  • I love these fans and they are major childhood fans to me since I remember my old school having this in the store
  • The correct pullchain will depending on how many capacitor values it has. If there's only one capacitor value with speed coils to operate medium and low, then its correct replacement chain is Zing Ear 268S1 (L-1, L-2, L-3). The wiring diagram follows: Power wire (Black): position L High speed wire from reverse switch: position 1 Medium speed wire from speed coil: position 2 Low speed wire from speed coil: position 3. If there's two capacitor values, then its correct replacement chain is Zing Ear 268S2 (L-1-2-3, L-2-3, L-1-3) The wiring diagram follows: Reverse switch wire: position L Lower value wire from dual capacitor: position 1 Higher value wire from dual capacitor: position 2 Power wire (Black): position 3 If there's three capacitor values, then its correct replacement chain is Zing Ear 268S2 (L-1, L-2-3, L-3) The wiring diagram follows: Power wire (Black): position L High speed wire from common capacitor wire (which is also tied into the reverse switch): position 1 Higher value wire from speed capacitor: position 2 Lower value wire from speed capacitor: position 3 There's some exceptions of pullchain used on triple-capacitor fans. Santa and some KTE pullchains may have an equivalent triple-capacitor pullchain function, but in a different position (2-L, 2-1-3, 2-3), and its wiring diagram follows: High speed wire from common capacitor wire (which is also tied into the reverse switch): position L (has to be moved into position 1 when using a replacement Zing Ear 268S6 chain) Higher value wire from speed capacitor: position 1 (has to be moved into position 2 when using a replacement Zing Ear 268S6 chain) Power wire (Black): position 2 (has to be moved into position L when using a replacement Zing Ear 268S6 chain) Lower value wire from speed capacitor: position 3 (remains in its same position when using a replacement Zing Ear 268S6 chain) There's also another variation of a triple-capacitor pullchain that does the low, medium, high sequence like the Well Tec 108 and Zing Ear 268S6 in its gray case (3-L, 3-L-1, 3-2): Lower value wire from speed capacitor: position L Higher value wire from speed capacitor: position 1 High speed wire from common capacitor wire (which is also tied into the reverse switch): position 2 Power wire (Black): position 3
