When to use it: If your ceiling fan no longer changes speeds, runs unevenly, or hums without spinning, replacing the capacitor usually fixes the issue. It’s a simple and low-cost repair that restores proper fan operation in minutes.
Compatibility Notes
- Works with many ceiling fan brands including Hunter, Hampton Bay, Harbor Breeze, Casablanca, Westinghouse, Kichler, and others.
- Your existing capacitor must have 5 wires.
- Ensure the voltage rating of this capacitor matches or exceeds your original.
- For use in AC (alternating current) ceiling fan systems only — not suitable for DC motors.
- Wire colors may differ by manufacturer; connect according to your fan’s wiring diagram.
FAQs
1. How can I tell if my ceiling fan capacitor is bad?
If your fan hums, runs slowly, or doesn’t change speeds, the capacitor may be weak or burnt out. Replacing it usually restores normal speed control and performance.
2. Can I use a capacitor with a higher voltage rating?
Yes. Using a capacitor with the same or higher voltage rating is safe. Avoid using one with a lower voltage rating.
3. Do the wire colors need to match my old capacitor?
No. The wire colors may be different. Follow your ceiling fan’s wiring diagram to connect each wire correctly.
4. Does this capacitor work with both 50Hz and 60Hz systems?
Yes, this CBB61 capacitor supports both 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies.
5. Is installation easy?
Yes. Turn off the power, disconnect the old capacitor, and connect the new one using the same wire configuration. No special tools are required. Always ensure the power is off before installation.
