Edward Kowalke Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I went into this fan with no intention of replacing the headwire but unfortunately it was in such poor condition (could not get ohm readings) I had no choice and also was unable to keep track of the wires I labeled during disassembly. Can someone tell me where the 3 stator wires connect on the switch? It is a 3 speed switch. Thank you Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Andersen Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 It should be these 3 I've circled. If it runs backwards I believe you swap the top two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Kowalke Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 You got 2 of the 3 locations correct.. They are numbered 1,2,3 on the paper where the wires go but the question is what color goes to 1,2,3 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Guegain Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I’ve had this delima before in fans Where switch was missing or head wire destroyed. There are only 6 total possibilities. Of those 6 only one will work correctly believe it or not. Just label everything and go through each one with a temp setup until it works. If it doesn’t work it will either not start, spin very slowly, or spin backwards. Only one does it spin correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Kowalke Posted October 24, 2021 Author Share Posted October 24, 2021 Got it sorted out by reading through a couple of previous posts regarding similar fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
