Questions & Answers
I was four years old. 5/6/5uf. The fan speeds were low, medium, and high when the system was installed.
The wires must be in sync. voltage. It's up to the electrician to decide whether or not this one will work. It'll be found if you keep looking. I did. It's well worth the money to keep. Many electronic options can be found on eBay. Good luck

I've regained my high speed and can now enjoy good air movement at high speeds. Mid and low speeds were fine, but high speed had gotten to the point where it would start spinning quickly but then slow down to a medium or slower speed. br>It's an outdoor fan on our back porch, and the higher speeds make a significant difference in cooling on hot days. br>The original capacitor didn't appear to be damaged in the way that others have claimed, but the change made a significant difference on the high setting. br>It's preferable to buying a new fan.
I gave this product two stars because it was simple to set up. A healthy fear of electricity is required, as is a soldering iron or crimping tool, as well as the patience to watch YouTube videos. br>I was afraid I'd have to replace the entire fan or pay an electrician a lot of money to figure out what was wrong. This restored it to its former glory. br>Fan moved at an unusually slow pace, slower than low. Electrically tested as if shorted out, but never turned off entirely. It wouldn't start or stop at other speeds. Simply creep at a very slow pace. And don't get me started on the odor. It had a strong odor of danger, death, or both. br>I had a harbor breeze (Lowes brand) fan in my room. Splice the wires together to meet the farad specifications. Let's get started. Use a lot of shrink tubing or electrical tape to keep things together. br>br>The second fan I tried to repair in this manner failed. DOA on the capacitor. Where is the quality assurance?.
I installed five of these in our house's fans and noticed a significant difference. Our fans gradually stopped running as quickly as they once did over the years, but we didn't notice because the change was gradual. It was as if we had gained new fans after the swap was completed. br>br>The swap itself wasn't difficult; I simply swapped one wire at a time because some of the wires are the same color and I didn't want to mix them up. To remove the old wires from the connections, you'll need a small pick or a small flathead screwdriver.
I had two ten-year-old fans who were acting up. . . one only worked on low, and the other only on medium. This model of capacitor does not appear to be available in any local stores. . . . I ordered two, and it took me about 40 minutes to complete the installation of both fans. Wire strippers, wire nuts, a Phillips screwdriver, and a ladder are all you'll need for this project. Cut the fan's power, cut the old capacitor's wires, matched up the color wires with the old, and boom! At all three speeds, both fans perform admirably. Hopefully, these are high-quality capacitors that will last a long time. If they fail too soon, I'll update this review.
There was a 14' high fan in my room that was not turned on. Installing a new fan would have cost hundreds of dollars if it had been done by an electrician. I knew I couldn't safely replace the old one because it was too high. As a result, I decided to attempt to repair the Harbor Breeze, which is 23 years old. I would recommend replacing the switch while you're at it because it worked perfectly. Taking out the old capacitor caused me to break mine.
to get back on track It made my slow fan spin at the proper speeds once more. I couldn't get it back into the canopy properly (despite my best efforts). I used zip ties to secure everything and provide the extra few millimeters of slack required to keep everything in place. This would appear sloppy, but the light fixture obscures it.
It was exactly what I needed to replace my melted old capacitor and get my Hunter fan back up and running. The wire colors matched the original capacitor perfectly. I disassembled the fan speed switch and replaced those leads directly rather than cutting/splicing the wires at the switch, so it took a little longer.
My wife adores the current style of our ceiling fan, so she was disappointed when it stopped working properly. The capacitor was the next "suspect" after I replaced the fan pull switch, which did not work. I couldn't find one locally, but this one was a perfect fit for the fan and solved the problem!.
