My current fan wires run to a on off switch. It has a hot and neutral connection. Will this switch work? Will it work without red to fan wire?

It would function although if you have a fan/light without the other wires it will control the entire unit.

You need a electrician to look at your fan. The switch is designed to work with Panasonic exhaust fan. Not sure what fan you have

Not sure what the rating is but if you have a two speed whole house fan this will work. You might have to play around with getting the wiring right as mine had no diagram. Replaced old toggle/chain switch.

We are building a house and bought this fan to install in the kitchen and we wired for the fan to be turned off and on via a switch on the wall, so I'm thinking you can do this, but you will have to have it wired to do so. Hope this helps!!

Yes - if your fan is not working and everything else is - then it is probably the switch - which is a part that can easily break. I tired to fix the old switch but that is impossible. Just be sure to mark where each of the four wires go to make sure you get them back in the proper place - otherwise you will be guessing through trial and error. Good luck

My fan was installed by the men that put up my new roof. There are no wires in the area where it is installed so I would think the answer would be no. Hope that is a help to you.

You would connect it to the Black (Line), White (Neutral) and Bare or Green (Ground)... And then cap off the Red wire with a wire nut. It would no longer be switchable, but you probably don't want that function anyway.

I use the fan with both the wireless contol and a standard one way switch. The speed setting stays the same as set wtih the remote, when turning off and on at the wall switch. Since the three way switch only supplies power to the fan (off or on) in the same way as to a light, it will work just fine.Best regards,H A Brooks

Hi, this product is not the correct product for you. However, at your own risk, and the fan nor the wiring diagram not in front of me to check it. It is really hard to know what each wire is. Typically, the Red and white usually connect to the power, blue to the light (dimming is done usually through the remote receiver) at this point there is usually 1 more wire for the motor. You have 3 left that is because your fan reverses via the remote. You can buy the correct one that reverses on amazon or ebay or try to Google the wiring diagram. I wouldn't touch it unless I knew what was what. You can burn out the unit very easily or make a fire hazard or get hurt.

I would think so. What are you trying to operate with this switch? I used it for a whole house fan.

We put a dimmer switch (a toggle on wall) and use chain in the light for switching the fan speed. It works great. Of course, we had three wires running to the fan/light - a black, a red, and the white. We put the light on the red,and put dimmer in series with it, while the black wire is always hot (ie, no dimmer in the circuit) so the fan is "un-dimmer". You can install a fan/light dimmer remote device, but our light is in a guest room and we thought the remote might get lost (too many grand kids etc visiting).

There is no on-off switch. It directly wires to a 110 electrical source. I ran mine thru a standard room light switch to the fan

Yes, if your original fan uses a remote with similar functions. Start by setting the dip switch settings in the battery compartment to match your original remote, if you still have it. My original remote had all the switches set to up(didn't work). I moved them to all down(didn't work). I moved the left most switch up and left the others down and it works perfectly. Good luck there are 16 different combinations. :-)

For me there was one already installed to control a fan. The existing one went bad and locked into full power so I replaced it. There was three wires from my fireplace. One is power that is looped with a thermostat and the other is a neutral. Should be simple swap out, resolder the wires and it's ready to go.

For myself, I wired it to have its own switch. But I suppose if you are a savvy enough of an electrician, you can pig tail the connections. The item has instructions for different types of wiring needs, including a situation where you can have separate switches for fan, heat and/or light.

Hi there, I think that it is no revers switch on the fan,if you wil revers the fan you must change the wiring.This fan is not make for reversible.This is wat I think.

I suspect any electrical switch (ON/OFF) will work, probably using a DC switch in particular. A power strip is something that could be adapted, but when OFF all other devices plunged into it would be off also. Most switches you could select would also require to be mounted. I think, short of a power strip dedicated solely for the fan, making a switch practical is a lot of effort.

I believe it does require a neutral connection. Check behind your existing switch and I think you will find a neutral probably with a wire nut on it.
