I have a KBWC-16 Speed control for my attic fan.I see you have a -16K what does that stand for?Do you have any recommendations

The -16K switch is rated for 8 amps and the -16 is rated for 6 amps. Select the switch that supports the amount of max amperage that your fan uses.

K means it contains the faceplate, knob etc. See the page from the manufacturer.http://www.kbelectronics.com/kbsearch/descriptions/popup_kbwc_16k.htm

From what I remember when I replaced mine the K means it comes with the face plate and knob but the switch is the same.

The serial number looks familiar. I have changed out two such fans. Note all attachment points or methods, and of course read and examine accompanying schematic. The process is logical and easy and can be done from a short ladder from within the room being ventilated, rather than topside.

Not sure of model number was used to replace attic fan motor works great. Hope that helps

(after my first comment) I now see the 2500 cfm fan uses an "efficient PSC motor"...and costs $10+$12=$22 more, so it is a special motor giving it high efficiency.(apparently larger blades too) Wiki says : "PSC motors (permanent-split capacitor) are frequently used in air handlers, blowers, and fans (including ceiling fans) and other cases where variable speeds are desired." ...or for improved efficiency apparently. So I now say "it's the special motor"..... I also see the numbers are misleading, so read all the details.. the "1500" moves 1300cfm for a 1850sf attic, and says 3.4 amp, but also below says 2.6 amp! the one I bought. The "1600" actually is a 1600 cfm fan so it says, for a 2400sf attic at 4.5 amp, and seems to be 15"x15". The "2500" relates not to the cfm, but to the 2500sf attic! only 100 more than the "1600" model... with amps supposedly at 2.1, but listed as 21"x21". good luck.

I've picked one up myself, based on all the favorable comments and reviews here-I like the selection of the range of speeds allowing it to run down at an idle of under 4 watts, and 90W on turbo mode. Good to hear it determines the replacement indicator based on the airflow restriction rather just on run time.

Hello - I realize that you posted this comment some time ago, but I'm hoping you may be able to help me. I bought this fan a couple of months ago but only recently hired someone to install it while I was away on a trip. Turns out my 1948 house has the 2-wire electrical, so my contractor simply purchased a different fan. Now I can't return this one. To use it, what did you do? Did you purchase a different type of remote and if so, what kind? Thank you!

I own 2 different models of fans son I can not answer, but a few months ago I needed technical support and called directly the Minka's Customer Care Department and they are excellent. Maybe you can call them? Sure they know the answer to your question. The phone number is 1 (800) 221-7977

Lou, I honestly don't know. I went out to the garage where I use it, and sadly there's no nameplate or manufacturing designate info at all. My best suggestion if you contact Air King directly online and ask them, they can give you all the specs. I can tell you that its done a fine job for me, like all powerful pedestal fan its noisy, otherwise I'd say worth 4.5 stars. Good luck with your inquiry.

The electrical connection box probably cannot be moved easily or at all on the unit; (mine is installed so I can't see it right now) but it's easy to extend your house wiring to reach though. You just need a piece of wire the same size as the existing that's long enough to reach to where it needs to go and a new small electrical box and a few twist on connectors. Electrical codes require all splices/connections to be in an approved electrical box. Any big box store or hardware store will have what you need and probably someone there that can help you confirm you are buying the right parts. You'll also want to have a few staples or clamps to secure the wire near the fan and the new box. It's easy but I don't envy you crawling around in your attic; mine was pretty tight and dusty! Check out YouTube for videos on electrical wiring.

If you are desperate, it may be possible to do this yourself, at risk of the fan's lifespan if it is frequently turned on and off.The motor appears to be a single-phase AC motor with a capacitor start. My capacitor is 250V rated, so it *can* very easily blow with 220V AC. you need to replace that capacitor easily accessed in the control panel. You want to use a 400V AC motor-start capacitor. Other than that, in normal operation, I believe the speed will be covered by the 50Hz AC you probably get, so it will run just 50/60 83% slower on 50Hz which honestly would be great for noise reasons. You have to be willing to risk losing the fan if I am wrong :'(.

It worked on my hunter, but the fan wasn't as fast. Fast setting now is Medium, Medium is slow, Slow is barely moving. I might have a bad capacitor, but the slow operation started when I changed the switch.

This is the quietest fan I have ever used. I use it for cooling my Onkyo Home Theater receiver, which runs very warm. I just used a wall wart power supply to power it and haven't tried any speed control. I would think you can vary the speed by using a variable output DC power supply.

Hello Mayra,Thank you for your message and interest in the Minka Aire F1000-ORB Dyno Ceiling Fan. The full function remote controls both the fan speeds (3-speeds), on/off as well as independent control for the light kit.Thank you.

Make sure it is a 5 wire for 5 wire swap. It will change the fan speed. I would be concerned going from 2.5 uf to 6 uf. Don't think I would do it.

Hi. I intend on using this timer with a FV-11VQ5 WhisperCeiling™ 110 CFM Ceiling Mounted Fan, in a single pole application.Is this the correct timer switch? Thanks.

I'm using a Hydrofarm Fan Speed Controller. About $20. Works fine. Reducing power a bit lowers the noise considerably.
