Ceiling Fan Switch Guide: Find Your Replacement

Match your old switch by wire count, terminal letters and pull-chain positions, then order the replacement that fits.

Quick answer. Count the wires on your old switch, read the letters next to its terminals (L, 1, 2, 3) and count the pull positions. Those three facts tell you the category below.

Safety first. Turn off the power at the breaker and confirm the fan is dead before you open the switch housing. Photograph the wiring before you disconnect anything.

How to read terminals and pull positions

  • L is line: the power coming in (the black wire).
  • 1, 2, 3, 4 are the motor speed terminals.
  • Positions show which terminals are joined to the power at each chain pull. L-2 means L is connected to terminal 2.
  • 4-hole / 4-wire both mean four terminals: L, 1, 2, 3.
  • Wafer is one layer of the switch. Dual-wafer switches have two layers and 5 to 8 wires.

Part number crossover

Search by the number printed on your old switch. Some numbers exist in more than one circuit, so always check which terminal carries the power wire.

Ceiling fan switch FAQ

How do I know which ceiling fan switch I need?

Count the wires, read the terminal letters and count the pull-chain positions on your old switch, then match them to the categories above.

Why is the power wire on a different terminal on some 3 speed switches?

Fan makers wire 3 speed switches in different ways. On most, the power (black) wire goes to L. On some it goes to terminal 3, and some use a different terminal order (1-2-L-3). Match the power terminal and terminal order of your old switch.

Can I use any 3 speed switch on my fan?

No. The power terminal, terminal order and pull sequence must match your old switch.

Will this switch fit my Hunter, Hampton Bay or Harbor Breeze fan?

Fit depends on the wiring, not the brand. Each product page lists compatible fan models and part numbers.

Is the light switch the same as the fan speed switch?

No. The speed switch controls the motor. The light has its own 2-wire or 3-way switch.

My fan hums and will not start. Is it the switch?

It can be the switch, or the capacitor. Check the wiring first.

Not sure which one you have? Send us the numbers on your old switch and we will match it.
