4 Position Rotary Switch

The pull chain switch on my fan broke. So, not wanting to go through another broken string, I bought this rotary switch and it works perfectly. My only critique is that the threaded stem is not keyed nor is there a guide pin. I had to double nut it to keep it from spinning.

As described, works great on my vintage Hunter desktop fan.

Quality switched used to repair a vinrage Westinghouse fan. Easy to follow directions and smooth operation.

Was simple but not weather resistant. Worked for about 2 months.

This 4 position, 3 ON switch was utilized in the effort to retain all 3 fan speeds after the electronic control board began failing on our 10 year old cooler. Description for product is good. Quality of switch is good and appropriate for this price point. The control knob is sturdy and connections solid. The included female spade connectors are basic quality, but not trash, and were used in my efforts. There is a 5th terminal that passes power in all 3 ON positions. One could possibly use this terminal as power ON to the cooler pump when the fan is operating and have a one and done solution to get their cooler up and running. The toughest part of the installation was drilling and filing the mounting hole to final size to fit the switch correctly. (Picture note: The red switch operates the cool pump and the white switch is a push and hold ON switch from a clothes dryer door for the purge/drain pump.)

This is a solid feeling switch. It won't do what I want as-is, so I'm going to have to add some circuitry, but I believe it will hold up well for a long time. For those who are confused about the truth table as I was, position 1 (fully ccw), no terminals are connected. For positions 2-4, the two bottom terminals connect together and one upper terminal is connected to them. Each in order.

The only complaint is the power wiring diagram that come with it. about 30 seconds with a meter and a guy can figure it out though. Basically the one extra terminal is switched to incoming power when the switch is in any of the 3 positions except off. When off this terminal is isolated. This could be used to power an indicator that the switch is no longer in the off position.Would buy again, great quality.

Did not work on my fan hooked up wires to the right places also not instructions for wire
