When i opened the timer box i was overwhelmed by the 5 differently colored wires but ur video made sense of it all and the installation was a piece of cake. Thanks.
Thanks for the video...I had a big clod of white wires tied together with a wire nut in the back of my box. I wasn't sure what to do with them, so I was going to send this timer switch back to the retailer. Your video gave me the confidence to press on...used your wiring and it worked perfectly!
Scott Hancock ditto for me!
Thank you for this video! It's the only one I found that explains wiring in a way that I can understand without knowing any extra technical terminology. Successful installation 😊
Thanks for the video!. Scored some major points with the wife for getting the job done right.
When I saw the multitude of wires in the box, I was a little overwhelmed, but this video, and your explanations provided in the video, made it simple to understand, and I was able to tackle it myself. Thank you!!!
You said lots, I didn't understand much. Diagram?
@@rafaeljuarez3203 It wasn't my video, but if you have the same setup and follow along, it helps. If you are unfamiliar with household wiring, call an electrician to do the install.
thank you so much! i was so confused, light was working, but the fan wouldnt turn off...
you are my savior, no kidding.
Just a tip... would be helpful if the description said Single Pole installation only. And yes, the extra wire is part of a 3 way installation.
Great video! Just when you think you know everything about standard electrical switches your customer buys some crazy 5 wire blood pressure tester! Spent 1 hour trying every senerio and did in in 3 minutes after watching this video. Thank you! Perfect video
Great, Video got me through the head scratching moment when I realized the new switch had more that two wires..
Thank you for the instructions, follow them step by step and I installed one in the bathroom of my house and everything was perfect
Thanks for your great video, I lost my father last year, he was electrician, I'm not. This video help me a lot, the red wire was a mistery to me ...
Nice to be able to crap n leave now. Improves my life beyond all measures.
Thank you! That’s an easy explanation about wiring. That makes me feel comfortable doing that at home. Thanks a lot!
Perfect how-to. Exactly what i needed with no fluff. Thank you.
Thanks for the great instructional video! This is a pretty specialized combo and there aren't many videos out there to help with this situation, so thanks for making it! It was just what we needed to finish our wiring project.
I like your vidio
Thanks for the video. I just had to figure out which cluster of wires were the whites ones. The painters had sprayed all the wires white. Had to use my fingernail to scratch the paint off.
thanks good job and very easy to follow instructions
Thanks for the video. Helped me install the timer to a double light switch that also controlled the fan.
Thanks. That helped. Now, the fan doesn't run all day! :)
Awesome video. Exactly what I needed. Thanks.
Looked at my wiring yesterday, had no idea what to do. Found your video today and now I have it installed. Thank you so much!!
This helped. Thank you
Great video. I'll be using this tonight. Thanks.
only thing I would have done, is tested it before I put it all back together, but a really great vid, I had a problem with a dimmer switch, so many wires LOL, worked it out though. NIce
Thanks you were a great help.
On my instructions and diagram it shows the black from the fan going to the timer. No wonder it didn't work. Works good now though thanks.
Your video was very helpful !!! Perfect!! Just what I needed ... Thank you so much 🙏
Hi Mr Domesticated! Nice video on this timer switch, bought one just like it and was very happy to see your video on here!! Thanks for sharing with us!! :))
Thanks I was getting discouraged before this video
Thanks for the video. This was the exact same setup and switch tutorial i was looking for. it helped a lot.!
The colours of the wires in my home are slightly different from the instructions in the packaging of the timer so I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong. I spent 3 hours trying lots of different combo's (probably not very safe). I also found a bunch of white wires way in the back of the box (similar to another comment) which I had to connect as well. This video really helped. Thanks.
Thank you. Very clear and understandable.
Thank you sir just changed mines and thanks to you it was perfect 👌
Thanks! Nice New Year’s Day project for moi!
Thanks for the clear video for getting this installed!
thank you for posting this video. helped me immensely!
Excellent walkthrough Video! thanks Sir
Thanks! just got it done from your tutorial.
nice catch @ 8:31
Great video and explanation! Youz gotz skillz! Thanks
Great video!
You the man! I just got mine working with your help.
I've wired my switch and timer the same way I think but my timer only works when I turn the light off. Any ideas?
Thank you!
Thanks Man, you rule!
yea a monster deuce dude!
Thanks. Great Video
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for your video
GetDomesticated, I went to put a timer on my fan switch. Pull the old fan switch out and there's two wires on it. The new timer switch has four. I stood there with my thumb up my ass trying to figure out what to do. The instructions on the new timer switch are as worthless as moose tits. Your video was spot on! A thousand thank yous for making it clear and concise!
What if there’s no white wire
Is this good to auto off for a room Air Condition unit?
helpful video thanks
The fan is running slow after timer installation.?
You may have it hooked up in series with your light.
Great video. Just went to replace my fan switch with a Leviton timer.
But my switch only has a black, and white, and ground wire.
Would this be because the feed goes to the fan first then loops out to the switch?
Same goes for the switch beside it in the box that controls the vanity lights.
How can I wire the timer in this situation?
Yes, I was hoping this would be mentioned in today's video which deals with power entering the switch first. This gives us a live black wire to hook up to the black lead on the switch. You have a power before the fan outlet box circuit. Perhaps someone else will comment but think you will have to run a length of Romex from another source to get a live lead to your switch box.
Thumbs up for monster dueces👍👃
Hi great video but from the Amazon reviews it seems this model has a some kind of design flaw where they start to buzz loudly after a time...did you experience that with yours?
Awesome
Has your Leviton timer started buzzing yet?
Yes that seems to be a common issue. Leviton may have made a bad batch? I had to return mine. But later saw that Leviton will replace the buzzing timer with a new one if you contact them.
J T I've bought two from Home Depot and Canadian Tire a few years ago. Haven't had that problem but heard same thing they will replace for free, no shipping cost eithet. Wish I saw this video a few years ago. Had to watch a dark potatoe recorded TH-cam video with a different timer switch, and then decipher myself... lol
yes, mine buzzes like crazy, any idea what causes it ?
electronupdate has an outstanding youtube video that shows what causes the buzzing
mine were painted all white and I can't tell which one's black and which one is neutal
Hi,
After removing old switch, I only see 2 wires + ground copper wire. I got the same leviton fan timer switch. I don't see that extra neutral wire. Is that a requirement to having this switch working?
Yes this switch needs a neutral wire. Check the other comments to see another conversation about this same problem. A regular switch doesn't need a neutral, so sometimes to save a little wire electricians will leave out the neutral.
FAST HELP!!!
My switch only has 2 black wires and a green wire. (NO LABEL) which black goes to land, and which goes to hot? (Instructions don't say either)
First you need to find out which is hot wire and which is the switch wire. You can do this by using a non-contact volt tester like the one he used or a multimeter. Pull the switch out of the box, use the non-contact volt tester and touch each black lead. Obviously both leads will be hot if the switch is on. Turn the switch off and try it again, only one should get a prompt from your tester, mark this lead because this is your hot wire. Look inside your box, there should be group of white wires in there all tied together, they are your neutral wires, most newer homes should have this, and it is required for switches that requires constant power to them like this, bluetooth switches, wifi switches, humidity sensor switches, etc... If you don't have them, you're going to have to hire someone to run it to that box or your entire house. If you do have it, you're going to have to use a pigtail to connect to the neutral on your switch to the wall. A pigtail is a short piece of 12 or 14 gage wire. To wrap things up, the black hot lead goes to the black wire, the other black wire goes to the red wire, white wire goes with white, and green goes with green.
Dont you Guys have Wago connectors in the us ?
What if you don't have a neutral wire
Normal switches don't need a neutral to function. Some electricians will save money by not running a neutral to the switch. This timer needs a neutral to function, and unless you can run another wire from a nearby switch or outlet then you are pretty much screwed.
GetDomesticated Where I live, California, I can not recall ever seeing a neutral wire in a switch box.
I guess I could connect the neutral to the ground. The neutral and ground are connected together in the circuit breaker panel.
This is true, but I can't say if it's a good idea or not. All the boxes upstairs in my house have nuetrals. But i the basement doesn't. I'd like to put timers down there too.
So if you try this idea and it doesn't burn your house down let me know.
GetDomesticated Using some critical thinking skills here.... If the Green/GND and the white/neutral are connected together in the circuit breaker box they both have the same potential and are therefore electrically the same.
The only reason we have a ground wire is so the current has another path other than you to get to ground.
While not to code, I can't see how doing this would put someone's life in danger or cause a fire. The ground is meant to carry a current should the neutral become disconnected or broken.
Let me know when you give it a try if you get a shock or your house burns down.
I'm going to do it and I'm sure it's will work fine. The only reason the neutral is needed is the provide power for LED and timer circuit. The amount of current would be far less than one amp.
I have the same problem. Did it work wiring it up green to white?
it worked until i tried to put everything back into place now none of the lights, plugs etc are working in the washroom, i know it's not the breaker because the light just outside on the same circuit is on anyone know what to do? everything is plugged in and connected with wire nuts
My guess is that one of the wires is loose inside the wire nut. Turn off the breaker and check your connections.
There’s no white wire
Pretty sure the only reason he made this video was because he wanted to say “Monster Deuce”.
That would be reason enough for me to watch it.
monster deuce lol
He knows what he's doing. I don't. So hard to watch with the lights off. changing views of filming. His hands cause shadows. I'm not up to his standard~ I need a more basic video. I have way less wires in the original box. Help!
The amount of wires shouldn't really matter. Just pay attention to the color of the wires and hook them up like I do in the video.
Dont you Guys have Wago connectors in the us ?
We do but for some reason wire nuts are much more common.
