Without knowing what was connected to what before you took it apart it's hard to say for sure but I would guess that the whites should be connected together on one side of the fan...... However it may also not be needed and you could cap it off. I would first cap it off and if everything works correctly then leave it that way.

So Black to Black- White to White. Is there a 3rd wire in the ceiling were the old fan was?
Okay.
yup and its the ground......and believe it or not there's a fourth wire..and i don't know what to do with it...:D
Would that wire be red by any chance?
nope still white, just like the 13 previous descriptions......
>:D

This ole Poker Hut.
New Yankee SUKOUT.......
the old fan is gone, you can see the light socket....
there is a black wire, i assume is the hot or whatever....
there are 3 whites ones, but one has black x's and should be the ground...but you can't tell.....
Dead Wire? Was it hooked up to the old Fan also? Send some pics
Ground should be fastened to the box. That 3rd white one could be a continuation to somewhere else too.
here from other side you can see the socket.....and also a plug to the right of it.....like a 2 prong plug to plug the fan into....
1 white 1 black go to the plug in
1 white goes to the light
the ground looks like it goes to the light or inbetween the two.....thats all the info you get....
two switches one control A DIFFERENT BATHROOM LIGHT the other turn both the fan and the fan light on......
The ez answer is you treat it like a 9v battery. Just lick it to make sure there's juice.
That would make your hair and toes curl lol
ehmm.....ugh...
wtf is the 3rd wire lol......
than you will connect the fan the same way.
Just not sure where the second white is coming from
CALL AN ELECTRICIAN!!

no im pretty sure its electrical because it plugs into the outlet in that picture and the outlet has a hot and a neutral running to it......
just wondering what i do with the wire that runs to the light
POTD????? HAHA I actually spit out my water while reading this. Nothing helpful to add though, sorry.
