Question from Suzanne in Roswell, GA

Electrical Description : Wiring Ceiling Fan with Remote

[ad#block]Electrical Question : We presently have a ceiling fan that is operated by two wall switches, one for fan, the other for light. We have purchased a replacement fan w/light that has a receiver for fan canopy and remote wall switch that has a button for fan, includes 2 speeds, light with dimmer. Do you have a diagram for wiring this fan? As an alternative, do you have a diagram that would wire this fan with the same two switches controlling light and fan? The fan is made by Savoy, model Torino, which comes with light kit, receiver and remote.

Thanks

Electrical Tips to Help You Wire it Right

The Safest Way to Test Electrical Devices and Identify Electric Wires!

The Non-Contact Electrical Tester
This is a testing tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and is the first test tool I grab to help identify electrical wiring. It is a Non-contact tester that I use to easily Detect Voltage in Cables, Cords, Circuit Breakers, Lighting Fixtures, Switches, Outlets and Wires. Simply insert the end of the tester into an outlet, lamp socket, or hold the end of the tester against the wire you wish to test. Very handy and easy to use.

The Quickest Way to Check for Faulty Electrical Wiring!

The Plug-In Outlet Tester
This is the first tool I grab to troubleshoot a problem with outlet circuit wiring. This popular tester is also used by most inspectors to test for power and check the polarity of circuit wiring.
It detects probable improper wiring conditions in standard 110-125 VAC outlets Provides 6 probable wiring conditions that are quick and easy to read for ultimate efficiency Lights indicate if wiring is correct and indicator light chart is included Tests standard 3-wire outlets UL Listed Light indicates if wiring is incorrect Very handy and easy to use.

Strip Off Wire Insulation without Nicking and Damaging the Electric Wire!

The Wire Stripper and Wire Cutter
My absolute favorite wire stripping tool that I have had in my personal electrical tool pouch for years, and this is the tool I use to safely strip electrical wires.
This handy tool has multiple uses:
The wire gauges are shown on the side of the tool so you know which slot to use for stripping insulation.
The end of the tool can be used to grip and bend wire which is handy for attaching wire onto the screw terminals of switches and outlets..

The wire stripper will work on both solid and stranded wire. This tool is Very Handy and Easy to Use.

  1. Jeff says:

    I have a fan with a light that was controlled by a 2 switch outlet. It was able to separate the light and the fan on dimming and fan speed. When I installed the new fan, black to black, white to white and blue to black or white, no functions come on. This led me to unhook the switch and check connections. The switch had previously been replaced with some difficulty from a standard 2 switch with no dimming. Once I did this, the outlets in the room no longer worked, the fan and the light didn’t either. I disconnected the switch completely and got the power to the outlets back. My Switch has a black wire (hot) a Red (Fan Neutral) and yellow (light neutral). I have 1 hot black wire in the switch (house) and a house neutral. I have an outlet black and white and a fan black and white, but can’t get them to work right with the switch. Un-switched, I managed to get the fan and light to work…so it’s not a bad fan (my original thought as to the problem. Any clues as to what I can do next?
