A ceiling fan capacitor is an electrical component located in the housing unit of your ceiling fan. CBB61 capacitors control the start and stop mechanisms and fan speeds on many different types of ceiling fans motors using these types of capacitors.
It creates a rotating magnetic field that helps move and rotate the blades of the fan. It propels the blades in one direction and will adjust to speed settings.
Without it, your ceiling fan wouldn’t be able to spin continuously.Capacitors are prone to fail over time, which can be frustrating if you rely on a ceiling fan for airflow.
What reasons lead to the capacitor being demaged?
Burned-Out/melted/overheated Capacitor
Over Voltage
Overcurrent
Inter turn fault of the motor
NOTES:
Some wire strippers, wire nuts, Phillips screwdriver and a ladder will be needed when replacing the capacitor.
Using digital multimeter to check the capacitor in good condition before installing.
