  • problems hooking up overhead fan?

    Do It Yourself (DIY) - 15 hours ago

    Additional Details

    okay, I am having problems with this stupid fan, I am sure I have the wires connected right, the green is connected to the bare, the white to the white, black to black and red to blue. But when I turn on the switch, the fan doesnt turn on. Its not the breaker, it has power.. what should I do? yes i tried the chains, but it still doesnt work. I just tried rewiring it, (ceiling first) white to white, black to blue, red to black, and bare to green, and the second switch worked with the fan, but the light still doesnt work. i have 2 switches and no idea what you mean by hots the fan has a blue, green, white, and black wire. the ceiling has white, black, bare and red. I have no idea what to hook up and what not, and I moved this from one room to another, so I dont have a manual. okay randy so to attach the fan to one switch attach them both to the black one? well i tried attaching both the blue and black from the fan to both the black and the red from the ceiling. if they are attached to the black, nothing works. If they are attached to the red, the light works, but the fan still doesnt okay i have the light turning on, but the fan isnt working, i think you are right and that there is a problem with the switch wiring. Is it difficult to fix this?

How to Create a Posh Holiday Porch

">5 simple ways to deck out your porch this holiday

Provided by Wish

1. Brush Up On Basics
Add warmth (and insurance against slips and falls!) by adding a coco mat runner. Swap in new, modern address numbers to instantly transform your front door.

2. Celebrate With Style
Avoid being predictable by hanging a long-lasting, industrial-style 3D star on your door instead of a wreath.

3. Boost Your Greenery
Give your porch some winter oomph by filling an urn or planter with a small, faux evergreen, complete with ornaments.

4. Let There Be Light
Bring your landscaping to life during drab winter weather by highlighting key features with white string lights. Line the steps with hurricane lanterns with LED pillar candles dropped inside.

5. Add Colour and Ingenuity
Wrap the banister in eucalyptus with blue Mardi Gras beads (you can get them at dollar stores or fabric trip shops) woven through it. Insider Tip: Unlike evergreen, eucalyptus leaves don't drop and they keep their colour and shape for weeks.
