after installing a new flywheel in the old (about 20 years) fanlight the wiring is driving me crazy. There is a white a.red, and black coming from the ceiling to the wiring box--wiring the thing numerous ways I have thrown the breaker several times. The fixture used to be lite on, lite and fan on, fan on with chain pulled. What am I doing wrong. which wires go to the red? to the black? to the white? HELP
From ceiling, white to white, black usally fan color, and light is usually blue or black/white.
If you are using switches and not fan control or dimmer, then it doesn't matter, I like the light switch closest to door opening.
Red could be light and black could be fan, or viceversa
There probably should not be a white wire at switch. That may be tripping breaker.
three wire pull chain switch....three wires down through the tube,black, white, red.
two wires from the variable speed control...one to the red from the motor..the other to the pull chain switch. #2 from switch to white from above.......where does the hot line from the source go? to L on switch? the lights below have the regular black and white....
After reading your new post, and if pull switch in fan has red white and black, then
Your hot line goes to line on switch, 50/50 chance on last 2 wires. Only difference,
other way would be fan, fan and light, light.
White coming through pipe should maybe only go to light(white), not switch white.
Don't know if problem solved, but I had recently seen where white was from reverse switch to fan speed switch. In Electrical white is not normally a switch color. I do
recall seeing white in motor tap windings((solid white/No number, letters)like T1) etc
