Stan Adams Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Cool, one of my favorite Hunters! Is your snap switch a three speed? I’ve seen more than one where the switch was replaced with an on-off switch. If so is the choke coil on top? If yes to all of the above, you probably need to have the choke rewound or put a wall ceiling fan speed control on it. Also if it was torn down & rewired, it may not be wired correctly. Quote

See I Can just a fan switch at the wall to control the speed. Three speed switch and it wasn’t torn down. Can I just use a modern fan switch for the local hardware store? Quote
Stan Adams Posted January 22, 2022 Posted January 22, 2022 Yes you can, just make sure it is adjusted so the fan will start on the lowest setting. Quote

Well just put a fan switch and I can not adjust the speed still runs on high. The problem I have is I don’t know if the fan is wired correctly. Any ideas as what I might do short on sending it to someone that is smarter than me which wouldn’t take much on this topic. Thanks Craig Quote
Stan Adams Posted January 25, 2022 Posted January 25, 2022 That isn't the fan or the fan wiring if it is running high on the wall switch control. Either that controller is not wired correctly or that is not the correct wall switch for the fan. Quote
Craig Meier Posted January 31, 2022 Author Posted January 31, 2022 Hi can you give type or name of a fan switch that I can try. The one I got is a single pole for a fan only. Thanks Quote
Robert Winter Posted February 1, 2022 Posted February 1, 2022 Craig You need a 5 amp fan control. This one is close to the one I have purchased in the past: Fantech WC 15 Speed Control with On-Off Switch, 115V, 5 Ampby Amazon.com Quote
