I got a Westinghouse 77288 dual capacitor pull switch and replaced the wires exactly as they were. I got slow,slower and slowest but no turnoff. Is there a replacement switch that I can get a a local hardwear store?
Even if the switch looks the same on the outside doesn't mean it's the same on the inside. Let me know the model # of fan and I might have a switch to sale you. [email protected]

I googled Hampton Bay Manufacturing and this is what I found:
Hampton Bay fans are manufactured by "King of Fans Manufacturing, FL". The contact number for them is 800-330-3267. ...
Maybe they can supply you with a wiring diagram.

I am in the middle of doing this now. 1 = Yellow; 2 = Blue; 3 = White; and L = Black.

The reverse switch on my Hampton Bay ceiling fan didn't work. I cut the 6 wires; 1 white, 1 gray, 2 pink, 2 yellow. Here's what I did. Removed reverse switch. Had 6 wires white, gray, 2 yellow, 2 pink. Connected gray to yellow, connected white to pink and fan runs fine. Is this OK? I do not need to reverse fan. It's been running for 1 hour now with no problems. Don S.

If you have these colors the locations are:
L Black
1 Gray
2 Brown
3 Green
SOURCE: Why does a table fan slow down after some time?
Revolving blades in table fans pushes out air towards the front by creating a vacuum at the back of the induction motor. Other than providing air flow, the gush of air also cools the motor. Over time, esp if used in a polluted surrounding, dust collects inside the motor and causes friction in the shaft. If left for a prolonged period, this friction causes heat eventually drying up the lubrication, causing breakdown in the motor amature windings and also a leaky starting capacitor, thus slowing down rotation and also a complete failure.
2. Fans must be regularly taken apart, cleaned and lubricated. It is fairly easy if you are willing to learn. My India made Usha brand table fan is 48 years old and is still running smooth - just changed the start capacitor last year and my National ceiling fans are more than 35 years old.
3. In fact all moving parts in any equipment must be periodically taken apart, cleaned free of dust and grime and freshly lubricated. It will outrun your lifetime and serve the next few generations.
