There are many scenarios for wiring a ceiling fan and light combo.This wiring scheme is used specifically when the source power originates at the switch. In other words, there in only one switch. In this case, the black wire is interrupted by the switch and your white neutral wire comes directly from the source. The black wire is your hot wire. The white is your neutral wire and the green is your ground.
Instructions
1. Turn off the power to the room you are working in at the circuit breaker. Turn off the switch on the wall to turn off power to the light and fan as well.
2. Connect the white wire of the fan/light directly to the white wire from the source. Strip the wire 1 inch with a wire stripper. Twist wires together with snub nose pliers in a clockwise direction until snug. Use wire nuts to finish the connection, twisting them on in a clockwise manner.
3. Repeat Step 2 with the green wire, connecting green to green.
4. Wire the black wire from the top terminal of the switch to the fan/light's black and blue wires. Strip all wires 1 inch with wire strippers and twist the wires together with a snub nose pliers in a clockwise direction. Use wire nuts to finish the connection, twisting them on in a clockwise direction.
