I have a Hunter 23852 fan (10 yrs old), controlled by a Hunter 3-speed fan box (22961A). The med and high settings have never worked. Low worked for years, the became intermittent (had to jiggle the knob) and now hardly works at all. When the low setting does work, I can go to the fan chain and toggle the speed (though it seemed slower on fast than my downstairs same fan does).
SOURCE: 3-speed switch replaced with hampton bay switch. Only low speed works.
The cause to the problem was replacing a HUNTER fan switch with a Hampton Bay switch. Before removing the old switch, I noted and marked the color and position of the 4 wires. I then duplicated the connections to the new switch.
But the wire positions of Hampton Bay vs Hunter are not identical, therefore 2 wires
were crossed.
The correct way is to note the color of the wires with the corresponding NUMBER
marked on the switches, then duplicate this on the new one.
Du-uh!
SOURCE: My Hunter fan will only switch from high to low speed and won't
if the three speed switch is functioning the middle speed winding is bad. Either replace the fan or hook up a wall speed control and keep the fan on high.
SOURCE: Fan stuck on LOW speed
It seems to me you have a faulty switch or the internal wiring is wrong. You can access the switch from the bottom of the fanwhere the light kit is connected. the wiring could have gotten mixed up when the light kit was installed.
SOURCE: Hunter ceiling fan-just installed -possible speed control problem
Sounds like the fan is defective. All internal wiring from the switch to the motor is factory installed. The fan has power going to it. Just to make sure, double check the wiring from the ceiling fixture to the fan.
Problem could be a faulty switch on the fan or faulty motor(bad winding for med. speed). Try reverse switch on the fan to operate the opposite direction and see if medium speed works. If medium does work in opposite direction, it pretty much points to a defective fan. In any case, unless you discover that the ceiling wires were reversed going into the fan, I'd say new fan to the returns dept.
SOURCE: I have a hunter ceiling fan its about 20 years
there is a small black box in with the wireing on the fan unit ...this box controlls the fan through your remote ...it is esentially a switch this unit is likely the cause ...remove and replace .....
