Electrical Question from Richard about Ceiling Fan Wiring and Replacing Casablanca Ceiling Fans
Received from Richard a Homeowner in Ovilla, Texas
[ad#block]Question: I am replacing current ceiling fans with 3 speed with double switches in the wall. One for fan, One for light. The older fan is a variable Casablanca with a light kit. One switches from the wall works fan and light, the other is dead. What is wrong? I want one switch to work light and one for fan. Thank you. Richard.
Dave’s Reply:
Thanks for your electrical question.
Richard you will not be able to use the Casablanca wall switch to control a non-Casablanca ceiling fan. The Casablanca ceiling fans and Casablanca wall switches have a unique system that is not compatible with other fan units. You will need to purchase a new remote control module kit to retrofit your new fans. This kit will include a receiver module to install up at the ceiling fan and a transmitter wall switch or hand held remote control. Make sure to set the dip switch codes differently for each fan remote unit.
