I am replacing a YouYan/E98999/3A250/6A125/4 wire 3-speed ceiling fan switch. Wires are brown,purple,black,gray. Locations are L123. Is this one OK?

I am using this switch in a hunter ceiling fan, the 2nd speed never worked for me, i tried two times

Black is 0 V (ground or negative), the next to it, yellow, is the + 12 V (positive). Next green = sensor of rotation speed, then blue is the additional, programmable 0-12 V (PWM). 2nd and 4th are sometimes interchangable, but not always. Just sticking a second wire from the system board to the 4th fan's won't activate some of the fans. But putting a PWM into the second wire of a fan is more likely to control it. At fans it's better to look at the position in the connector, rather than colors. 0 V is always the first, edgemost, corresponding to the plastic tooth. The 3rd (sensor) is at the opposite tooth, and the 4th PWM is the pin protruding beyond the plastic tooths to the side. Looking like an additional contact "added later" to the fan standard. And in all computer wire sets, i guess, a black wire is the 0 V, and if there's no black, then a white should exist, and the white is 0 V.

You need a electrician to look at your fan. The switch is designed to work with Panasonic exhaust fan. Not sure what fan you have

Any regular single pole switch will work or a single pole duplex/double switch will work as well. ( sometime they call it 2 way switch ) One switch for the light and the other for the fan. Good luck.

You must look at the capacitor. Remove the cover plate on the bottom and look at the little rectangular device with 3 or four wires. Be sure the fan is off ! Then try to match it to the ones available on the net. The values are rated in "uf" so you can compare them. Write down the colors of the wires and the connections, a close replacement will work. Hope this helps !

You can wire the fan either way. It just depends on what you have for the electrical connection now. The connecting wire is not included with the fan. I used the one that was already installed with my old fan. It has a normal 3 prong plug. Since the plug and wire don't move once the fan is installed, the old wire was like new.

I to was confused about wiring of switch. They need to included a drawing of what goes where. I ended up with only two speeds working. Wish I could help you.

You have to wire the unit to either low or high speed for the fan. It's a series of three wires that have terminals that you need to screw down bare wire. If you have a three way switch in your bathroom you can have it wired to be Off/Low/High. There are no switches or selectors on the unit itself.

Don't know the technical answer but I researched it at the time and it worked as the replacement in my Old Jacksonville ceiling fan. No off switch.

I purchased the W84 but found out it was my fan assembly, not the switch. My electrician said they will both work.

Some fans you can buy a regular fan speed three way switch. You can buy those at Lowes or Home Depot. It is a ceiling fan three way replacement switch. Some brands of fans you cannot. But hopefully in your case you can get a replacement switch. They are not hard to change. In most cases it is only two wires, a black and white wire. Hope you have success in your project, and have an awesome day.

Sorry, I don't seem to have the same wire colors coming out of this fixture. I wired it (as seen in the first chart on http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_5/chpt_2/2.html) as blue = neutral (white), light brown = hot (black), green/yellow striped = ground, and it works for me.

I installed the fan myself and after following the wiring instructions it did not work properly. I ended up just switching the wires around until it worked. I put this fan in several months ago and don't remember the exact wiring. I left the canopy off and moved wires until it worked. Sorry I can't be more exact with the wiring..

The gray wires - one attaches to the main power in - the other go as to the fan switch. The other 3 wires push into their respective holes on the fan switch. I watched you tube instalation videos. If you do the same I'm sure you'll be alright but if there is no success the fan switch may be blown or the fan motor may burnt up.

I will try to remember. Mine did not work and had to be returned and reordered, and I don't have it yet. But I recall that it had two places to push in a wire for each station. It requires wires that are stripped and tinned with solder to work right. Keep careful track of what wire goes to what station number. I seem to recall stations 1, 2, 3, and L. And that is what my fan needs. There are spots for 2 L wires, if you need 2.

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