I'm replaceing two old ceiling fans in my kitchen with new. I bought one and put it up so I could try it before committing to the 2nd. So I have it wired and installed per instructions, but it does not turn on. I hope this is because the 2nd fan is not installed. I would think it's because both fans are on the same circuit?
See the photo. There are two wall switches, one at either end of the kitchen. Either can turn the fan off and on. The if the switches on the fan are on, the wall switch will turn on or off the fan and/or light. The wall switches are set up so that if the fans are running and/or the lights are on, flipping the other wall switch will turn the fan/light off. Hope this makes sense. See photo.
