I have a 3 speed fan with a red, blue, black an white wires, how are the supposed to be wired with power. the wires go to a little black box that appears to just be wires with no circuit board
Motor Wiring Fan Speed Wire color Switch High Black (1) Medium Blue (2) Low Red (3) Motor White with Black stripe is Return connect to A.C. Neutral COMMON - WHITE (L) AKA AC Hot Sp3t Rotary Switch, off/on/on/on CARLING TECHNOLOGIES Rotary Switch 700-BL http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/CARLING-TECHNOLOGIES-Rotary-Switch-4X087 (2) (3) ' -- ' (1) (L) --
The BOX is a GE splicer - with 6 wires - 2 grey power wires, then the red, blue, black, and white from the fan motor. I have the same problem and cannot find another GE SPLICER 3 SPEED SWITCH for the fan. All switches that I have tried have 4 connections.........so a WIRING DIAGRAM would be GREAT!
Can anyone offer any help? I have tried every electrical store in the area!
