Great video ,simple and understand , thank you . But I have a HUNTER 3 speed chain control , so what kind of part fit to replacement
@@nghivo1303 I'm not familiar with the Hunter brand. I guess a Hunter switch?
You forgot to put a fresh pop tart in the new globe. 😂👍
Dang it you're right! I'll go back up there today & throw one in.

Was it a Kitchler fan?🤣🤣🤣. Good job using your second brain (aka notepad)! Good job, GoBRO!
Hadn’t had a 10 bagger trash out in a minute.
Good job skid!
We've hit a "nasty pocket" this month. 3 nastys in a row moved out. Rare but it happens. Thank you so much for watching Chewy!

Thanks for sharing this Lex! The switch you replaced was the exact one I was replacing(diff colored wires of course). I'll save your amazon link for future purchases!
Fantastic! Thank you for saving my link! And, thank you so much for watching
Steve!
@@LexVance you're welcome Vance! It's really best if those wires are tinned before putting them into their slots. A little solder makes them easier to snap in. I had to use electrical tape to make sure each one stayed in place while doing the next. I changed out the switch with the fan mounted in the ceiling so it was a bit tedious but great video!
Hey Lex and everyone! Starting my new job tomorrow in student housing as maintenance. Excited but also bummed about it. Was in my old job (apt maint) for four years making just shy of $20/hr. Had to leave because property manager was making it a living hell. Just could not do it anymore. New place says they are very laid back and I won't see the favoritism and stressful environment that I just left but I also won't see the $. I feel that, in my experience, property mangers are the worst part of a Maintenance person's job. It was so bad there but I won't get into it all but it was bad.
Right on! I did 8 years in student housing. Thank you so much for watching Jeff!

Residents are never happy to see you. They're relieved. I shop at the same supermarket as most of our residents and maybe 3 out of 10 even acknowledge me.
You're so right. Thank you so much for watching Marc!

Man, I've had residents drive away and stop to tell me bye and thanks, tell me how nice I was and always helpful. When I go into the unit it looks horrible and they've left all kinds of crap around the compactor.
It's so rude & disrespectful.
Great that was very helpful 👍

What up skid! I been a tech for about a month now and pretty much learning by bumping my head or school of hard knocks, but I fixed a fan today in a renew today because of you. Thank you. Your like a real life Tim Taylor. “Tool time” without all the accidents. I salute you.

I never thought about cooking a pop tart that way...
Interesting 🤔
(Grabs pop tart and heads to living room...)

Tips for the light switch pull chain? There's a little trim piece at the bottom it has to fit through, but I had a problem because when I put on a pull chain extension, it doesn't pull down because the linkage can't fit through that trim
Hmm, I'd have to be there to see what was going on. Thank you so much for watching Super Janitor!
Thank you so much Lex!!! Really helpful.
You're welcome Joana!
Yep. Want to write those down or take a cel phone foto.
Learned the hard way too late.
Not remembering where things went back is a terrible feeling. 😵😭

Lex Vance, you’ll set it on fire! Almost like a dryer fire, eh Skid bro?🤣🤣🤣
Next, replace the capacitor! I can see it has no fast speeds, and high speed is more like medium on most ceiling fans.
Right on! Thank you so much for watching!
Glad you have the rent houses and not me, I had five several years ago, nothing but a nightmare dealing with these low life renters, finally sold all of them...never again.

What are the charge rate for people trashing the place and breaking things? Just curious.
$25 per bag of trash. Depends on the price of items broken as well. Thank you so much for watching Erick!
Thanks this help alot. Wasn't sure about wire colors
Thank you so much for watching coyotech!
My wires WON'T Pull out?🤔🙄
I hope everything works out for you David! 🤞
Have you ever thought maybe the chain broken they are cheaply made
Yes I have. Thank you so much for watching Henry!
My flush mount 3 speed fan wobbles on high speed. Could I disconnect that wire? Is 1 high 2 medium and 3 low speed? Or is 1 low 2 medium and 3 low?
On the fan I have, 1 high , 2 med, 3 low. The wires just pull out so you can try it.
@@LexVance thanks. I'll try. Sounds too easy.
I'm just now seeing this message. So sorry. 😭
😊Great, and helpful thanks🙂
Thank you so much for watching John!
Yes to the new guys and show us the trade and tip brotha

What if you have strand wire ni solid ?
I'd need to be there for this head scratcher 🤔.
i'm a maintance tech in Ralgeigh NC seems like the tentants you help the most screw you the hardest
I need to replace the chain that comes down the center piece. Do you have instructions for that?
I'd need to be there to look at it. They all have different wiring and styles.
@@LexVance would be nice if I could send a pic
Thank you! Your video was simple and straightforward. I followed your steps
and changed the three way switch because the chain had snapped off. So simple! And there’s me thinking I needed to call an electrician. A $7 switch instead. You rock!
Awesome! Thank you so much for watching Mo!
Good Video. BTW, why are you wearing gloves? You did turn off the power. Extra carefull? :)
I was in a nasty vacant & dusty fan blades are disgusting . Dust is mostly human skin & that creeps me out. Power was off because the light kit is unplugged from the fan when I made the repair. Thank you so much for watching Barry!

A friend of mine’s sister lives in Oceanside, CA. We were there for her 70th birthday. During the party someone broke the pull chain inside the switch. I went to Lowe’s the next day and got a new switch. She was happy the fan worked again.
Noice! Thank you so much for watching Air Repair!

You're welcome Joaquin! Thank you so much for watching!
1:39 here, get all this crap. I feel for you, dude. Been there. 🖖
Thank you so much for watching IT Works!
seeing as the light kit has its own switch have you ever considered cutting off the light kits pullchain so its always in the on position and and only using the wall switch? would never have to replace a light switch pullchain after that. could also use a fan speed controller and do away with the pullchain on the fan but seeing as the toggle wall switch speed controllers cost 3-4 times as much as the replacement pullchain that might be a harder sell
Right on. I'd have to ask the manager to make a change like that. Great idea! Thank you so much for watching James!

@@LexVance now I broke one of the terminals and I cut it back but it keeps crushing up the wires.
So much cluster and bs for a gust of wind
I know right. They pack them things tight with wires & plastic boxes. Thank you so much for watching Marco!

i ordered my switch today. thanks.
Thank you so much for watching Mike!
Greetings. I'm having the hardest time putting wires back in switch. It's attached to the ceiling fan still
Yea, sometimes i have to grab a thin nail to open the slot & push the wire in. See if that helps. Thank you so much for watching Country Living!
@@LexVance Thanks so much for the advice. I'll try this and post the results. 🙏🏾👌🏾
Great viddo! I did exactly what you said and now I have 3 super fast spins and one slow spin and no off. What did I do wrong?
Hmmm it's hard to tell by not being there. Something went to a wrong slot I assume. Hard to diagnose over internet.
Hi Donna, did you ever figure out the issue with your replacement? I am running into the same problem. I matched up my wires to the same numbers on the replacement, however my old broken switch was taller and had two black L wires coming out. The replacement I found only had space for one black. Thanks for great video also! :)
Hi lex my ceiling fan makes a ticking sound coming from the housing when it’s on medium and high speed and ideas? Thanks
Hmmmm, I get on a ladder & spin it with my hand & see what position the fans in when the click happens. Sometimes things need tightening & sometimes a sticker or string will be clicking. Tighten globes, bulbs, & make sure pull string isn't clicking against the glass globe. Thank you so much for watching cristobal!

I had a couple try to move out at 2 in the mourning ... They didn't know that the county deputy was a friend of mine ... So they asked if they could write a check for the back rent ... Lol ... But they did pay in cash and cursed me as they went ...
