Yes all three white wires together. They should have been together connected to the fan when you removed it. As you know the way it was set up will work, but the pancake box is meant for a single light fixture.

Thanks. I believe that is how the old fan was connected. I do wish I'd photographed it when I took it down. I'll turn off the breakers, connect these three, and see what happens. Or just wait for the electrician. I'm not in a hurry to use the new fan this time of year - it's a summertime thing.
