3 Speed Ceiling Fan Only Has 2 Speeds

On the third pull it will turn off.

3 speed ceiling fan only has 2 speeds. Basically pulling the chain cycles between medium medium low and off. Turning the knob to high or medium did nothing. 3 speed ceiling fan only has 1 speed 3 answers i have a 3 speed hunter ceiling that i rarely turn off and all 3 speeds had been working. Because it occurred within a few months of the remodel and because our house s wiring has always been a little bit flakey anyway i figured that there must be some sort of electrical problem.

Two of the fans are working without a single flaw but i discovered one of the fans has issues with speed. I think i even bought the last three they have left but i digress. Has anyone had this problem before. When on pulling the chain once or twice doesn t alter the speed.

The 4 wire switch has markings on one side that shows l 1 2 3. The l stands for load which is the black wire. I recently turned it off and when i turned it back on only the high speed is working. 1 2 3 are the fan speed control wires.

I assumed the switch was bad and replaced it. 3 speed ceiling fan with only 2 speeds. The ceiling fan would turn on by using the wall switch but it would only work on one speed low speed. My fan would work on low speed and high speed but when i selected medium speed i got low speed.

It s like the clutch is broken and can t get out of third gear. The kitchen ceiling fan used to have 3 speeds but now only has high speed. I still only have the high speed.
