    Bathroom fan replacement
    Hi there,

    Sorry I have a problem and limited electrical know how. I have tried to replace an old existing bathroom fan with a new panasonic fan. I have two switches at the wall, one working the vanity light white black copper, and one that worked the previous fan also white black copper. My new fan has black white green and a green ground to the housing. I don't know how to connnect I have tried several combos and seem to get none right. Any advice other than not becoming a sparkie? Haha
    Thanks in advance

    The wires for the old fan were white/neutral, black/hot and bare copper/ground. Your new fan "has black white green and " so black to black, white to white and green to bare copper.
