3 Speed Fan Switch Replacement--what is the light kit?
Hi all,
I am trying to replace the 3 speed fan switch in my celing fan/light. The original problem was that we could not turn off the fan when the lights were turned on, using the fan switch had no effect on the fan. The replacement fan switch instructions say that "If a light kit is present, remove it, also noting the Light Kit wire connections". There was a little black box wired to the old fan switch, the black box was about 1.5" by 1" and had some lettering on it, one of which said "CBB6-1". Anyways, I replaced the old light switch with the new light switch, now the lights will come on, but the fan will not work. I hear a low hum when i switch fan switch. My question is: is that black box the "light kit" that i need to remove? Is that probably why my fan switch is not working? Thanks! Mike -- Law Office of Michael A.
