My mother's ceiling fan (Homestead brand - no model # I can find) switch broke. The pull-chain pulled out of the switch. I drew a good diagram of how it's wired in and then removed it and went to Home Depot and got two replacements (there is another fan just like this one in a different room). I installed the replacement switch and now, instead of High - Medium - Low - Off when pulling the switch I get Off - Off - Low - Low I checked my diagram, I took the cover off the second fan anc checked my diagram against it. I tried the second replacement switch I had bought and I get the same thing. Can anyone suggest anything I should try? The fan worked fine before the switch broke. Thanks in advance. Any advice is appreciated.
