    Hampton Bay Fan Switch
    Hello,

    My Hampton Bay fan switch is broken. (At the moment, I am unable to turn my fan off without switching off the circuit breaker.) How do I take apart the fan and figure out what kind of switch I need?

    Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

    I'm sorry that I cannot give you the answer, but something must go off my heart.
    One out of 20 posts here are about problems with Hampton Bay fan switches.
    STOP buying these things folks, obviously they're worthless.

    Thank you for responding to me. I managed to figure out how to take the fan apart. There are five wires connected to the fan switch. I bought a fan switch at home depot and am going to try to connect it.
