Changing a Ceiling Fan Switch?

I have a ceiling fan with light in it and the switch has the light and 3 level power swich for the fan but i think it needs replacement because the light switch is playing up.



I went to the local hardware/electrical shop and the only one available has a dimmer style instead of the old Low-Med-Hi switch for the fan.



Will it be ok to replace it with this? the only thing I noticed is that the new one says the max VA is 260.



Thanks in advance

Is the switch in the fan like most? If so you can find a new one at places like radio shack or on line at places like msc.com or mcmaster carr. Look for a direct replacement and make it easier on yourself. Some local dept. stores like walmart carry replacements.

It would work, but would probably cut the life of your fan. (They need to start on high to extend the life.)

1 of the other answers mentioned Radio Shack; take the old switch with you. (Also wright down the make, model number, ans serial number of the fan. )
Sounds okay...the fan now likely has 120 VAC
no.



the switch will either have electronics on it, or it has several contacts, so nless you have like for like, the answer is still no
Sounds like you need a multi-pole switch like this
