Replacing Hunter 4-speed Ceiling Fan 5-wire Pull Switch - WoodTinker - 03-04-2016
The Zing Ear ZE-268S5 Pull switch is a 5-wire 4-speed type
Lowes & HD do not sell this pull switch.
So the chain broke outside the switch a couple Years Ago
1) took the switch apart and added more chain... Fixed
Last month the chain broke inside the switch
1) Took it apart and tried to remove the end of the chain from the internal plastic piece and broke the plastic piece. It is too small and too brittle to glue back
2) went looking for a replacement on Amazon. Thought I could make it work. Wrong.
3) Mapped the internal connections on the 5 pulls along with which colored wire goes where
Off
L-1
L-2-3-4
L-3-4
L-4
Found the part at:
http://www.ceilingfanparts.com/images/pullchainsw.htm
It is part#94, the only one with 5 wires and the 3-stepped rotating internal main connector.
Hope this helps someone else here.
You ask why I don't have one with a remote? Cause the other one with remote transceiver died after 2 years and a replacement transceiver was more than I wanted to spend.

I added a remote switch from HD to a ceiling fan that had problems with the pull chain. I think it was about $30. No more chain. Now the fan and light are controlled at the wall switch with the added bonus of a greater number of speeds and brightness. I couldn't be happier.

I have had 2 different remote switches die one phone call each time resulted in free replacements shipped to me.

Hunter is off my list after a round with them on their switch problems. Almost set my house on fire due to a short.They had me send in the switch to quality control. They sent me a second(improved) switch that did the same thing a year later. They are not a company you should do business with, in my opinion.

Was this past the warranty?
Mine was.

And yet another spammer stops by to take a dump in the forum...

as a moderator on a different forum, quoting a spammer instead of reporting is probably not what the mods want you do to here. Just report and they'll take care of it. I already did

How come you think that is a spammer? Looks more like someone found another source and was kind enough to share.
