Wiring a ceiling fan with optional lights, and seperate switches in two gang box.

1. Mount a two gang device box on the stud, at about 48" above the floor, to the top of the box

2. Secure a ceiling fan rated box to the joist,rafters, or trusses. ( add framing as needed to secure box directly to lumber

3 Pull 14-2 wire from a 15 amp circuit, to the two gang box you have just finished putting on the wall

4. Pull a 14-3 wire from the two gang box to the ceiling fan box you have added

5. Expose all of the inner conductors from a 1/4" of the boxes integeral clamp, to expose six inches of free conductor in each location

6. Strip the ends of all conductors, to expose 1/2" bare copper on all wires

7. At ceiling fan box, attach Black to black, white to white, red to blue, and bare to green

8. At the two gang box you will tie all of the white wires together under one wire nut (tan)

9. You will need to make two six inch pieces of black wire, strip both ends. then tie one end of each piece together with the black wire that comes out of the 14-2 (power in)

10. Tie all of the bare conductors together with two 6" tails (intended to land one on each switch, under the green screw)

11. Land the black wire from the 14-3 ( from ceiling) to a brass screw on one of the switches. Then land one of the powered pig tails on the remaining brass screw of the switch

12. The remaining red wire will land on one of the brass screws, and the remaining black (power pig tail) will land on the last brass screw.

13. install all switches , and the fan on the ceiling

14. Attach the 14-2 intended to power up your project to a powered outlet on a 15 amp circuit, matching colors as well

I made this drawing using basic paint. The art is crude but the concept is the same.
1.) Turn dryer around and look for access.
2.) Remove any number of 5/16" bolts/ screws that hold the cover in place.
3.) Some dryers require that you bend the plate up to reveal the connection, others simply remove.
4.) There will be a steel strap that connects the neutral(white) wire to the case. Remove this strap.
(They are one in the same back at the panel, before grounds were placed at all box locations; this was how they insured breaker trip when the cabinet became energized)
5.) Place the green wire at the green screw, or where the strap attached to the frame.
6.) Place the white wire on the center lug
7.) The last two wires attach, individually, on the outer lugs.
