W-32 switch is bad or the fan?

I found that the W-32 switch did not work on the old fan I had. I have a CB2104616T serial FU30197 built in 1986 and needed a W-11 switch which is only sold at fixmycasabalancafan.com and is too expensive.

The switch itself is fine.... its the circuit board in the fan that is the problem. If you can avoid it buy a fan that doesn't need a specific/special switch.

My W32 switch is probably fine but since I ordered this switch and received it (W84 or 85) I learned that they are not compatible and I had to change out the control module in the fan housing (an additional $100ish dollars).

I had this same problem, there is an override switch in the fan that occasionally needs to be reset. This happened to us twice, the third time the override switch went and we had to order a new one. Try that first, our new switch and remote work perfectly.

I don't completely understand your question, but when I purchased my fan the remote-if I remember correctly and I have to say that I cannot remember-was a separate purchased from the fan. That is if your question is about the remote switch unit. If it is you might check the battery on the remote to see if it has the proper voltage (if the battery is dead or not) and double check the switches on the inside of the fan and the switches on the remote to see if they are set the same.

Check connections, before and after the switch. Had mine well over a year, no problems....

It is a dimmer also and you may ruin the fan. Most fans are designed to run full speed or have wiring that allows several speeds. This switch chops the power. No longer 60 cycles per second so it may be hard on the fan or fry it. Doubt it would catch on fire but it is a thought. Smarthome.com has switches that may control motors. As in no dimmer. Check the wattage your circuit will use before you buy a switch.

Yes. It's a standard 3 speed fan switch available at Home Depot, Lowes and most hardware stores. I just replaced mine.

From Robert Richey: I do have such a switch. There was a repair man in MIlipitas California who offered to rewire the fan for a new switch but it was expensive so I just use the old switch and hope for the best.Sorry about that as I am a retired engineer not a repair man.

well check first that ALL you barkers are on and i mean turn off and then bring back up to make sure you get electric to the switch/control part inside the wall. if that will not help my only guess is the black part that control the fan is dead. to be sure i need to open an actual box and look on the electric wiring diagram to see what part can cause that. thanks Avi.

I posted this in the 40XBR4 'fan noise' discussion. Look on page 47 of your manual in the troubleshooting section. The 'whirring noise' is the cooling fans -- it's not a defect.

Ourchouse is old , so I have a rocker switch--the light and fan are on or off.

Yes, the fan is cooling down the system, esp the light, I think. I find the instructions for turning off the machine confusing. I let the fan run for 10 min or so, check that it feels cool, then pull the plug. The machine works great except for the OFF snag.

I don't know. The fan comes with a 2 speed pull switch - High, low and off.

Sorry to hear that. Contact the seller and send it back, especially if the fan doesn't come on. good luck

Just bought mine today and turned it on 4 - experiencing a similar problem: Every several minutes the fan will decrease for a second and then go back to normal. It's almost like a power issue, but I don't notice lights dimming or anything else other than the fan noise for that second...

Is it the furnace or the fan that is running? If it is the fan, you should put the switch in "auto" instead of "on".

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

You need a separate switch. Fan has a small junction box with knockouts for wiring connection.
