Panasonic WhisperControl 3 Function Fan Switch Light Almond FV-WCSW31-A

The Panasonic WhisperControl FV-WCSW31-A combines three independently operated on/off rocker switches in a single-gang device. This Light Almond model includes a matching designer wall plate for a coordinated finish. You receive one new switch in its original retail box, with the light packaging wear shown in the actual photo.

Why I like this control

I like having separate controls for a compatible fan, main light and night-light without using three wall-box positions. This is a straightforward on/off switch, not a dimmer, timer or humidity sensor; the connected equipment and wiring must support separate control.

Compatibility and installation

The package identifies on/off control of a fan, light and night-light and compatibility with Panasonic ventilation fans. Have a qualified installer confirm the exact fan's wiring diagram, permitted loads and switch ratings before ordering. Do not assume compatibility with every fan or heater; this is not the FV-WCSW41-W four-function control.

Electrical installation presents a shock risk. Turn off power at the breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized before installation or service. Follow the instructions supplied with the actual switch and connected fan, applicable electrical codes, grounding requirements and all load limits. A single-gang form factor alone does not establish that existing wiring is suitable.

The actual package states a two-year limited manufacturer warranty. Coverage is subject to Panasonic's terms and purchase eligibility; this listing does not promise manufacturer coverage for every resale purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I dim the light or set a fan timer with it? No. The three rockers provide separate on/off switching, not dimming, timed shutoff or automatic humidity sensing.

Is this the white version, and is a wall plate included? This is FV-WCSW31-A in Light Almond, with a matching designer wall plate. The white model has a different -W suffix.
