| Ceiling Fan Help \ Ceiling Fan Problems \ Hunter Fan-Wall control wiring problem | ||||||

My house is prewired with Regency fan and light controls with each control having a 4 position slide (No Remotes). Most are just hooked up to a ceiling light with no fan and the light works fine with the light switch slider. I decided to replace a light with a Hunter fan with light kit. I took out the old light and found 4 ceiling wires - Green, White, Black and a Red(which had not previously been used). I connected them as follows:
Green to Green White to white Black to black Black/white(fan) to Red (ceiling) When I tried this the light sliding switch turned on the fan and the lights did not work at all. So I made a change as follows: Black (fan) to Red (ceiling) Black/white (fan) to Black (ceiling) In this arrangement the lights work fine but the fan only works if the light are on. Any suggestions? |

| It sounds like the switch might be wired wrong! Check it in the wall, or call the electrican back that put them in! | ||||||

| Check also that the light is wired properly at the bottom of the fan. | ||||||

| Thank you cfanrepair. You are correct. The switch was wired wrong at the time it was originally installed. Everything working great now. | ||||||
