We bought a house and at sometime the switch from the ceiling fan was removed. I’d like to get it running again, but I am not sure what the capped off internal wires need to be connected to. Any help would be appreciated !  |

Something is definitely missing. Is there a place a pullchain would go? If not it might be remote powered and the receiver is missing.

Nevermind I see the pullchain socket. If you're lucky, all you need is a 3 speed pullchain.
Try connecting black to grey, and leave the others capped off. Let us know what happens.

Thanks for the quick response I will try that after lunch and update

Ok black to grey = motor spins

Does the reverse switch reverse the motor with that connection?
If so, try
pink to black
yellow to black
Along with grey to black, those should be 3 distinct speeds

Ty- yes the reverse switch worked. I did try pink to black & yellow to black. I do not have the fan blades attached so was not able to see the speed differences, but you’ve got me to where I wanted to be. Thanks so much for your help!

You should be able to get a 3 speed pullchain at Menards, or your local hardware store. L is black, 1 is grey, pink and yellow would be 2 and 3-- not sure which is which, you want the speeds to go High Medium Low.

On fans with 3 speed motor, whichever wire goes directly to a reverse switch is high. Not all gray wire is for high. I know on 3 speed 52" reversible American Hunter Original, gray wire is for low. |

Normally on Halsey products, grey is high. But that's why I suggested they experiment until they get the right order of speeds.

But on this fan, yellow wire is what goes to a reverse switch so it's high. On fans with winding taps, a wire that goes to a reverse switch is for high. Reverse switch switches polarity of main windings, and auxiliary windings has one wire on each end plus two taps meaning four wires. One end connects to a capacitor which connects to a neutral wire. Other end connects to a reverse switch and on high speed position of the chain switch. The taps just go to "2" and "3" of the chain switch. The wires on auxiliary windings in order are: capacitor which goes to white, low, medium, reverse switch and high if direct powered. |

Arent you the same guy who doesnt know what a rheostat is? |

Arent you the same guy who doesnt know what a rheostat is? I always know that rheostat is a variable resistor, and know that they do not chop current, they just reduce/limit current, but they don't lower voltage strictly. They do not cause net DC or chopping current. |
