New 5 Wire Ceiling Fan Capacitor Replacement for New Tech CBB61, 250VAC 50/60 Hz, 4.5uf+6uf+5uf, 2Pcs

Medium and High speeds were fine, but on low speed the fan stopped. This is in a Hampton Bay fan that came with the house which worked until recently. My guess is the fan is 8 or 9 years old. As a fan it was pretty good, quiet and no wobble. No reason to replace the fan from that perspective. Anyway, I purchased a new switch and installed it, same behaviour, no low, works on medium and high. After a little more research, I found that the capacitor actually controls the speed based on switch input and decided to replace the capacitor. This one is almost identical to the one that was already installed. The wire color codes even matched. Simple to install with very basic electrical tools and skills. The fan is all buttoned up and back to working normally. All in all a bit of a learning experiance for me and much simpler and less expensive than replacing the whole fan.

Fan started running real slow and on some speeds wouldn't move at all. Was happy to find that this was an exact replacement for what was in my fan! Same capacitances, voltages, wire colors, etc. Tip: to get the wires out of the pull-chain switch, jam a large paperclip in with the wire, then you can gently pull the wire out. It's basically just a big spring clip inside. That way you don't have to cut & strip more wires. Very easy to swap out, biggest pain was just removing the light section and having to work overhead. For as cheap as they are I bought two, that way I would have a spare in case one of my other fans decided to do the same thing.

The problem with a ceiling fan not working is sometime that model is no longer made. Since this fan is a matched set in my 800 Sq Ft Sunroom my wife uses as a studio, I was reluctant to have to replace both fans. A little research indicated that a ceiling fan not operating at full speed and "humming" indicates a bad capacitor. Instead of testing the capacitor, I identified it and order its replacement (this part). Replacement was straight forward, simply remove the light kit to access the switch box below the fan. This part was identical to the one in the fan right down to the wire colors. Cut the wires (make sure the power is off 1st), and reconnect to the capacitor using wire nuts or crimp connectors. VERIFY the wires are matched up, and replace the cover/light kit. To make change out easier, make sure you have some double stick foam tape to hold the new capacitor in place. Also a second set of hands to hold the light kit in place while installing the screws was a must. My wife used a cane with a rubber tip to hold it in place without having to be on a ladder with me. Fan worked great, just like new! Since there are two fans about the same age, I bought a 2 pack and am now ready when the other capacitor fails!

This replacement seems to have worked well on my ceiling fan.

Works as indicated. My fan spins like new on all 3 speeds. Easy to install with just a laymen's knowledge of electricity. Just make sure you shut the breaker of as well as the fan switch.

Awesome product , easy to install, and save me from buying another ceiling fan . This capacitor did the job very well, my ceiling fan finally works on the high speed setting.

Worked fine as a replacement part to fix my ceiling fan.

Just hooked it up and everything is working again
