The remote control for the S18654 uses a unique design to deliver reliable and lasting functionality. If you notice that the remote is not working, it may be because the insert tab is still inside of the battery compartment. It is important that this is removed first before using the remote. Below are the steps for removing the tab:
Why is there a plastic tab on the remote?
The tab is designed to provide a barrier between the remote contacts, and the battery. This ensures that the remote battery has its full lifespan upon arrival in your home.

My problem is the poor and cheap design of the Remote-Control battery door will not open. No matter what I do the door will not turn. The grove in the door is falling apart. Used coin and screwdriver. Nothing works.
The battery doesn’t seat well in the remote so it doesn’t work. I had to get a piece of foiil and place it between the battery and contact to have enough pressure so the battery touches the connection. Poor design. Now my oscillator doesn’t work and I just bought the fan in July but opened it in late August. I bought the same lasso fan from Costco last year and it is a much better product. This S18654 is riddled with problems. Vibrations because the fan blades aren’t balanced, remote doesn’t work out of the box and now it doesn’t oscillate. I will see what Lasco says and if nothing return it to Costco and send reviews and letters every where I can.
Chip Houze, how did you get the battery compartment opened? Can't get the door open.
Jackie, I used a regular spoon but the bigger soup spoon. Once you get it open I had to fold a little piece of foil to put on top the battery to push the battery down to make contact. Here are some pictures. Also turn the spoon counter clockwise. Hopefully this helps.
