[QUOTE="Geoff1946, post: 458482, member: 28452"] I suspect that your fan and controller will be a matched pair with a unique, probably multi wire, interface. The fan motor winding will most likely have multiple taps and there may be capacitors involved. It will be difficult to adapt it to any other means of control. Cheap solution, a bit of contact cleaner may fix the dodgy switch, or look for loose connections. Expensive solution, replace the fan. I don't know off hand what's available but I'm sure there will be such things on the market. [/QUOTE]
