I have a fan that I want to plug into a thermostatically controlled power outlet so that the fan comes on when the temperature reading reaches a certain set point.
The fan is currently wired through an on/off switch which also included a switch for a motor that operated the oscillation of the fan. I'm not using the oscillation motor/function.
Originally I was thinking I could just cut the three wires going to the motor and the same three wires going to the switch circuit board, match colors and solder them together. But there are a couple of capacitors on the board. Now I'm not so sure that would work. What is the correct way to bypass the fan switch for direct power on?
Here are photos of the front and back of the switch board.
The button on the left operates the fan.
