Naperville Home - Pre-wired for ceiling fan but how to connect wires

8 years ago

The wiring I see coming down from Ceiling is 4 wires all in white covering, and white covering colored purple for one wire and yellow for other wire, then remaining two separate wires are already joined and twisted together on edges. I'm trying to connect Hunter contempo 54 inch fan with remote and led lights(bought from Costco). I've tested used non-contact tester to understand both colored wires carry current but not white joined wires. So far I attempted two options -> I connect fan wiring as (receiver black to purple(ceiling), green(fan) to yellow(Ceiling) & Bracket, white to white(joined), option 2: black to yellow(Ceiling), green(fan) to purple(Ceiling), while remaining wiring intact. Receiver to fan wiring as instructed in the manual (blue to blue(fan), yellow to black(fan)). Unfortunately none of this trial succeeded so far and resulted in circuit breaker tripping both times. I'm do it your self kind of person but getting frustrated that just 4 wires not getting into line:). Any help is welcome and appreciated.
