My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Help needed in replacing broken ceiling fan switch

10 years ago

The chain broke on my 3 speed ceiling fan. Bought a new switch but need help wiring it to the bottom hub wiring. The hub had what looks like a black capacitor box with 4 wires that have to be connected to the replacement switch. Please see 3 linked pics


In which numbered slots on the new switch do I insert the blue brown purple and red wires?? Thanks for your help!
