2 Pack Ceiling Fan Replacement Parts 268S6 - 3 Speed 4 Wire Pull Chain Switch for Ceiling Fans & Wall Lamps (Gold) - Perfect for Home, Office, and Commercial Spaces

Fan works like new.I wished I saw this product page first; would have saved me 2 hours of research & a wasted trip to Home Depot.Key is knowing if this is a correct replacement switch. The old switch had manufacturer ID inscribed that match one listed on the product description. Perfect. I had 4 wires but then had to determine if I had 2 or 3 capacitors for 3 fan speeds, and was reading specifications of dozens of switches on various websites . Seeing a match for the old Manufacturer Model number (Wu Pin # E198635) was nirvana.TURN OFF POWER (Circuit breaker better than wall switch) to the Fan before inspecting or doing any work. You will have to remove the Fan cover to access the switch & capacitor and all the wires. When you remove the old switch, be sure to note the colored wire assignments - in my case, L=black, 1=white, 2=brown and 3=purple. Then PULL out, don't cut, the wires from the old switch. You can insert the wires into the new switch from the SIDE (use the smallest blade screwdriver to push in the brass color contacts). I made the mistake of inserting through the top holes (it's not funny). In my case, I had the use the furnished switch screw-in collar (gold vs. my old antique which was too small for the new switch).Then, re-install the Fan cover. Turn on the circuit breaker, and pull the switch.I couldn't find these in the local Home Depot or Lowe's stores and so after I ordered with Amazon I got them delivered the next day. My children and I installed it on both our kitchen fans/lights and lo and behold they work like a charm. Now, we have three different speeds in our fans and the lights work too. One thing that we remembered to do correctly this time was to write down the numbers and the color of the wire that goes in it as that is crucial if you want the fan speeds to work correctly. We didn't do that last time and had to suffer for over a year without the right speed of the fan. Lessons learned!Loved how easy it was to fix our fan! 15 minutes and it was done!I recommend taking a picture of the failed switch including the wiring and labeling on the switch before you disconnect the failed switch.Also you are supposed to pull the wires out of the failed switch and then push the wires into the side of the new Switch using a small screwdriver.Many thanks to other reviewers who gave detailed instructions on this.Easy replaceBetter directions would have been nice..Example the direction that the wire should be inserted into the switchAfter asking an electrician I was able to install the switch and it works just fine2 fans had broken chainsEs una buena refacción, una opción para no gastar demasiado en reparacióes por parte de un técnico, solo se necesitan conocimientos básicos y te ahorras un buen dinero.Cumple con el propósito para el que fue hecho, fácil de instalar.Cumplen su función a la.
