I don't think it's possible to get everything you want because of the 3-way requirement. There is no true 3-way dimmer setup with double throw switches. The ones promoted as such use electronics to detect the change of state in the satellite switch and mimic 3-way operation. Such a setup may or may not work with your current wiring, you would need to refer ...

Well, ten months have passed and I see no problems with the fan disconnected. Which is no wonder - I've seen many fridges with the same design that had no fan and they worked fine and this fridge also works fine without a fan. The new fan costs like one tenth the price of a new fridge, so just having the fan disconnected is a no-brainer.
To anyone who reads ...

You need to identify the line, the load, and each of the switched wires. When everything is disconnected and the power is turned on, the line is the wire that will be hot. Use a non-contact tester to locate this, and follow the appropriate safety precautions to avoid electrocuting yourself (if you don't know these, it may be time to hire an electrician). The ...

Did the old fan also have a light, or was it just the fan? Where are the wires from the light and the nightlight, are they in the same box? So you are saying that both conduits pictured run directly to the box on the wall where the switch is, i.e. there were 7 wires in two bundles running from the box to fan?
The three wires you see on the new fan are ...

This could be an option, as long as a few conditions are met.
There should be a damper
A damper will prevent outside air from entering the exhaust pipe, traveling down the length and entering the conditioned space. Most exhaust vent covers are designed in such a way, so that even on windy days the exhaust can still be exhausted. If you just have a pipe ...

Get an air-conditioning system. I got it because my room has no output air channel so adding an extra output air-channel through the air-conditioning system fixed the problem of smoky windows. It filters the air and it is pretty easy to install: it takes air 1 block inside and 1 block moving outside so the pipe just to the window for the output channel.

I have not seen conclusive data about carbon stopping pollen.Carbon is very good at catching odour within in air and excellent at absorbing chemicals in water (ie chlorine)
I would strongly suggest you use a 5 micron sponge pre filter. This will stop bigger bits of pollen and other larger particles.
Then after the pre filter use a HEPA filter. You can find ...

You'd be better off with a box fan as it has a large, square area that will support your filter media properly. It will need to be powerful enough to develop airflow despite the next addition.
Not sure if you can find it, but we have here available electrostatic filter media by the roll. Cut several pieces large enough to cover the inlet side of the box ...

I would first try touching the R and G together at the thermostat board (the wires coming out of the wall) and seeing if the fan turns on. If it does, then all the wiring is correct. If it doesn't, then I would try to do the same thing with two short wires that have been attached to the thermostat control board R and G terminals. If it still doesn't, then ...
