I don't understand.  If the auto switch is working, what possible use is a
manual switch other than to make extra noise and wear out the fan?  And if
the auto switch is not working, why not just fix it and have a reliable
system that doesn't depend on the operator turning things on and off?


This is a serious question.  I'm not poking fun, but I'm truly puzzled.
