I have a Hunter Robbins Myers 22272-504 ceiling fan. The fan switch apparently was defective and replaced at one time. When I pull the chain the fan runs at a low speed, pull it again a faster speed, pull it again it turns off, then again it remains off. My guess it was replaced with the wrong switch. Is there a parts list anywhere for this fan?? Does it have a capacitor?? I see some oil on the inside of the lid- does this fan need to be oiled?
Thanks

The fan has two speeds. The original 2-speed pullchain (with two speed positions) was replaced by a common 3-speed replacement (with three speed positions). Seeing as the replacement pullchain has an extra speed position, there is going to be an extra 'off' position in the switch.
The current configuration with the switch has the 'low' lead in the '1' position and the high lead in the '2' position (or maybe positions 2 and 3).
Because two speed pullchains are more difficult to find, you could mitigate this issue by rearranging the speed wires in the pullchain, putting the 'high' lead in the '1' hole and the 'low' position in the '3' hole.. that way, the pullchain would work "high/off/low/off."
As far as oil is concerned.. yes, your fan needs to be oiled. I'd use either the factory-recommend SAE10 motor oil or Zoom Spout Oiler.

Thanks for your responses. On the question of capacitors...I do not see any so my guess there is none. I checked for the oil with the pipe cleaner....must be very low....will have to put get some.
