This video will give some insight into replacing the capacitor in a ceiling fan.
Ceiling fan moving slowly.
All ceiling mounts have copper black white and red wires coming from them and are connected to a two way switch on the wall one controls fan speed the other the light.
Is your fan running slow.
The slowness of the fan is sometimes cause by the capacitor if it s running slowly without making noise.
Ceiling fans that operate at speeds slower than normal can have one of four problems.
Two of these issues are mechanical.
New ceiling fan runs slow even on highest setting our home is a new build and was pre wired for ceiling fans.
If it s making noise then that s because of lack of oil in the motor.
Loss of bearing lubrication and poor blade balance.
Either a bad capacitor or damaged winding.
Repeat this test for each blade until you find the one where the wobble starts to lessen.
Then move the coin up and down the blade trying heavier coins as necessary until you find the optimal balance.
Watch this video as this will help you troubleshoot and repair it under 10.
Start by taping a dime to the middle of a single blade and turning the fan on high.
