Hi all,
I have a whole house fan and need to replace the switch for it. I cant seem to find it and the brains at home depot and lowes cant find it either. So I wanted to ask here.
Its pretty basic, I just want a 3 position switch (not a dimmer) for off/low/high
Hot comes in and either goes to the "high" line or the "low" line that goes to the motor. The junction box I have is pretty shallow, I could probably replace it, but would prefer not to. The one that came with the fan was bigger than the junction box could easily handle, I forced it in, and after a month it cracked and stopped working. I replaced it with a regular switch, but now the fan only works at "high", but sometimes I dont want it on full power. Home depot and lowes only sell regular switches, or 3 way or 4 way (not what I need) or they sell their fancy digital stuff, which doesnt meet the need either.
Any suggestions? I tried searching ebay and amazon for 3 position ac switch and nothing turned up, so I am sure that I just have the wrong terminology. Can you guys help me out?
Thanks!
Rick
