Ok, I removed my old fan, and *thought* I drew an entire diagram of the
old wiring setup. What I didnt relize until I tried wiring the new fan
was I forgot to draw where the white wires were connected to on the old
fan!
Here is my setup:
From the fan box in ceiling I have (2) sets of wires.
Black/White/Ground and Black/White/Ground. On the old fan, I know that
one of the black wires were connected to the Blue and Black wire on the
fan. I know that the other black wire was connected to the white wire
on the fan. What I dont know is where the other white wires connect to
Any ideas where I should connect the other (2) white wires? I tried
different combinations, nothing worked
Don't the fan instructions say how to wire it?
Does the fan have a light? Did the old fan have a light? Did the light and
fan work on separate switches or just one switch?
With the wires disconnected, does anything not work that did before?
A little information would get you a better answer.
I have taken to photographing things before I disassemble them. Haven't
need to refer to the pictures yet, but it is nice to know they are
available.
Yep, I made the mistake of not taking a picture beforehand. Ive done
this many times in the past, but I didnt do it this time (and im paying
for it). The wiring diagram that came with the fan is a simple
diagram, White on White, Black and Blue on Black.
Like I said, I have (2) sets of wires coming out of the electrical box
in the ceiling. The old fan did have a light (which is what the blue
wire is for) and their is only (1) switch on the wall.
