    Installing a harbor breeze 33906 fan switch
    I bought a harbor breeze 3 speed 5-8 wire fan switch (33906) to replace my 5 wire switch that broke. My fan is a harbor breeze 4 speed fan.

    I having trouble figuring out the wiring. On the old switch it was wired as follows:
    L - Black
    1 - Grey
    2 - Brown
    3 - Purple
    4 - Orange

    The new switch only has numbers L,1,2,3. However each number has 2 slots (upper (U) slot and lower (L) slot. Not sure where to put the orange wire 4. Please help

    Sounds like you have the wrong switch. Contact Litex/harbor Breeze for the correct replacement. Their number is in our sticky.
