celing fan wiring

My ceiling has 4 wires : 1 red, 1 black, 1 white and a copper wire. I connected the wires from the ceiling to the fan in the same order. Black to black, white to white and copper to green/yellow. I left the red wire as it is and it’s not connected to the fan. The fan has a remote that is also connected with the canopy wires. For some reason , when I switch on the fan it starts, speeds up and then stops. The sequence keeps repeating by itself until I switch off the circuit. I am not sure if this is a wiring error or issue with the fan itself. The fan also has Led light that works fine. The black and red are both hot wires connected to two separate switches. Do i need to use the red wire too somewhere? submitted by /u/Fit-Kiwi3449 [link] [comments]
