My fairly old ceiling fan needs a speed control switch replacement. It's a
three-speed fan with a three wire switch. There are no capacitors; instead
it appears to use some kind of smallish transformer looking device for speed
control. My Googling to find what the circuit might look like has been
fruitless. Can someone point me toward an educational source of speed
control schemes for these fans or else explain to me how mine works?
You can buy a replacement at most larger hardware stores fairly
cheap, probably for less that you could repair the bad one.. Usually,
it is the switch contacts that fail. If the inductor fails, you'll
smell burning shellac of Formvar insulation.
