How To Wire a Ceiling Fan Remote Control
Electrical Question: I wired in a new remote ceiling fan replacing an existing ceiling fan not remote. After hooking up I turned the power back on and the fan motor started.
- I tried to turn the motor off from the remote and the lights came on.
- The light switch on the remote does nothing.
- The low/med/high buttons change the light brightness.
- What did I do wrong. I double checked the wiring with the diagram and it looks good to me.
Background: Rick, a Homeowner from Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Dave’s Reply:
