Update: I was able to reverse the motor. I had originally swapped the red and black wires I referred to earlier without results but I went back pulled them off and put them back on and it worked. It is now moving counter clockwise and the dampers are opening as they should. I'm still not sure...

I certainly will.

I'll certainly look at that as a possibility if I'm unable to reverse the motor. Unfortunately when they mounted it they put it over the stair well which makes access difficult. We just bought this house a few months ago and naturally it worked fine then. Finding replacement parts are difficult...

This is a ceiling mounted belt driven unit. I'm not sure they can be turned over without ripping everything out of the ceiling. The motor is reversible just need to figure out how.

There was a slightly different wiring configuration but it was wired correctly. Current status. Was able to get it running but new motor needs reversing. There is nothing in the instructions on how to reverse directions. Inside the casing there is a red wire and black wire which slip onto posts...

Brand new motor installed since the power stopped working. No reset switch but appreciate the suggestion.

Sounds like a project to continue tomorrow. Thanks for your help. Will update tomorrow!

Ok Did that connected the black wire where the red from the timer was previously. There was a loud pop at the breaker and the breaker tripped.

Ok here's what I've found. Breaker has power. The timer and switch are separate. The switch has 5 poles. There is a black wire connected to the timer which is showing hot. There is also a white wire which is connected to the switch leading from the same bundle with the black hot wire. There is a...

I am going to get a voltage meter and give it a try and at least try to identify the problem before calling anyone in. I replaced the motor with a new one so I think that the problem must lie somewhere in the electrical system.

This is a ceiling mounted fan that operates off a two speed switch with an additional timer no thermostat. I did use an identical switch and replaced the wiring identically to the old connections. I have not tested for voltage and do not have a voltage tester. I'm afraid my electrical know how...

My whole house attic fan suddenly stopped working. I went to turn it on and nothing. Checked the breaker and it was not tripped. Went into the attic, which is more of a crawl space and very difficult to maneuver, checked the motor and not even a hum. I replaced the switch with no success and...
