Review on Zing Ear ZE-109 Ceiling Fan Switch with Pull Cords - 2 Pack Bronze | Replacement On-Off Control for Ceiling Light Fans, Lamps, and Wall Lights by John Roberts

It doesn't matter which wire is connected to the white or black fan. Just make sure the power is off before replacing this light switch. One of the blacks will go to the black at the light and the other black will go to the black. I just turned off the light, dropped it, removed the switch, cut the wires on the old switch, removed them and removed the wires on the new switch, twisted a wire from the new switch to a wire on the old switch and added the cord . nut (tighten firmly). Do the same for the other wire as I mentioned, the new switch has 2 black wires, one goes to one side of the old switch and the other goes to the other side. So if you look closely, one wire goes white and the other goes black. Then turn the light back on by connecting these 2 wires, white and black, to the corresponding white to white and black to black wires. This simplifies remounting to the fan.
