Notes:
- Before rewiring any ceiling fan, turn off electrical current at source by switching off circuit breakers.
- WARNING: Failure to disconnect power supply to ceiling fan may result in serious injury or death.
Steps:
- Make sure the existing light switch has 3 wires. If there are 2 wires, A 2-wire switch is required.
- Check wires and make sure to note and write down which color wire from the fan is connected to which wire on existing switch.
- Strip wires around 1/2 inch.
- Connect the black wire (L) from the new light switch to wire noted in step 2.
- Connect the red wire (1) from the new light switch to wire noted in step 2.
- Connect the blue wire (2) from the new light switch to wire noted in step 2.
- Secure connection between the wires using wire connectors by twisting them in a clockwise (Connection of wires must be secured, otherwise it may result in fire hazard, electrical shock or serious injury).
Does this model replace Zing Ear E-89885? We have a Trade Winds fan with 4 side lights and one central down facing light. Pull chain worked for off, all 4 side lights on, only central light on, and all 5 lights on. The pull switch broke.
We replaced with off brand 2 speed, 3 position pull chain switch , followed the wire placement as previous (L- red, 1 – black, and 2 – blue, but now we only have 4 outside lights on, or middle down light on, not all 5 at once.
Thank you for your help.
