Will this or any other switch work on fans that aren't remote control?

This particular switch will not work on fans that aren't remote controlled .

The Westinghouse switch may work in certain situations depending the fan you plan to use it on. Hampton Bay also makes a switch that I am in the process of trying after the Westinghouse failed 2x. I had an electrician trying to install it!

I had an electrician install this to a ceiling fan thatwas probably more than 30 years old--before therereally was such a thing. In my non-expert opinion,as long as it is professionally installed there shouldn'tbe any problem.

As I recall, the fan has a three pin connector. If that works with a fan controller then I suspect it will work.

No, this is a fan switch only. I'd look for a slider switch. This one has to be played with to get the setting. Good luck!

Yes, if I read your intention correctly. There are dip switches that pairs the remotes with the fans. When I installed my fan, the remote operated two fans, the new fan and another fan in a bedroom. Both operated the same way. I turned one light on, and the fan in another room would also turn on. Likewise with the fan and fan speeds. If two fans were in the same room, this could be good, and it sounds as if this is what you hope for, but wasn't what I wanted. The dip switches are too hard to get to to throw them to operate the fans independently with one remote. Btw, I changed one dip switch setting and my problem was fixed. You also may have two remotes in different areas of a room such as by two entryways, and both operate both fans.

Hi Deanna, unfortunately I am not using the remote that came with the fan. I purchased two fans for my back patio and opted to hard-wire them together to my switch. So I am only using my wall control. When it comes time to go backwards, I will just switch/press the small lever on the actual fan itself. Sorry I couldn't confirm this for you...:(

Hi Leslie, Well that's a good question. I would call the manufacturer of the remote to find out. My new fan did not come with a remote that's why I bought this one. The description said it would work with almost all new ceiling fans. I don't see why it couldn't replace an existing remote unless your fan is older.

Only if the fan was furnished with the same type of remote. You will need to change the switch settings in the battery compartment to match the fan. you will need the old remote to copy those settings. Good Luck

If the fan/light is controlled from the wall switch, after you install the kit you need to let the switch on to use the remote. When the wall switch is off, the remote will not do anything.

Sorry, I don't know. We don't have a remote, we just pull the switch for the fan & the light. ( pull switches are more heavy duty than on older fans)

I don't know. I have replaced my ceiling fans that do not have a remotes. I found that the remotes caused problems with the fans that could not be corrected and I decided to buy fans that did not have a remote.

Instructions say yes, but it really has to do with the amount of power the fan motor draws, compared to the amount of power the switch is designed for. I played it safe and put in one for each fan.

That should work fine unless it's a three way switch. Is that the only switch that controls the fan? If not, you must pick one switch to replace and bypass the other switch.

Sorry...I don't know if this fan would work with a remote, or not. They are just basic fans, so it is likely they do not.

I don't know. The fan comes with a 2 speed pull switch - High, low and off.

I am using this switch for the fan without heat and it works fine. I would NOT use this for something it's not rated for. For all kinds of reasons.

There are many different kinds of 4-wire 3-speed switches used in ceiling fans. Just because your fan has 4 wires doesn't mean this model switch will work. Try to find a replacement switch model number in the instructions that came with your fan.

Hi Catalyst God,Thanks for the question. You have to use the wall switch that is provided with the fan. It will not work with a standard switch. We hope this helps!
