My boss has a Quorum Duchess fan
My boss has a Quorum Duchess fan, SKU 311525-68. It is controlled by a Emerson SW95 wall-mounted speed control. The issue is that the fan will not start when the wall switch was turned to the first position. I located a replacement capacitor at Gulf Coast Ceiling Fans by talking to Mr. Mike. The capacitor has 2 values on the label, 4uf and 5uf. The capacitor is wired like this: 2 Yellow wires are connected to the union of the 4uf and the 5uf cap. There is a gray wire connected to the 4uf cap and a Pink wire connected to the 5uf cap. Each capacitor has a 330K resistor connected across it. I also have a photograph of the data printed on the capacitor, if that helps.
I replaced the old capacitor with the new one after verifying the two yellow wires were shorted.
After replacing each wire one at a time, we tried the fan. It did not turn. I tested the wiring to be sure that the wires were tight and in contact.
Quorum Duchess fan, I need to convert it to single speed(fast)
My boss has a Quorum Duchess fan, SKU 311525-68. It is controlled by a Emerson SW95 wall-mounted speed control. The issue is that the fan will not start when the wall switch was turned to the first position. I bypassed the speed control by jumping the fan wire to the L1 120VAC wire. It still did not run.
I thought that the motor capacitor might be bad. I located a replacement capacitor at Gulf Coast Ceiling Fans by talking to Mr. Mike. The capacitor has 2 values on the label, 4uf and 5uf. The capacitor is wired like this: 2 Yellow wires are connected to the union of the 4uf and the 5uf cap. There is a gray wire connected to the 4uf cap and a Pink wire connected to the 5uf cap. Each capacitor has a 330K resistor connected across it. I also have a photograph of the data printed on the capacitor, if that helps.
I replaced the old capacitor with the new one after verifying the two yellow wires were connected inside just like the old one.
After replacing each wire one at a time, we tried the fan. It still did not turn. I tested the wiring to be sure that the wires were tight and in contact.
I called the customer support at Quorum International and asked for a diagram of the fan wiring. They said that the fans were built overseas and there were no diagrams for the fans in their hands.
That is what I have right now. Over to you.
