Would it be possible to switch the wires and reverse the fan? And how might I slow it?

I don't think switching the wirse will make it reverse. Don't know how to slow it down. Sorry

Is it possible to reverse the fan? - I'm not an electronics expert but it might be possible. The only reason I can see that you would want to do this is to pull air "into" the existing exhaust and out the current "intake" making it pull hot air in from within a smaller area. There might be better products to do this.Slowing it down shouldn't take much more than putting in a resistor or two. But, again, I'm not an electronics expert, so that would take some research on how to accomplish this.

You could do that , if you remove the fan blades and reverse them (not recommended). I think what this means is you can place the fan in a window either way . . . blowing in or blowing out. The fan case profile is the same either way.

Yes, that is what I did and it works fine. I have the light on a dimmer switch and the fan is on a separate switch. If I want to change the fan speed I can use the switch on the fan, but so far have not needed it. I love this fan, really moves the air in my sewing room.

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

Yes the fan rotation can be reversed but you need flip over the fan blades.

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

I just checked out my remote and there is NO reverse so the reverse is on the fan. Hope that 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

Yes, it can be reversed (mine is reversed right now), but you have to do it on the fan. It cannot be done on the remote.

No. You must use the switch on the fan body to reverse the fan. The switch only controls the speeds and light.

As a puller out of the box but to change all that is required is to reverse the two wires on each fan

I use the fan with a wall switch & the pull-cord varies the speed. There is a there is a switch on the fan for forward or reverse. I do not see another place for an on/off cord, but perhaps the electrician had the choice of parts when he installed it. It's been a while...sorry.

Its an AC fan, so you can't reverse the fan direction by reversing the Hot/Neutral leads. For a DC fan, yes. But not for this one. I can't remember what the internals look like, but (maybe) you could remove, reverse and reinstall the actual fan. But I'm not sure. And then there is the back flow portion you would have to hold open, otherwise it would pull itself shut all the time the fan is on (reversed).

Yes. My brother just installed this fan for me. I am able to turn the fan on and off, as well as choose the speed and whether I want the fan to go in reverse all via the remote. And you can use the remote to turn on/off the light. Hope this info helps.

No...there is no way to change the directional flow of air. I even tried to take it apart to see if I could manually flip the fan and motor. This is truly for thru wall, room to room air circulation, not ventilation.

I'm no electrician so can't so if the polarity can be reversed by wiring. There is NO provision to allow reversing it by switch.

There is a switch either on the motor or the control to reverse the direction of the fan.
