Usage / Applications
This capacitor is designed to control the speed and performance of ceiling fan motors that use a 5-wire configuration. It provides stable torque and helps fans run efficiently and quietly.
- Ceiling fan motor speed control
- Multi-speed fan replacement capacitor
- Home and commercial fan repair projects
When to use it: If your ceiling fan runs slowly, struggles to start, or fails to change speeds, the capacitor may be worn or damaged. Replacing it usually restores normal operation quickly and easily.easily.
Compatibility Notes
- Compatible with many ceiling fan brands including Hunter, Hampton Bay, Harbor Breeze, Westinghouse, Kichler and others.
- Your existing capacitor should have 5 wires for multi-speed fan operation.
- Ensure the new capacitor’s voltage rating matches or exceeds your original part.
- For AC ceiling fans only — not for DC motors.
- Wire colors may vary by brand; always follow your fan’s wiring diagram during installation.
FAQs
If your fan hums, runs slower than usual, or no longer changes speeds, the capacitor may be weak or burned out. Replacing it often fixes the problem immediately.
Yes, using one with the same or higher voltage rating is safe. Do not use a capacitor with a lower voltage rating.
No, the colors may differ by brand. Match each wire according to your fan’s wiring diagram, not by color.
Yes, this CBB61 capacitor supports both 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies, making it suitable for most household electrical systems.
No, installation is simple. Turn off the power, remove the old capacitor, and connect the new one using the same wire layout. Always double-check connections and ensure power is off before working.
