I need a little help wiring my ceiling fan.Coming from the ceiling:2 green wiresground wirewhite wireblack wirered wireComing from fan:green wireblue wireblack wirewhite wireCan anyone please explain what wires to connect to what.
From Ceiling..............................Fro... Fan 2 Green Wires/Grnd Wire...to......Green Wire White Wire....................to..........Whit... Wire Black Wire....................to..........Blac... Wire Red Wire.......................to.........Bl... Wire the Blue Wire from your Fan is the power wire to the Light the Black Wire from your Fan is the power wire to the Fan, this how you operate the turning on and off of the fan and light separate from your wall switch just as the black wire from the ceiling operates the fan and the red wire from your ceiling operates the lights
the blue and black are hot. i think the blue is so you can control the fan on a seperate switch from the light. green and bare is ground, white is neutral.
green wires are also ground wires... sounds like it was wired for a double switch, meaning if you opened the box where your light switch is there may be a black or red wire capped off... that allows you to run the light and fan on separate switches... as for the fan, read the instructions, the black and blue will control the fan and light. If you hook them both to the hot then the switch will turn them both on or off and you will have to control them separately by the pull chain. all green and ground together with a wire nut... all the whites together with a wire nut... and black and blue from the fan to the black from the ceiling if that's the (most likely) hot wire (or it could be the red).. so the black/blue and black together with a wire nut will put it all on one switch. if you want to control them separately than add a switch and put black with black and blue with red.
I installed 3 ceiling light fan combos last yr. I too was perplexed and it took me longer to do than an electrician. I can only recommend that you closely follow the directions that came with you setup. The Chinese directions are not much help, but they may help. Good luck!
IF THE FAN ALSO HAS A LIGHT, IT IS EITHER THE BLUE OR BLACK ONE. aLSO CALLED THE HOT WIRES. THE HOT WIRES IN THE CEILING SHOULD BE THE BLACK AND RED ONES.YOU NEED TO FIND WHICH ONE IS HOT WHEN THE FAN OR LIGHT SWITCH IS TURNED ON. THE WHITE WIRES ARE TO BE CONNECTED TOGETHER. THE GREEN FAN WIRE AND CEILING GROUND WIRES ARE TO BE CONNECTED.DON'T KNOW WHY 2 GREEN WIRES IN CEILING ALSO.
