I am installing a fan w/light kit. The fan has a blue wire (for light kit) a white wire and a black wire. The wire coming out of my ceiling box is white, black and red. Do I hook up the white wire to white, black to black and blue to red? I also have a ground which I assume goes to the ground from the fan?
Please advise.
Thank You,
Rich
The standard is what you have quoted as far as colors (white to white, black to black, red to blue). Just make sure, if you have a volt meter check the black for continuous hot (directly from breaker) and the red for a switched hot (by switching your switch on and off while you have the meter connected). remember, First just make sure you turn off your breaker. good luck
