Product Usage / Applications
This capacitor is commonly used in many small appliances and ceiling fans. It provides the right amount of power and stability for motors that need an extra boost during startup or while changing speeds.
- 3-speed ceiling fans and floor fans
- Bench grinders and other small motor tools
- Tape recorders (e.g., Akai X-1800S)
- Electric bread makers (e.g., Black & Decker models)
- Water or air pumps requiring AC capacitor support
When to use it: If your ceiling fan hums but won’t spin, runs slowly, or doesn’t switch speeds properly, replacing the capacitor usually fixes the issue. This replacement capacitor offers a simple, affordable, and safe repair solution.
Compatibility Notes
- Compatible with many popular ceiling fan brands, including Hunter, Harbor Breeze, Hampton Bay, Casablanca, Westinghouse et.
- The existing capacitor must have 2 wires (1 on each side).
- Ensure the voltage rating of this replacement matches or exceeds your original capacitor.
- Only suitable for AC (alternating current) systems, not DC.
- The wire colors may differ but will not affect compatibility or performance.
FAQs
1. How do I know if my fan capacitor is bad?
If your ceiling fan stops changing speeds, runs slowly, or hums without spinning, the capacitor is likely weak or burnt out. Replacing it usually restores normal operation.
2. Can I use this capacitor if my original has a higher voltage?
Yes. It’s safe to use a capacitor with an equal or higher voltage rating. Do not use one with a lower rating.
3. Do the wire colors have to match my old capacitor?
No. The wire color does not matter as long as there are two wires (one on each side). Simply connect one wire to each terminal as before.
4. Is this capacitor suitable for both 50Hz and 60Hz power systems?
Yes, this CBB61 capacitor supports both 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies, making it ideal for use in the U.S., Canada, and international applications.
5. Do I need special tools to replace it?
No special tools are required. Just disconnect power, remove the old capacitor, and connect the new one using the same two wires. Always ensure the power is off before installation for safety.
