Waterproofing ceiling fan components

A ceiling fan with a water-resistant/waterproof encased remote control receiver, comprising:

• a ceiling canopy with a remote receiver encased in a waterproof wrapping;
• a motor housing with a motor suspended from the canopy;
• and
• a plurality of ceiling fan blades mounted to the motor;
• wherein the encased remote control receiver includes:
• a printed circuit board (PCB) having a geometrical shape with electrical components attached to one side, the geometrical shape selected from the group consisting of a rectangle, square, oval, t-shape and L-shape, the electrical components including at least one lead wire connector, wherein all of the electrical components attached to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) are encased in the waterproof wrapping, except for the at least one lead wire connector;
• wherein the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with electrical components includes a side length between approximately 2 inches to approximately 2.5 inches, a height between approximately 1 inch to approximately 1.25 inches, and a front length between approximately 3 inches to approximately 4 inches.

A method of replacing a remote receiver in a ceiling fan water-resistant and water proof without a separate plastic housing shell, comprising the steps of:

• providing a canopy for attachment to a ceiling;
• suspending a motor housing with a motor beneath the canopy;
• and
• providing a remote receiver in the ceiling fan, the remote heat-resistant receiver including a printed circuit board (PCB) having a geometrical shape with electrical components attached to one side, the geometrical shape selected from the group consisting of a C-shape, a rectangle, a square, oval, a t-shape and an L-shape, the electrical components including at least one lead wire connector;
• and
• wrapping the remote receiver in a waterproof encasement, wherein all of the electrical components attached to the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) are encased in the waterproof wrapping, except for the at least one lead wire connector;
• wherein the printed circuit board (PCB) has a C-shape with electrical components attached to one side, wherein the C-shape PCB board with electrical components includes a side length of between approximately 2.5 inches to approximately 3.5 inches, a height between approximately 1 inch to approximately 1.6 inches, and a front length between approximately 3.5 inches to approximately 4.5 inches;
• wherein the wrapping of the receiver is formed from a wrapping application selected from the group consisting of shrink wrap, heat wrap, spray coating, dipping and applying putty to all exterior surfaces of the receiver, except for the at least one lead wire connector.
