Product Usage / Applications
This capacitor is designed to power and stabilize small electric motors used in household and commercial fans. It improves motor torque, helps fans start smoothly, and maintains proper speed levels.
- Ceiling fans and floor fans with 2-wire capacitor setups
- Portable space heaters
- Bench grinders
- Humidifiers
When to use it: If your fan hums but doesn’t start, spins slowly, or stops changing speeds, the capacitor may be weak or burnt out. Replacing it is an easy and inexpensive repair that can restore your fan’s full performance in minutes.
Compatibility Notes
- Works with many popular ceiling fan brands including Hunter, Harbor Breeze, Hampton Bay, Casablanca, Westinghouse, and others.
- Your existing capacitor must have 2 wires (1 on each side).
- The voltage rating of this replacement should match or exceed your original capacitor.
- For use in AC (alternating current) systems only — not for DC applications.
- Wire colors may vary between models but will not affect performance or installation.
FAQs
1. How can I tell if my ceiling fan capacitor is bad?
If your fan runs slowly, stops changing speed, or hums without spinning, the capacitor is likely worn out. Replacing it usually solves the problem right away.
2. Can I replace my old capacitor with one that has a higher voltage rating?
Yes, you can safely use a capacitor with the same or higher voltage rating. Never use one with a lower rating.
3. Do the wire colors need to match my original capacitor?
No, wire color does not matter. Just connect one wire on each side, following the same wiring layout as the original capacitor.
4. Does this capacitor work with both 50Hz and 60Hz systems?
Yes, this CBB61 capacitor supports both 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies, making it suitable for North America and international use.
5. Is it easy to install?
Yes. Simply turn off the power, disconnect the old capacitor, and connect the new one using the same two wires. No special tools are required. Always ensure the power is off before starting.
