to pick the right one that meets your query. Always select Option 1 for English and then Option 2 for Harbor Breeze.
3. See On Amazon For Harbor Breeze Replacement Parts
Amazon is the most familiar way to find replacement parts for Harbor Breeze ceiling fans. It is the most well-known online store where you can find many things, including Harbor Breeze ceiling fans and parts.
- Go to “amazon.com” and search for “Harbor Breeze parts” in the search bar.
- See the description of the product you want to buy. Look for your model number in the compatible list; don’t forget to double-check its compatibility with your fan.
NOTE: You can also search for the name of the part you are looking for. When found, go through the product reviews of the buyers to find helpful information and learn how it practically performs.
4. Check eBay As An Alternative
eBay is another online place where you can look for Harbor Breeze fan parts and new fans at good prices. eBay might have it if you can’t find what you want on Amazon. However, eBay has a few differences compared to Amazon.
- Many listings work through bidding, like an auction. You might have to wait until the auction ends to see if you’ve won and can get the part.
- Some eBay listings have a “buy now” option like Amazon, which means you can get the part without bidding.
The process of finding the ceiling parts is pretty much the same as I taught you for Amazon. Use the search term “Harbor Breeze Part”, and eBay will show you the results. The cool thing about eBay is that you might also find old or broken Harbor Breeze fans that you can use for spare parts.
What Harbor Breeze Ceiling Fan Replacement Parts Are Available?
Remote controls
Remote controls allow you to control the speed and light settings of your ceiling fan without having to get up. Although they can be lost or damaged over time, they are straightforward to replace. Amazon is the best place to find both universal and Harbor Breeze-specified remotes.
Light kits
Light kits provide illumination for your ceiling fan. You can change them to match your décor or improve your fan’s light output. Again, I recommend Amazon to find a perfect light kit for your fan. Remember, they come in various styles, colors, and numbers; ensure your fan’s compatibility.
Ceiling fan blades
Ceiling fan blades circulate air and help to keep your home cool. A fan can have three or four to three fan blades, while some premium, stylish fans may also come with five to six blades. If your fan’s blades are damaged, fortunately, these are easy to replace.
Although fan blades are typically available in a complete set, you can also purchase individual blades. You don’t have to replace the whole set if only one or two blades are damaged. However, see the mounting bracket to ensure compatibility with your fan.
Blade arms
Blade arms support the ceiling fan blades and keep them connected with the fan’s body. Sometimes, the fan wobbles due to the bent fan blades and/or damaged or bent blade arms. If the fan blades are fine but the fan is still wobbling, replacing the blade arms is the best option.
Downrods
Downrods adjust the height of your ceiling fan. Homeowners mostly want to change the height of their ceiling fan, so they need a new downrod. You can easily find a downrod in many colors from both Amazon and the official Lowe’s website.
Capacitors
Capacitors help start the motor of your ceiling fan, and they die due to day-to-day fan use. If your ceiling fan is stuck at one speed and won’t change, no matter which buttons you press, you’ll likely need a new capacitor.
Other symptoms when you should change your ceiling fan’s capacitor include:
- The fan moves slowly or doesn’t move at all, regardless of the speed setting.
- The fan doesn’t start on its own, but if you provide it with a push, it starts spinning.
- Some speeds on the fan are slower or not working.
- The fan motor makes a humming sound and can be turned by hand, but it won’t spin by itself.
However, when purchasing a new capacitor, make sure to match its power ratings with your fan. The best way is to remove the older capacitor, note down its specifications, and match these with the new capacitor you will buy for your ceiling fan.
consider using Kobalt tools to ensure a precise and efficient job.
Pull chains
Pull chains, also known as pull chain switches, allow you to control your ceiling fan’s speed and light settings. However, since this part is the fan most used, it often needs regular replacement. However, these are usually affordable and easy to replace.
To replace the pull chains, you typically need to follow these steps.
- Turn off the power to the fan and also switch off the breaker for extra safety.
- Remove the housing covering the switch by taking off the cover or unscrewing some parts to access the switch, depending on the fan you have.
- Once you can see the wires going to the switch, carefully splice or cut them to remove the old switch.
- Loosen the retaining nut that holds the old switch in place.
- Connect the wires that you spliced earlier back together using wire nuts. Match the colors of the wires and twist them securely with the wire nuts.
- Take the new pull chain switch and put it into the housing. Ensure it fits properly and secure it with the retaining nut.
NOTE: You will get a user manual with the pull chains in the box. Consult the manual to learn about the product and see more details about connecting it with the ceiling fan.
Mounting brackets
Mounting brackets secure your ceiling fan to the ceiling. This part is non-electrical and non-moving, so it’s very unlikely that you would need to replace it. However, mounting brackets are readily available if you really need to do so for any reason.
Switches
Switches control the speed and different light settings of your ceiling fan. However, like any wall switch, a ceiling fan’s wall switch can also fail due to daily wear. If you are sure that your fan is not blowing air on you due to a bad switch, change it immediately.
Other Harbor Breeze Replacement Parts
A variety of other parts can be replaced on a Harbor Breeze ceiling fan, such as the canopy, the globe, etc. If you need to replace any of these or some other parts, look for them on Amazon, as they are usually available. Lowe’s is your second-best option to find other harbor breeze ceiling fan replacement parts.
