Hi
I have done a lot of house wiring but this is a new one for me.
I have wired a fan/light combo using a 3 way switch circuit for the light and a separate switch circuit for the fan. The unit has a black for the fan, blue for the light and a common white ground.
After wiring it like this I had all kinds of strange things happen. I know the 3 way switches was correct as was the single fan switch.
I then wired it using just one switch for the light and it is working fine.
I have read that the problem lies with the use of a 3 way light circuit and the common ground, related to the electrical "phasing"???
Is there a way I can overcome this problem and go back to using the 3 way light circuit...I understand both the light circuit and fan circuit must be "out of phase". How would I achieve this??
