Hi..
I was helping a friend install a new ceiling fan & light recently and the old bx wire was all broken and cracked, so we decided to replace it with new wire.
In the attic, we installed a box with the 3 wires (wire from power, wire to switch, new wire to fan). We followed the same wiring that was already there, but I just realized it might be wrong. I think I connected the white from the power to the switch wire, then the return (from the switch) to the white of the fan. The black goes directly from the power to the fan.
My friend says the fan works great and the switch works, but I really believe I installed the switch on the neutral and not the hot.
What kind of problem is this? Should I hurry back over and fix this?
Thanks.
