You have 2 black wires and 2 white wires One pair from the power ,and the other pair from the speed control board 2 wires go to the circuit breaker Which 2?

Mmmm... that's a little more complicated. If you have a continuity / resistance meter, we can noodle it out, though.

First, are the two white wires the ONLY wires coming from the motor? I suspect they are - that's not in conformance with any accepted color code, but it'll work. For the rest of this, I'll assume that the two white wires are the only ones from the motor.

You'll need to meter the switch itself, with no wires connected to it. In the OFF position, you shouldn't find continuity between any of the four switch contacts. In the ON position, you should find continuity between two pairs of contacts.

The black wire from the power cord should go to ONE of the two switch contacts in a pair that have continuity with the switch turned ON. One (either) of the white wires from the motor should go to the other switch contact IN THAT PAIR.

That leaves you with one more pair that has continuity with the switch turned ON. The white wire from the power cord goes to one of those, and the second white wire from the motor goes to the other one.

When you have it all wired up, plug it in & turn it on. If it's not right, it should immediately pop your circuit breaker. If it IS right, it should run fine.

If it pops your circuit breaker, open it back up and swap one wire from the power cord and one wire from the motor.

pretty sure its the 3 speed pull chain switch.$4.50 to $6.00 at home depot or lowes or hardware/elecrtical store.
how 2 replace switch.
1.turn off breaker to fan/fan lights,probably that whole room.
may need extension cord & floor lamp from closest room with electric, so u can see.
2.need 6ft step ladder to get up to fan.look see how to get to fan speed switch. speed switch unscrews from outside but body of switch is inside fan cover.
3. need to take fan off ceiling to replace switch.
4.switch has 4 wires, power feed into switch and 3 selector
wires that go to high speed winding,medium speed winding and low speed winding.
speed selector switch has 4 settings, off, low,medium,high.

about ac circuits , black wire is 120 volts, hot.
white wires are neutral return wire. an ac voltmeter will read 120volts ac with its red and black probes between black,hot and
white,neutral.
white= neutal=ground which is green. If wired properly and polarity was observed, white and green ground wires both connect to the neutral ground buss bar in the circuit breaker panel box and are the same electrical point.

black wires,and the selector handle getting the hot juice into the fan and white returns the used juice to the circuit breaker panel box.
If polarity was observed, you can touch white and ground without getting a shock.
black will jolt or even fry you dead, so make sure the breaker to the fan is off, so that the circuit is de-energized before you touch it.

PLEASE NOTE--- make drawing on paper of what color wires from the fan motor go to what color wires on the selector switch.
If the switch has 4 black wires, you need to put different color electrical tape as a marker, on each wire. or ,to be cheap, you can use white paper,scissors to cut paper,and pencil and write 1,2,3,4 on the paper and tape to the 4 switch wires.

that is: wire # 1 from the switch goes to the black wire from the wall--ac hot
wire #2 from switch goes to yellow fan motor winding,
wire # 3 from switch goes to orange wire from fan motor

wires are specific and NOT interchangeable.

T51211BC is 120Volt timer that can be wired many different ways because there are two internal relays, and each relay has NO and NC terminals. One relay is controlled by timer dial trippers, and other relay controlled by dawn-dusk photo eye

Timer wiring cannot be fully explained with words.
Below is basic hook-up for your 120Volt wiring application, and then you can use a tester and experiment with the knob settings, and tripper settings.

1) You have 4 cables:
one cable from circuit breaker box;
one cable going to photo control;
one cable going to outdoor Load (lite);
one cable going to indoor Load (lite).

2) Cable from circuit breaker has 2 wires:
Black Hot wire connects to terminal 1
White Neutral connects to terminal 2
This will power the clock motor and timer relays.

3) Photocell has 3 wires:
Black connects to terminal 1
White to terminal 2
Red to terminal 3.
Photocell turns relay on-off for Circuit B
Do not mix different size wires under same screw terminal, or smaller wire will come loose over time. Also do not mix stranded wire and solid copper under same screw terminal for same reason.

4) Terminals 4 thru 12 are 'dry'.
Dry terminals receive no power when power is applied to terminals 1 and 2.
To put power on dry terminals, so that Load will have power, attach Black hot wire from breaker to terminals 9 and 12.
So add a jumper wire from terminal 1 to terminal 9 and another jumper wire from terminal 9 to terminal 12.
120Volt power is now connected to terminals 1, 9 and 12

5) Circuit B is dawn to dusk for outdoor Load.
Outdoor load cable has Black and White wire.
Connect outdoor Black wire to either terminal 10 or 11.
To test which is correct for your application, set switch to Auto, and then test across terminals 12 and 11, and across terminal 12 and 10. Repeat test after dark. Rotate knob B to each position and repeat test.
Connect outdoor White wire to terminal 2, and this will complete the circuit.

6) Circuit A is Dusk ON and timer OFF
Indoor cable has Black and White wire.
Connect indoor Black wire to either terminal 7 or 8.
To test which is correct for application, set switch to Auto, and then test across terminals 9 and 8, and across terminal 9 and 7. Repeat test after dark. Rotate knob B and repeat test.
Connect outdoor White wire to terminal 2, and this will complete the circuit.

The BOX is a GE splicer - with 6 wires - 2 grey power wires, then the red, blue, black, and white from the fan motor. I have the same problem and cannot find another GE SPLICER 3 SPEED SWITCH for the fan. All switches that I have tried have 4 connections.........so a WIRING DIAGRAM would be GREAT!

Can anyone offer any help? I have tried every electrical store in the area!

Thanks

I think what you have is a 220 volt thermostat. That is why it isn`t making sense to you.

P1353 is a very complicated for beginner.
Open following link for manual: P1353 starts on Page 25
http://waterheatertimer.org/pdf/Intermatic-P1353-manual.pdf

Following steps are general introduction.
You can add a comment about specific steps.

1) Select timer voltage: see page 26 manual
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/P1353-voltage-selection-100.jpg
Timer can control 120V or 240V circuits.
P13553 default voltage for clock motor is 240V.
If circuit breaker that supplies power to timer is 240V, then no change is needed.
If circuit breaker that supplies power to timer is 120V, then change jumper on back of timer to 120.
Timer mechanism snaps out of box using thumb spring located top inside box.

2) Wiring
Open link to see general wiring for P1353:
http://waterheatertimer.org/images/P1353-timer-350.jpg
-Bare ground wires connect to green screw

-Line wires are power wires from circuit breaker.
For example Line wires are 240Volt, and there is 1 black wire and 1 white
Black connects to terminal 1
White connects to terminal 2
Add a jumper wire (short piece of same-gauge wire) from terminal 1 to terminal 3
Add a second jumper wire from terminal 3 to terminal 5
This will put power to clock motor and put power to switches

-Load wires go to 2-speed pump: see wiring diagram page 28
There are 3 Load wires for 2-speed pump: Usually these wires are: Black for speed-1, Red for speed-2, and White
Black speed-1 connects to terminal 6
Red speed-2 connects to terminal 4
White motor wire connects to terminal 2 to complete circuit to motor.

3) Programming.
-Manual shows specific programming starting on page 27.
Timer has 3 circuits. Each circuit is independent of other circuit, making this a 3-channel timer.

-Select different MODES when programming timer
Select MODE 2: circuit 1 and circuit 2 will never be ON at same time, which is intended for 2-speed pump operation.

-Programming steps start on page 30 where you select MODE 2
Actual programming steps are straightforward

follow the wires to where they enter the breaker cabinet, the ones coming out of a cable will be a pair, red and black or black and white. If you have a volt meter, turn on one set of switches on the breaker and measure the terminals, the one with 230 volts will be the ones to connect that set of wires to

Usually their is a tech sheet under the motor shroud it should have a wiring diagram. If not the power cord has three leads Black some models use Blue ( Hot ), White ( Neutral ), Green (Ground ). The Black will have the on/off reset switch or on/off circuit breaker to Motor Control Board spade labeled black or blue. The white lead may go straight to the motor control board spade labeled white. Just follow the wire color s and match them. Good Luck!

The wires to your blower are connected at the control board. To hook up a 120V to the furnace, on this model, is located on the left hand side of the burner section. There is a black and white wire in a small 2"x 3" box. The control board selects which wire to power the motor depending on what mode you are in.

There are four wires comming out from a ceiling fan. Check it. Isolate it to get four terminals. Check for continuty. In fact, they are pairs of coil inside the fan. As there are two coils inside the fan, you have two pairs of termials. After indetifying each pair, connect one pair directly to supply. Another pair is to be connected in series with a capcitor provided in your fan. After connection in seris, you will again have two terminals not connected to any point. Again connect it to supply (ie. LT supply viz 230 volts or 110 volts as per specification of fan). The fan will run. Now you have to check speed and proper direction of running. If speed is less, then only interchnage the coil connected with capacitor. If direction of running is opposite, interchange terminals of any one of the coil with supply.
