Contact the fan's manufacturer and see if they have a wiring diagram. It might help if you mentioned which fan you have.

Ceiling Fan REPAIR
My ceiling fan has a large light fixture which somehow became unscrewed from the hollow stud that hangs from the motor housing. This caused the weight of the fan to be entirely on the wires that connect the switch(es) to the motor.
Long story short, the wires that connect directly to the stator coils are severed. I need to resolder them to the coils, but I don't know which wire goes to which stator coil lead. There are two leads on each of the two coils. There is an outer coil and an inner coil and each of these has an outer and inner wire with respect to the center of the stator.
Can anyone help? There are 4 wires: Orange, Red, Yellow, and Purple. Is there a conventional color scheme that will help me match these up to the appropriate coil leads: Outer coil-outer lead, outer coil-inner lead, inner coil-outer lead, inner coil- inner lead.
Shown here is a picture of my stator and wires, as well as a picture of a similar fan motor I found on the internet with similar wires connected.

Why not just take the motor from the new fan and send back the old one? NOT!
I don't think suggesting something as unethical as this is in the spirit of this forum. This drives the costs of products up for all of us.
I just suggested he use another fan as a wiring example since the manufacturer couldn't be bothered with sending a customer a wiring diagram so he could fix it.Why not just take the motor from the new fan and send back the old one? NOT!

You're the one who suggested bad behavior.
When I'm in need of a moral compass, I'll let you know.
