Need Kool-O-Matic fan switch

[Jack and Liz Pearce]

Howdy.


I need the fan speed control switch for the Kool-O-Matic exhaust fan in
our kitchen ceiling. Any ideas where this switch can be purchased? OR ANY 3 speed fan speed control switch?

TIA,
Jack

Try calling them. I was able to get a spare motor and switch a year ago. You might have to wait for them to call back. I see their site is still up.

Two options -- if the 3 speeds isn't that big a deal, then you can wire it through without the switch. You get high speed only.

Second option -- look for a 12 vdc 3 speed switch in an automotive-type store or online provider. The "modern" switch will likely have resisters to modify the current. The OEM switch has little coil-like things for the same purpose. (This is, I'm told, and archaic design -- but cheap and reliable.)

I recently had to replace my Kool-O-Matic fan motor and I considered modifying the installation to allow access/use of the 3 speed switch. After experimenting with the speeds, I didn't find that big a difference in noise between the fan speeds. I ended up just setting it to 'fast' and leaving it at that.

Here's one product:

When my fan motor quit last fall, I emailed ... then later, called. Never got a response. I did make it clear that I needed a motor, so perhaps they were out of them. Probably still worth a try, but don't hold your breath.
