Renovating the extra bedroom in the house and am replacing an older ceiling fan with a newer fan. Kind of stumped about the wiring, and thought I'd post here and give a shot at it. Instructions with the fan kit were useless. I know the wires in the box are copper(not sure if this matters).
Scenario: Box in ceiling: 3 wires. Red, Black and white. Ground on fan housing. Fan/light: 3 wires. Blue, Black, white and ground.
Connected green to green and white to white. So far, so good. Manual says to connect blue and black on fan side to black in box. That leaves a red left, which I'm not sure what to do with. From what I can tell, it's a hot wire(and logically red means hot).
This is probably an extremely simple thing, but it's frustrating the heck out of me... Can anyone help me out? Thanks for your help in advance.
