Hi guys first time here. I bought a ceiling fan with light with remote. I hooked up receiver like it shows in manual w+w b+b blue+blue. Out the other side of receiver is is just white and black. Also i have one switch wall in the ceiling is white ,black, and red. I didnt mention ground cause thats easy. What wires hook to new fan/light if i turn switch off both black and red seem to have power and white nothing tried some stuff but cant get it to work any help would be great and i thank anyone now for the help.
Is the wall switch just a single toggle? Does both black and red turn off when you turn it off?
The three wire set up you have is to allow a switch that controls both the lights and the fan. Your new fan does that through the remote control so it is only necessary to send power through either the red or black.
I tend to cap the red, and use the back. You’d simply screw a wire nut onto the red to prevent it from shorting against anything. Wire nut black to black and white to white.
When it’s wired turning on the switch isn’t going to do anything by itself. You need to use the remote to turn it on and off. Turning the switch off will always turn off both the light and the fan. Turning the switch on, the fan and switch will go back to what the remote was set at.
