How do go from a single light/fan bathroom switch to a double paddle with no ground or hot wire?
Home Improvement Asked by SnowboardBruin on July 17, 2021
The old switch had just 2 side wires, one for the fan and one for the light. There was no ground of hot.
I’m installing a legrand radiant 2 in 1 paddle switch, and it’s not working. I’m assuming that’s because there’s no ground of hot.

You need to add a three wire out to fan. Then the black screw gets line in from the panel,the other wire is load out to ,fan light. And only works both together. 3 wire lets them be separate . White is neutral, on the other screws, black to light red to fan. Need 3 wire to do this. Or leave in a single switch and both run like they did before.
