I can offer resources: 1) Test switch that was removed, and test for hot connection to narrow down options. What speed was fan stuck in when switch was removed? Let's say medium speed. Which connection at fan is hot? Use voltage tester to find hot connection at fan, and match that up with wire-color on switch that was removed. One and only one wire on 3-speed fan switch connects to hot. And the hot wire is the only wire that connects to each other wire as switch cycles through pull-chain sequence.
All pull chain switches follow same sequence: off, low, medium, high. Let's say old switch was stuck in medium, and you know which color wire connects to hot. Test switch with continuity tester to see which wire(s) have continuity with hot wire: some switches, it will be 2 wires, and other switches it will be 1 wire. Match where wire(s) were connected, and map that to tests on new switch. 2) Open following link for illustrations and some other links. Sep 16, 2011. These fans are manufactured by a number of overseas companies and sold exclusively by Home Depot.
They do not have a standard color code for the fan switch. What you can do is turn off the power, keep the white neutral connected. Then using the black power wire fro the ceiling, take one of the switch wires and connect to that black, turn the power on and observe the speed. Low mark it 1, medium mark it 2, high mark it 3. Repeat untill you have identified all the speed wires. Then connect these wires to the 1,2,3, terminations of your new switch Questions? May 29, 2010.
Hope this helps, use a switch from FANTEC. It'll be called a 3 speed fan switch. This will also say Single Layer 3 or 4 wire application SPLIT continuity function. THE SPLIT PART IS VITAL. Now when wire it.
The BLACK wire goes in SLOT 3. ORANGE wire goes in L. PURPLE wire goes in slot 2, ORANGE wire goes in slot 1. IF, and i repeat IF this does not work for you ensure you have a SPLIT CONTINUITY FUNCTION switch. NO MATTER WHAT the BLACK wire WILL go into slot 3. The ORANGE wire WILL go in slot L. Switch the orange and purple wires only.
ENSURE POWER IS OFF WHEN CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING WIRES. YOU WILL GET THE SNOT ZAPPED OUTTA YOU IF YOU DON'T. Please post if this helps. May 02, 2009.

First things first - as with all ceiling fans, there are a lot of parts to put together. From start to finish, it took the better half and I over an hour to get this assembled.
On the plus side, the instruction manual is absolutley dummie proof - every thing in the package is clearly marked and by going from one page to the next in the manual - you just can't mess up. The fan itself is beautiful and quiet. I like that and hope that it lasts as long as my last Hunter fan (22+ years. There were a few glitches. Once installed, the fan chain wouldn't pull - it had become somehow cod-locked in the assembly.

And boom, one of the bulbs blew immediately. Had to remove the light kit to loosen the chain. Once we had everything working properly it was time to turn the electric back on.
This time the fan worked just as advertised (although without one light). Better half called Hunter, and while he spent a while on hold - customer service was very friendly and helpful and is sending out another bulb via second day shipping. So that's a big positive for me.
The fan does work, but for me too many things wrong for me. The motor housing is a big bowl, but at the very top it recesses to a smaller ring. (not visible in Amazon's picture) That to me is odd, but okay, however the anchor point due to its design, leaves a small gap at the ceiling, There is a nub in the top ring and a recession to match in the ceiling bracket. So once the nub is in it's hole it sits down, below the ceiling, thus the gap (screws matched the nub, so I couldn't get it higher). Unless you look from underneath the fan, you see the recessed ring, and the gap to the ceiling. Annoying, but not a deal breaker. (the Hunter logo is big and obnoxious on a snow-white fan) The candelabra bulbs do stick out beyond the shades, ugly but not a deal breaker.
My deal-breaker - THE HUM! I bought this 'Whisper Wind Motor' because I was hoping for near-silent operation (at least on low speed) The actual rotation of the fan blades is nice and quiet at all 3 speeds, but there is a noticeable consistent hum no matter the speed.
Aloha Breeze 52 White Ceiling Fan Model 5745
Maybe I got a bad unit, but this is for a bedroom to be used while sleeping, and the hum is my deal-breaker. The fan does have 3 speeds: slow, slower and slowest. It is designed this way as a 'low profile' (14-3/4' ceiling to lowest shade point) fan. Because it's close to the ceiling it is not designed to move that much air. See Hunter's website for specs, but I didn't think the reduced CFM/RPM would be that drastic. The last point is on me, but I'll mention it, the ceiling bracket will accept 3½'+ diameter junction box screws. My old house (built 1959) had a properly anchored (nailed to the underside of the ceiling rafters) box with only a 3' diameter.
It took me 10x longer to remove the old box and install a new one than it did to actually install the fan. Again that is my (house's) fault not on Hampton, although they could have cut their holes to fit. I bought this fan to replace a 10+ year old Hampton Bay fan that developed a hum over time. This particular fan model 5745 Has a nice rubber ring to snug up to the ceiling, has a white logo, fit a 3' junction box, the fan is a little noisier, I do hear the fan blades move more that the Hunter, and now after age & use there is a hum.

So this fan is okay, if you don't mind the ceiling gap, the logo, the bulbs sticking out, the reduced speeds, it may be a good fan for you.3-4 stars if that was all that's bad, but down to 2 for me because of the hum. Maybe all fans hum, maybe just mine, that was my deal breaker. Hope this helps. First things first - as with all ceiling fans, there are a lot of parts to put together.

So that's a big positive for me. Just got it up this weekend. It's gorgeous! It's gives down and pulls up a lot of air. It comes within a hair of the ceiling like it is supposed to. It went up easily right where the old and only non Hunter fan in my home was. The candelabra light bulbs are very pretty as are the glass (I'm drawing a blank here.the glass things that are on the outside of the bulbs but not part of the bulbs).
I love both color options of the fan blades but chose the lighter shade to face down. All my fans are Hunter now. I can change bulbs every 8 or 10 using LED's and life is good:). The fan does work, but for me too many things wrong for me. The motor housing is a big bowl, but at the very top it recesses to a smaller ring. (not visible in Amazon's picture) That to me is odd, but okay, however the anchor point due to its design, leaves a small gap at the ceiling, There is a nub in the top ring and a recession to match in the ceiling bracket.

Hope this helps. Installed this fan today 7/18/17. I think the fan is cosmetically pleasing to look at BUT it is very slow compared to my old hunter and another brand in my home. Two screws that stabilize the motor mount were missing and one ceiling bracket was missing a shock bushing. Also the motor does not center in the housing cover, off by 1/4 inch. This is adjustable but it means removing housing cover to adjust the cover mount bracket. Overall it is quiet because it turns slower than older models thus one does not hear air noise.
Non adjustable light position is a problem for me but number one problem is it just does,nt move enough air to warrant spending money on a fan. This is a shame because i planned to buy 10 more of this model four without lights and six with lights. Sending it back to Amazon.
