So weird. I have high, low, low, and off. Anyone know why this might be? I can live with it. I find it odd that both are doing it. Any thoughts or suggestions are most appreciated. | ||

Almost all of the fans in our house are similar, but only have 1 speed, maybe 2. Curious to see the responses. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

That doesn’t sound right. All three of the ceiling fans we have in our house have Low/Med/High speeds. | |||

What model are they? I know Hunter has a few 2 speed offerings. Are they traditional (regular wired, pull chain selector) or remote? Is your home set up for separate light/fan controls (3 wire), or is it controlled at the fan only (2 wire)? AC or DC motor? If they are traditional AC wired 2 speed motors, with 3 wire wall controls, you might be able to use a wall control switch and control the fan speed that way, vs the setting from the pull switch. I shall respect you until you open your mouth, from that point on, you must earn it yourself. | |||

Is that what they are labeled, or is that the speed at which they rotate? | |||

We have Hunter ceiling fans in every room except the bathrooms & they all have 3 speeds. Our "newest" is at least ten years old, so not much help. ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

That would piss me off... We have numerous Hunter fans that i installed throughout the house and run them on Medium. I'd be fired up if I put 2 together and mounted them only to find out there was no medium setting... | |||

If you have the wireless remote fan/light switch and they are both on the same circuit, they may interfere with each other if their locations are too close together. -------------------------------------------- You can't have no idea how little I care. | |||

I do have two switches. One for the fan and one for the light. The house is new and I had every bedroom wired for a fan. No remote switches. Fans all have three speeds. I’m sure I’ve done something wrong because the odds of two doing the same thing and being faulty are pretty slim. I installed one in the family room and it’s fine. | |||

My hunter fan is a 2 speed. But it used to be a 3 speed. The chain broke off inside the plastic housing that controls the speeds. I replaced the speed switch but the wiring schematic was wrong for the new switch. I did it exactly how it said. But it only has 2 speeds now. PIA. I like 3 speeds better. | |||

Good enough is neither good, nor enough |
I installed 3 hunter fans in the last year and they all have 3 speeds. There are 3 kinds of people, those that understand numbers and those that don't. | |||

Put my Hunter's in over 20 years ago, they are controlled by sliding switches so I don't know how many speeds the chain pull activates. _________________________________________________ "Once abolish the God, and the Government becomes the God." --- G.K. Chesterton | |||

I leave my fans on high and have three speed fan control smart switches to operate them remotely. I use Z-Wave smart switches with some right next to each other in the same boxes and they don't interfere. They actually form a mesh network. | |||

Can't they wire in a switch to accommodate more speeds? My oldie Casablanca has a rotary switch which makes it variable. | |||
