The other switch wire is spliced to the black.
#Wiring a bathroom fan and light to one switch how to
In this video I give a step by step guide of how to fit, install and wire a bathroom. The source hot is spliced to one of the builtin switch wires and a pigtail to the hot LINE terminal on the GFCI receptacle. How to fit and install a bathroom extractor fan with or without a timer. In this diagram a GFCI combo is used to control the exhaust fan providing both a switch and GFCI outlet in one device. I cannot seem to figure out how to wire the light and the fan separately so that I can use the timer feature for the fan. It looks more complicated, but dont sweat it. Wiring for a GFCI Combo Switch and Bathroom Exhaust Fan. When I try combining wires with pigtails, sometimes I can get light to operate but either the fan is always on or the fan has no power. The timer supposedly does not need a neutral wire.Īny input on how I should wire this? When I just try to wire the timer switch to the cable on the left and the light switch to the cable on the right, I get no power to the fixture. I want to connect a single pole switch for the light on the right side (has a ground nut and two brass nuts) and an Eaton 9590AW 5-Button Preset Minute Timer for the fan (has a green ground wire, a red wire, and a black wire sticking out of the back). Here is a picture of the wires in the receptacle: Unfortunately, I didn't pay close enough attention to how it was wired before and am at a loss for how to wire this correctly. I believe the two fan switches before were tied together to you could either leave the fan on/off with one switch or set a timer for it with another. with regard to your extractor fan, you will need a 3 pole fan isolator switch, even though you have a window, the fan must be able to be isolated for maintenance or other scenarios like if it burns out. I removed the old switches because I just wanted to replace with a new rocker switch for the light and a new timer for the fan (no longer 2 switches for fan). Hi mate, Yes you can have your lights as you intend on 2 switches. There are only two 12/2 cables coming into the box (I assume one for fan, one for light). Single pole switch to control the fan (on/off).Yes, you are correct - if I flip my breaker, the whole bathroom goes out - GFCI outlet, vanity lights and, if I wire it as such, my ventilation fan/light.
