Wire it Right fits accessory

I've added a picture in case you're confused, this switch is easy to miswire, the circuit is for connecting to the CBB61 capacitor , others are 5-wire capacitors can be similar. By inserting the wire into the hole, it can be routed from either side, to the center, or to the outside of the switch. I've found that it's best to insert the wire so it's visible from the outside of the switch - this tends to put a bit more contact pressure on the center rotating conductor and improves the connection.

Pros
  • 3 speed controls: high, medium, low; Function: off, L-1, L-2-3, L-3
Cons
  • Not sure

What can I say? It works.

The switch in my ceiling fan has failed, so instead of replacing the entire fan, I went looking for a replacement. This fits the bill. It seems a bit pricey for such a small and simple part, but Lowe's doesn't have these 3 speed shifters. It works, my fan works fine now. A few things to know: - It can't be seen in the photos, but this particular switch is much thicker (about 2 times) than the old one. In my case it didn't matter, space was plentiful, but if your application is tight in that…

This switch destroyed our fan

Bought this switch to replace a broken switch in our Hampton Bay ceiling fan. I wired it up exactly as the original switch was set, but when I turned on our fan it only had one speed (mid-off-off-off). So I rewired the switch following the instructions I saw in another review on this site. At this point, when I turned the power back on, what I thought was a capacitor "exploded". The fan stopped working completely. I tried rewiring the switch a few other ways, and even applied power directly to…

Wiring Problems

Luckily I kept the old switch and cut 3 colored wires to make connecting the new switch easier. Two problems. Zing Ear calls this new problem a Type 2 configuration where the 3 wires are numbered. Luckily, my old switch is also a type 2. There are other types, so search the internet before you buy. Worst of all I had to disassemble the old switch to determine how to insert the stripped wires as there were no instructions included. So, looking at the switch body from the black side, the stripped

How to install old wires in a new switch

Do not start until you have de-energized the fan, preferably by turning off the fan circuit breaker or turning off the wall switch and securing with tape to prevent it no one accidentally turns it on again. The fan wires in my unit are twisted instead of solid. I think that goes for all fans. However, the key to threading wires into a new switch is that the stranded ends must be either solid or solder tinned, effectively converting the stranded conductor to a solid conductor. This allows you to

  • 3 speed control: high, medium, low; Function: off, L-1, L-2-3, L-3

  • Vulgarity
