    On the switch:
    The green goes to ground.
    The white neutral goes to white neutral.
    The black goes to the black power.
    The red goes to the black power from the fan.
    If you are getting a blue flash and clicking that repeats it's because the red is most likely not hooked to the right wire.
    The basic way to think of this is that the power from the house (black) connects to the switches black wire ( giving power to switch) then the red wire (when switched on) gives that power to the fan unit thru the black wire from the fan.
    The white neutral completes the circuit. The green grounds it.
    No matter how weird your wiring is there will be a black power wire and from that same cord will be the white neutral.
    The problem I'm having is that the switch will not pair to the fan unit. So the four buttons don't do a thing. I have even switched out all the parts with another whole unit incase something shorted on initial install.

      The original fan unit had an error so a replacement of the unit fixed it.

      I am having the same problem as the on and off button does everything and the 4 buttons just exist for no reason. By pressing the on/off button, changes the functions for light, fan and speakers. Can't access the night light or blue light. By pressing the on/off a few time would led me to a flashing blue light but up-on pressing LIGHT on the switch, it will quickly turn day LED lights and the buttons would not work. No sure of wiring or switch is faulty. Any recommendation anyone? Tried calling support but I am always home and they are not open for business.

    Thank you very much for the video. Double thumbs up to your wife for her simple explanation. The only thing I did differently was I connected the red wire on the back of the supplied switch to the red wire that traveled to the ceiling. I then connected the red wire in the ceiling to the black wire of the fan. I capped off the black wire in the ceiling since that wire powers the other two lights that I have in my bathroom. Before finding your video I was about to call an electrician. Again thank you both very much.

After looking through the instructions I thought to myself, "RUclips". Thanks for the explanation. It helped tremendously. Got to go buy a voltmeter before starting.

    I was very successful with installing mine, but only after 8-hours of cutting out a larger opening for it and having to also totally re-think the ducting work. I found a 4" to 3" inch reduction duct fitting that works fantastically and even speeds up the airflow as it forces the air into a smaller duct going though the smaller duct tube from the big one that the fan housing has. The wiring for mine was very easy and straight forward as I am already equipped with neutral wiring throughout my 21-year old home. All in all, I love this vent fan! The lighting is awesome with the normal white and the two nightlight settings of amber and cobalt blue. The Bluetooth speaker connected instantly to my phone and to my iPad! I love this fan so much that I went out and bought two more for my other bathrooms!

    • @Boja23
      @Boja23 3 года назад +1

      Only a lefty would think that reducing the duct from 4" to 3" would actually speed it up. Okey doke, potato.

  • @jessemanson3722
    @jessemanson3722 5 лет назад +3

    If you purchased the 100cfm model that comes with the electrical switch, it is on its own circuit completely separate from the existing switches in the bathroom. The only thing you have to do is run power to the fan via the black wire.

  • @jonbebus4092
    @jonbebus4092 7 лет назад +2

    Excellent video. I am having the same problem and am getting ready to experiment tonight. Following your lead, I think I will start with.... black wire on switch to the power from the house, Red wire on the switch to the black wire going to the fan, white wire on the switch to the white wire going to the fan, and green on the switch to ground.

    Ok. It looks like your wiring in your box is exactly how mine is. I wired my same fan unit the way you did and thought I had success. I paired the switch as it said to do in the instructions. Everything worked including Bluetooth. But then after pairing, none of the function buttons work. I push them in vain. Any thoughts on what has gone wrong? Thanks.

      @@ryanjohnson7572 Yes! I figured out that one of the thin bare wires (there are 4) that go into the socket (4 separate hole) was bent and didn't go into its assigned hole. The others did and those functions worked. I went up to the unit and discovered this issue and fixed it and then the pairing was successful. Thanks for asking.

    It's pretty simple. Basically if there are 2 switches the only thing that wont need to be there is a jumper wire from the black wire. Instead the black wire from the fan control goes to the bundle of black wires and the red wire goes to the black wire leading to the fan. The rest link up to common sense. You're welcome
