I know this is an old post, here is what i've figured out in the field ..... the problem with fan cheap fan controls is that the motor needs to ramp up (slowly rev up) to get the motor started. most cheap switches allow this, (mostly because of the internal fan parts) but they will not allow it to 'ramp down'. it just shuts it off....a dedicated circuit will not do it, they still share the neutral and ground. You need a Zero Inductance switch that will ramp down the motor. This will fix your issue. Or replace your old fan with a newer one that has the remote control....its built in the unit. Give it a shot!
