5-Wire 5uF 5uF 5uF Ceiling Fan Capacitor Specifications
- Condition: New
- Part Number: CBB61
- Capacitance: 5uF + 5uF + 5uF (microfarads)
- Voltage Rating: 250VAC, 50/60Hz
- Capacitance Tolerance: ±5%
- Total Wires: 5 (for 3-speed ceiling fan motor operation)
When to use it: If your ceiling fan has trouble changing speeds, runs slowly, or stops turning altogether, a faulty capacitor may be the cause. Replacing it can quickly restore full power and smooth motor performance.
Compatibility Notes
- Works with many ceiling fan brands including Hunter (including Crestfield 52″ model 54208), Hampton Bay, Harbor Breeze, Casablanca, Westinghouse, Kichler, and more.
- Your old capacitor should have 5 wires for multi-speed fan operation.
- Ensure the replacement capacitor has the same or higher voltage rating as the original.
- For use with AC (alternating current) fans only — not suitable for DC motors.
- Wire colors may differ by brand; always follow your fan’s wiring diagram for correct connections.
FAQs
If your fan no longer changes speeds, hums, or fails to start, the capacitor is likely worn out. Replacing it usually restores normal function immediately.
Yes, it’s fine to use a capacitor with an equal or higher voltage rating. Avoid using one rated lower than your original.
No. Wire colors can vary between manufacturers. Use the fan’s wiring diagram to identify each connection correctly.
Yes, this CBB61 capacitor is compatible with both 50Hz and 60Hz power systems used in North America and other regions.
Installation is straightforward. Disconnect power, remove the old capacitor, and connect the new one using the same 5-wire layout. No special tools are required. Always turn off power before installation.
