Wiring a ceiling fan with light 3 black wires and white free#
This is very frustrating. Any suggestions, any help, tips would be much appreciated! I could also upload pics if needed for clarification, feel free to ask me anything (: Sorry for my bad grammar, English isn't my first language. I know I'm doing something wrong but not sure what. Connect the green to green, white to white. So I'm not entirely sure what's going on here. The black wire on the fan is the supply wire of the fan, the blue one is the light. Could this be a faulty piece? I mean the light on the device does go on and it does power the outlets/the fan. I can't figure it out, I don't know what I'm doing wrong here or if I'm missing something. Other times it gave power to neither of them. But never got the light to work. Next I tried splitting the 3 black wires with the two from the switch and alternated, trying diff combinations once I was able to use the switch to toggle the outlets on and off, and once I was able to toggle the fan on and off. Doing this gave power to the fan and the outlets but the light didn't work. I tried screwing all 5 black wires (2 from the HS200 and 3 from the box), screwed green with red (assuming they're both ground) and white with whites. Black wires always signify the positive, or hot, leg of the current, while white wires signify negative, also called neutral or return. Besides those, there's one red/copper (going into the single pole light switch) and 2 white ones screwed together (assuming these are neutral) I figured out that the extra black wire actually powers the outlets in this specific room. inserting the probes of a tester into the wire connectors on the black and the white wires.

One of them is exposed in the middle and ties around the screw on the single pole switch. HOW TO INSTALL DOWNROD CEILING FANS Fan housing Hanging pin. Now in my box there's an odd number of black wires all pigtailed together, total of three. Actually just the light, the fan is operated by a pullchain, thus toggling the switch turns on/off only the light. Hello all, so I'm trying to replace my single pole light switch that powers on/off the light/fan combo.
