New CEILING FAN CAPACITOR CBB61 4.5uf + 6uf + 5uf 5 WIRE 250V: Home Improvement
This was the perfect fit for my Hampton Bay ceiling fan, model AC-552. Four key points that will make life easier for other DIY'ers.
1) On my fan model, this was located inside the"light kit" at the bottom of the fan. You can probably remove the light kit without pulling the entire fan from the ceiling and half disassembling the motor like I did. :)
2) Note the squishy, double-sided tape on the old capacitor. In my photo, the new capacitor is on the left, and the new is on the right. You'll want to put some on the new capacitor, something like this. It helps the new capacitor stick to the housing and not rattle around.
Had a ceiling fan that was spinning slowly. Ordered this to replace the C61 originally installed in the Hunter Breeze fan. It wasnt bulging or anything, but I replaced it anyways due to the slow startup. After replacing it, works like a champ now. Spins as fast as ever. Glad I purchased it and would buy again! Just like the original. Clipped the wires near the cap, used small gray wire nuts I had on hand and was easy to replace. If you dont have any grey wire nuts, you will need them as the ones in the fan are permanent from the factory. Clip the wires close to the old cap and strip and wire up, your good to go!
We bought a new house and the builders left a new ceiling fan in a box in the attic. A couple of years later I wondered if it was any good, but it didn't work when I tested it. I immediately suspected the switch or the capacitor. This one matched the specifications so I installed this capacitor and a new switch, and the fan worked as good as new as soon as I installed it. Of course you need to understand enough about wiring to be safe and how to hook up household electrical components. Disconnect the circuit breaker, etc. If you've ever installed a ceiling fan you can probably perform this installation.
I'd been considering purchasing a new fan to replace one in my bedroom since the high speed was no longer spinning at high speed, then I did some research online and found that a worn out capacitor could be the culprit. After inspecting the OEM capacitor, I found that it had "tumors" in a couple places. It strongly resembled a swollen laptop or phone battery, except there were a couple isolated areas rather than the entire thing being enlarged.
Replacement was easy, except for the fact that I broke the OEM fan switch because I didn't understand how the mechanism worked in terms of installing the wires. You push a "spring" that looks like a lever, and it will release the existing wire. Reverse this to install the wires from the new capacitor.
After breaking the original part, I ordered a replacement here on Amazon. I'm glad that I did, as the "gates" for the wires on the new switch unit are much larger and the springs had much more force than the old OEM piece. So for <$20 total, I have my original fan back and don't have to worry about purchasing a new one unnecessarily. In the future if any capacitor issues arise with other fans, I'm planning on replacing both the switch and capacitor at the same time.
Remember to take a picture of the wires in your OEM unit before you disconnect anything. Also, when starting up my fan for the first time I thought I'd miswired because it didn't start with the high speed as you'd anticipate when pulling the cord from the stop position. Once I'd pulled the chain through a full cycle, everything started functioning normally. My guess is that this is an issue with where the switch defaults rather than with the capacitor or wiring.
So, product is good and shipping was fast from my seller. I highly recommend trying this before spending a lot of money on a new fan unit.
I did not receive a NEW as advertised item. The body of the capacitor had scratches all over it, as if it had been rubbed on a rough surface and a pair of the wires, a grey and a red, had the copper all twisted up as if it was attached to and removed from some wire nuts already.
I needed this to replace the bad 4.5 micro farad cap on my ceiling fan. I tested this new cap and it read 4.27 micro farads, exactly at it's +-5% tolerance. I'm not pleased by all this, I did test it and after attaching it to my fan and it seems to function properly.
As I don't feel like returning this part is worthwhile, especially with the current state of Corona Virus impact, I am going to use it and take my chances. As a note though, there is no case this should have been sold as new with the witness marks pointing to used. Electronics and electronic components can be easily damaged by people and returned, causing the next consumer extra risk if passed off as functionally new.
I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt, but beware this seller is at the very least deceitful in marketing and may not have your safety and interest in mind. Marked to 2 stars just for the unease I get being sold a used product to use.

Used these motors before in 2 coal furnaces I run in my house and garage. My local dealer wanted $180.00 for this motor. Purchasing it for $61.00 was a steal. They usually last about 3 years but coal is dirty. I’d expect them to last longer in a cleaner environment. Very happy with purchase.
Great quality fan. Quiet and smooth. I use it with a variable power supply without issue. I think the key is to turn it on at full power and then throttle down afterwards to the desired speed to minimize damage to the windings.
This Dayton blower is the perfect replacement for a 25 year old woodstove fan. It seems well constructed and it works well. My only minor gripe would be it doesn’t move as much air as I had hoped. But putting that aside, it’s everything that I hoped and wished it would be upon unboxing and installing it.
