Part # Part Description

How do you change the PULL CHAIN SWITCH ONLY? - This is a question that we are asked over and over again,

the information in this section of the service manual will help you. Once you have the right pull chain switch,

changing it only takes a few minutes. First remove the switch housing cup or switch housing cap from the fan

shown in Figure #1. Now you will need to look at the pull chain switch you are replacing. Match it up with one you

are going to replace it with.

If the wrong switch is used, the fan will not operate properly. The problem will be that you will have TWO medium

speeds. If you have this problem after changing the switch, most likely you have installed the wrong switch. Most

fans with a spinner motor using this type of switch housing cup, use two capacitors together to get the second

speed. For more information on how pull chain switches work and how the speeds are controlled in three speed

fans, refer to technical bulletin TB-98-30 (#1a) INTERCHANGEABLE - 3 Speed PC Boards and Pull Chain Switch,

dated March 30, 1998. The following steps will show you how to change the pull chain switch.

How do you change the PULL CHAIN

SWITCH ONLY? - This is a question that we

are asked over and over again, the informa-

tion in this section of the service manual will

help you. Once you have the right pull chain

switch, changing it only takes a few minutes.

First remove or open up the switch housing

on the fan shown in Figure #1. Now you will

need to look at the pull chain switch you are

replacing. Match it up with one you are going

to replace it with.

Step #1

Remove the knurl nut from the pull chain switch

shown in Figure #2. Pull the switch out of the switch

housing cup with wire attached, as shown in Figure

#2A and remove it from the switch housing cup.

Step #2

Compare the old switch you are replacing and the new

one. Make sure that they are the same. Compare the

letter and numbers on the switches as shown in Fig-

ure #3.

When changing the switch you do NOT need to cut

the wires. By using a large paper clip as a tool with

both the new and old switch side by side (shown in

Figure #3A), you will be removing ONE wire from the

old switch and inserting that same wire into the new

switch. Continue to remove the wires from the old switch

until all wires have been inserted in to the new. The

most important thing in doing this, is matching the let-

ter and numbers on the back of the switches as shown

in Figure #3.

Step #3

Using the letter and number on the switch as a refer-

ence, insert the paper clip into the same hole that the

wire is in. This is easily done by placing the paper clip

along the side of the wire as shown in Figure #4 and

pushing the clip into the hole and pulling out the wire.

NOTE: It is very important when removing the wire from

the OLD switch has shown in Figure # 4 and and in-

serting the same wire into the New switch, it is done

one at a time. Make sure that the hole position mark-

ings match on the replacement switch as shown in

Figure # 3 at the top of this page.

Once the paper clip has been inserted into the hole with

the wire (shown in Figure #5), lift up or press down on the

clip and at the same time pull out the wire removing it

from the switch as shown. Now insert the wire you just

removed from the old switch into the hole marked the

same on the New switch (shown in Figure #6). When

inserting the wire into the switch you should hear a click,

at this time pull on the wire making sure that the wire is

held tightly in the switch (shown in Figure #6). Repeat

these steps until all wires have been removed from the

old switch and inserted into the new one.

Once all the wires have been attached on to the new

switch, push the switch back into the switch housing

cup shown in Figure #7. Screw the knurl nut back on to

the pull chain switch. Reinstall the switch housing cap

on to the fan. Now you are ready to test the fan.

Test all three (3) speeds of the fan by making sure that

you have LOW, MEDIUM AND HIGH speeds. If you

have two speeds that are the same, most likely the

wrong switch has been installed. Again look at the old

switch you removed from the fan and compare it with

the new switch.

(Figure #1)

The Run Capacitor Black Box has two capacitors

built into one block as shown in (figure #1). Match the

old block with the new, the capacitor values must be a

perfect match. If not, the first and second speeds will

not be the same as before.

Once you have found your replacement block, you will

need to look at the leads. Some of the wires leads are

tinted and some are not as shown in (figure #2A and

2B). The wires that insert into the pull chain switch as

shown in (figure #3) must be tinted for easy insertion. If

they are not they will need to be tinted, only tint the

wires that are being connected to the switch.

Locate the second gray wire on the old block that

is connected to the pull chain switch as shown in

(figure #8A). Using a large paper clip as a tool as

shown in (figure #8B), remove the gray wire from

the switch and replace the wire with the gray

tinted wire on the new block. Replace the green

and brown wires that are connected to the pull

chain switch and the old block with the wires on

the new block as shown in (figure #8C). Once all

wires have been connected, reinstall both the pull

chain switch and capacitor block back into the

switch housing and test.

(Figure #8C)

Place your run capacitor block next to the

switch housing as shown in (figure #7). Locate

the gray wire that is on the old block that is wire

nutted to the gray wire that is in the switch

housing as shown. Remove the wire nut and

replace the gray wire it with the NOT TINTED

gray wire on the new block. Then wire nut the

two wires together as shown.

The Start Capacitor Black Box has one

capacitors built into a block as shown in (figures

#1A and 1B). Match the old box with the new;

the capacitor values must be a perfect match.

If not, this will cause damage to the motor by

over heating.

wire nuts one at a time replacing the wire with

the wires from the new start capacitor block as

shown.

Step #3

Once all wires have been connected, reinstall

start capacitor block back into the switch

housing (figure #5) and test.

(Figure #1)

Cut the pink and yellow wires as close to plug

as you can as shown in (figure #3A). Strip both

the pink and yellow wires as shown in (figure

#3B) and disregard the plug and other wires,

they will not be needed during this installation.

Step #1

(Figure #2)

(Figure #3A)

(Figure #3B)

Locate the reverse slide switch assembly as

shown in (figure #1). You will see that it is

attached with wire nuts to several wires and

may not have a plug attached as shown in

(figure #2). The reverse slide switch assembly

shown in (figure #2) is the universal part that is

used as the replacement for many different

model fans. In some cases the plug will need to

be removed.

Locate the reverse switch as shown in (figure #3).

By pulling up on the reverse switch as shown in

(figure # 5) remove the reverse switch from the

switch housing as shown.

Step #2

(Figure #7)

Locate the reverse switch and all of the wire nuts

attaching the reverse switch to the switch housing

as shown in (figure #6). Place the new switch next to

the old switch as shown in (figure #7). Start by

finding both the pink wires on the old and new switch

as shown, this is where will start the replacement

procedure.

(Figure #10)

(Figure #9)

(Figure #8)

Once you have connected the pink wires of the

new reverse switch to the pink wires in the

switch housing as shown in (figure #8). Locate

both the yellow wires on the old and new switch

and then replace them and wire nut them to-

gether as you did with the pink wires as shown

in (figure #9).

Step #4

Do the same for both the white and gray wires,

until all the wires on the new reverse switch

have been reconnected to the wires in the

switch housing. Check your work; reinstall the

reverse switch back into the switch housing.

Rout the wires so that the switch housing cap

or light kit can be easily installed on to the

switch housing without pinching the wires as

shown in (figure #10). Again, check your work

and then test the fan.
