Hey all, I picked up 2 new huggers: A Winnower hugger with the big motor shell a PB 42" Hugger Said fans have unusual wiring, and I'll enclose pics to demonstrate   whoever had them before me used different colors to substitute the typical white wire. |

Should I connect white w/ purple?
and black w/ white on the Winnower?

Connect them together, or to the lights?
What are the wires at the top of the motors?
Where did you get these?

The PB Hugger has 4 wires on top: The purple is connected with the white, plus the blue is connected with the black.
I got these at Goodwill.

The Winnower has the white, black and blue on top, so how should I wire in the light?

Oh, I see. Hmm, I'm not sure how that would work.

Ok, in the one, the light connects to blue (hot) and purple (neutral).
In the other one, it should still connect to blue and white, so trace the wires back.

As for the AB fan (Winnower), it was easy to remedy, meaning I simply had to shove the black wire down the shaft and reconnect it to the black wire coming out of the pull-chain unit.
Thanks for all your help

As for the PB hugger, I yanked out that extra purple wire and simply connected a white wire along with the other white ones (like on a typical ceiling fan configuration)
I had to do the same thing to the white wires on the AB fan in this thread, so I think I'm good to go.
Hence I 'normalized' the odd wiring

Always a good idea to save future confusion.
