Arrived at the residence and was shown to the top back bedroom with a ceiling fan the resident had installed and wasn’t working. I found waygos were used for all connections but the bigger issue was that the variable speed fan where’s were all under one waygo, when according to the wiring diagram it should have come with female and male connection ends to be able to plug and play. The fan did not come with that and even when I corrected the wiring, the receiver was shorted. There is also a variable speed fan controller on the wall that turns it on and off so I recommended it be replaced with a regular white decora single pole switch to mitigate any future issues. I wrote an estimate for the switch and fan installation once they get a new one from amazon.
