wiring a ceiling fan with light with dimmer switch switch

So the Dual switch that controls the ceiling fan has The Black Wire from the main power to the top of the switch, The other top wire at the ceiling fan Dual switch is the BLack wire that runs to the Ceiling Fan (assuming to run the fan light, and the Bottom wire is the White wire which appears to operate with the bottom switch (of the dual switch) when it is turned assumed for the fan motor.Ĭrazy thing is this is how the home builder (Beezer Homes) wired the home when new in 95).

(no connection to Ceiling Fan)Īll three bare ground wires are connected together. White Wire is spliced to just the upsidedown wall outlet. So it looks as if the white wire in the ceiling is used as a hot for the light rather than a neutral wire as is common.įrom the main power, there are three wires:īlack wire has nut that is spliced to both the Dual Switch (that controls the ceiling fan) and the other switch which operates the upsidedown wall outlet. One switch makes the black wire hot (for the motor), and the other switch makes the white wire hot (for the integrated light).

I'm replacing a ceiling fan and it has three wires as is common: black, white, and bare ground.
