I found myself in the ceiling fan aisle of my local Home Depot utterly perplexed while shopping for the perfect bedroom fan. Brands like Hampton Bay might as well have been speaking a foreign language with their AC-552s and other model numbers. All I wanted was something sleek yet functional to keep my room breezy in the summer and efficiently circulate warm air during the winter. So what do we know about the Hampton Bay AC-552 Ceiling Fan and how can we help troubleshoot your problems with this fan?
The Hampton Bay AC-552 ceiling fan is also known as Model # Y52YH5-06. Its UL listing[1][2] is AC-552 which means it has been rigorously tested and meets nationally recognized standards for safety. The fan comes complete with five blades, a light kit, and a pull chain.
It’s important to note that AC-552 is not unique to a specific fan. You should be able to locate a sticker on your ceiling fan with the additional UPC number or model info. If you are unsure check the photo above to see if it matches the look of your ceiling fan, which is the Model # Y52YH5-06. If it doesn’t match, then take a look at our list of ceiling fan manuals and find the fan that looks like yours. It has also been associated with the Model number e75795.
I have personally spent over 10 years researching and testing ceiling fans to ensure we provide the most up to date and relevant information. Many hours have been spent in locating the right manuals to ensure you have the most accurate information available for the AC-552 Ceiling Fan.

Troubleshooting & Installing The AC-552 Fan
Below are some common problems associated with the Hampton Bay AC-552 Ceiling Fan.
Why Is My Hampton Bay AC-522 Ceiling Fan Not Working?
The answer is, that you may need to check the circuit breakers and switch fuses. Before you do this, you will need to make sure that the main power is switched off. Consult the manual below for further help.
You may also need to check that the wire connections to the fan and the wire connections to the switch within the switch housing are not damaged.
Why Is My Ceiling Fan Noisy?
- You may need to check all the motor housing screws to ensure they are tight.
- Check that the screws connecting the blades to the motor hub are also tight.
- If your ceiling fan is new, allow 24 hours of usage time to allow the fan time to settle. Most noises associated with a new ceiling fan tend to disappear within this time frame.
