    Here is the model info for the switch I'm trying to replace: JIN YOU E70469. If anyone can let me know if the switch I have will work, and if not what one I need to replace it with. I never realized it would be so difficult to find such a simple part.
    I have a ceiling fan with the same switch - Jin You E70469 - that the switch does not work. I have just changed out the light switch (old one the chain had busted off) and the new one works fine. The fan switch has six wires, two of them are hooked together to make it effectively a five wire switch. I don't know why it doesn't work - it feels like it clicks through its cycle OK, but no fan action. All I could find at Home Depot was a four-wire switch. Is there a way to make this switch work, or do I need to Sherlock out a different switch? (I'm a low grade amateur electrician, but I can follow instructions reasonably well.)
    Here's what it looks like:






    Thanks for any help.

    Guys:

    Here's the answer on "How to replace a 5-wire pull-string Ceiling Fan Switch"?

    I got the replacement siwtch from Switchco, PO box 53082, Lubbock, TX 79453. Phone: 800-365-4548.

    Their item # is 01 and the description says "2 Layer 3 Speed Pull chain switch". Each switch costs 9.95

    You have the following colored wires coming out of the faN;

    Yellow (Y)
    Black (B)
    Orange (O)
    Pink (P)
    Grey (G)

    The switch has two tiers. I will call it the upper and the middle.Both are black-colored.

    The upper tier has the markings, L, 1, 2 and 3.

    This is how you connect the wires:

    L 1 2 3
    Upper Tier Y Bl P G
    Middle Tier O - Bl B

    The U1 and M2 are connected by a black colored wire that does not come from the fan (That's why I indicated that as Bl as opposed to B which comes from the fan).

    Venki
