Thanks for the comment! Definitely an easy repair that can save you from buying a complete replacement fan

Thank you for sharing this helpful; video and also feels good to have extera capacitors on hand. You are the master.😎 and that fan is a hampton bay farmington. I reconise it.

Just get a new ceiling fan guys. Some fans come defective. Only work well for a few months notice how you see many thrown away in front of houses. Not worth the hassle to try and fix it yourself unless you're an expert like this man.

He's very clearly demonstrating that one needs NOT be an "expert" to do such SIMPLE work. Are you a snowflake?

That's a Hampton Bay Farmington. I have a Harbor Breeze Builder's Series which would spin extremely slow at the highest speed (26 RPM), much slower than normal low. Replaced the capacitor and it work well. I didn't even have to cut any wires, I used pliers to loosen the cramps, and used nail to take wire out of the chain switch.

No need to remove the wires from the switch - just extra, unnecessary work, the time of which is more pleasurably spent drinking coffee. Naked.

@@usernamemykel Triple or dual capacitor has two or three wires directly to a chain switch, so removing them from chain switch is better than cutting and stripping them. Saves wire nuts.

When one is 78 years old, has spinal stenosis and hip bursitis, one does what is most comfortable while trying to maintain balance on a ladder I am using narrow tubular crimp connectors to take up less space than @@CeilingFanVideosOnYT using wire nuts. If I were to use nuts, I'd want to tape them over for extra electrical security, and that would mean more time on the ladder, uncomfortably. BTW, we needn't be concerned about saving wire nuts since wire nut trees aren't being over-harvested. ; )

Sweet my fan looks like this. I got a new capacitor and new pull switch in today. Dang I bought wrong capacitor, got the one with only 2 wires

In terms of the wire colors on a pull switch fan is the following true? -Purple,Brown, and Gray go to the pull switch where the purple wire slides into the hole labeled #3, the Brown slides into the slot labeled #2, and the Gray slides into the slot labeled #1 -Red wire goes to the Motor -the other Gray wire goes to the forward/reverse switch

Sorry for the dumb question, but when you say "cut the power" for safety, do you mean simply flipping the wall switch (that controls power to the ceiling fan) to the off position or actually going to the circuit breaker and cutting off power to the entire room? Thanks.

Turning the breaker off is what I meant, but you could just flip the switch if you wanted

The issue what I have: Hunter ceiling fan, 3 speed, was working normally. Lately I admit 1 speed (fastest) working well, 2 speed (medium) and 1 speed (lowest) run the same on low speed. I assume it could be bad capacitor or rather speed switch? Thank you

Hey, hope you read this. My 5wire condensator has 6.5uf on red cable and 1.3 on the other two cables. Really hard to find. How can you help me? Can i convert into 2 condensators? If so how? I only need medium and high settings. My rope has answitch that is off,low,medium,high. Please help me

Hello, I wanted to know if I need to discharge the capacitor in any way before I go ahead and cut the wires. Will I get shocked if I go ahead and cut the wires without discharging? Thank you.

technically you are supposed to discharge the capacitor, but i never do.

Does this fix lights not staying on also? I just replaced pull chain for lights and now won't stay on

No, the small switch for your pull chain may be bad

What if a fan was very slow on low speed, but med and high were good, would you lean towards a capacitor or the receiver? This is a fan with a remote. I tried changing the frequency switches and remote batteries but no difference. Thanks

@TheGaginator

Жыл бұрын

It could be the capacitor. Since it's moving at all on low speed, it's receiving a low speed signal, just not performing properly. The new fans with the remotes drive me crazy haha.

i have the same fan and the start capacitor has a 300 VAC rating, would replacing it with a 250 VAC capacitor be detrimental? the run capacitor is rated at 250 VAC.
