Zing Ear ZE-268S6 Ceiling Fan Light Switch Wiring Instructions
Notes:
- Before rewiring any ceiling fan. Turn off electrical current at source by turning off circuit breakers
- Failure to disconnect power to the ceiling fan may cause electrical shock, fire hazard, serious injury, or death
- Do not cut wires, multi-strand wires are solid and soldered together so they can be attached to the switch
Steps:
- Write down the color of each wire and the portal number to which they are attached on the switch.
- Remove wires from existing fan switch. If wires are hard to remove, insert a paper clip or a large sewing needle into each hole (numbered 1, 2, 3, L) and pull the wire out (repeat this step for each wire)
- Make sure that the wire lead length is the same length as the line beside word “STRIP”
- Insert wires into the new switch as in the previous switch (see step 1).
Wires should be inserted into the slots on side of the switch not the holes on surface.
- Ceiling Fan Switch 3 speed control: High, Medium, Low

Switch Wiring Based on Capacitor Connection (Your Capacitor configuration May Vary)
The capacitor may have 4-5 wires with 2 or 3 μF readings such as CBB61, or 3 wires (different in color). The capacitor usually has 2 wires on one end: 2 blacks, 2 grays, or 2 yellows. One of these wires is connected to terminal “1” on the switch
- L= Black
- 2= Larger/higher reading from the capacitor
- 1= Common from the capacitor
- 3= Smaller/lower reading from the capacitor
Zing Ear ZE-268S6 (3-speed fan switch) can be used to replace ZE-268S5 and ZE-208S5-1T (4-speed fan switch); however, the ceiling fan will no longer support 4 speeds as ZE-268S6 supports 3 speeds only.
Note: On ZE-268S5 or ZE-208S5-1T, begin from terminal number “L” and go around counterclockwise

I was a bit dubious about fixing my fan myself when this part broke but not only did I do it but it was quite easy to do. The part worked perfectly and instructions made it easy to do.

Importante revisar si el tipo de interruptor es el adecuado para el abanico de techo ya que existen diferentes tipos de funcionamiento y conexiónes eléctricas

This is the same part for all our Hunter ceiling fans and easy to replace the old ones. There is a way to take the old one apart and reset the pull chain, but for me, the low price it was much faster to snip off the old one and plug in the new. BE SAFE, TURN OFF THE POWER FIRST! There are easy videos on the net that shows how to replace.

The quality on this is amazing we used this same one before on another fan. Performance is great with other fan it is still going strong. The fit is perfact for the compact space in a cilling fan. The speed helps keep the house cool. Color well is black and green and hides in comparnment of the cilling box. The connectivity stays in place unless you somehow snap the wires just push in the rightplace .

So easy to install, saved me money from hiring someone to fix my fan. It has held up for the past couple of weeks. It even works better than the oem part as it pulls seamlessly ans without much effort. I am extremely satisfied and don't see that changing unless isn't dies unexpectedly. Highly recommend.

Liked not having to splice wires as the push in connections worked well.

The switch could even be better if it had a metal body with a mounting neck piece.

Easy to install. Just make sure you make note of the placement of the wires in the original switch, prior to installing the new one. With some fan switches, you may have to tug a bit to get it to engage. But with this one, it's smooth as silk.

Broke my pull switch on my Hunter fan. Bought a cheaper replacement part locally but once installed the pull function did not work, so fan stuck on a single speed. Decided to order this 3 speed switch as having the run on high speed only wasn’t working well. This part was perfect. Easy installation, a direct placement for the original part. Once installed fan works on all three speeds with the pull cord. Recommended purchase.
