TOPIC: Fan on dimmer switch

On a ceiling fan that has lights on a dimmer switch, shouldn't the fan be wired in such a way that the dimmer does not control the fan?  That is what I wrote in the report but have not sent it off yet. 

I have never seen one that had one that controlled the fan Bert, so that would make me wonder as well. I don't know that is necessarily prohibited, but I have never seen it done that way.

Definitely improper wiring and against manufacturer installation instructions. Putting the fan itself on a dimmer would burn out the motor. I don't think it's against code though, but I could be wrong.

Thanks.  My reasoning was that the fan is designed to run at a certain speed (or in some cases, at one of three speeds.)  A dimmer switch would cause the fan motor to run at a speed lower than what it was designed for.  I tried to look it up but I find conflicting reports.  A practical point is, how do you enjoy dim light but full fan?
If there are dimmer switch/fan combinations available, maybe I overstated it in my report.  I guess worse case is, I may have erred on the side of caution.  When in error, that's the side I want to be on.

There are switch/dimmer combinations that you can purchase where the dimmer only controls the light and the switch controls the fan. You just need to run an extra pair of wires.

Fans should never be on dimmer switches Bert.  They have built-in speed controls.

But what do I know?  I not licensed electricity.
