CompStudio 2Pcs 5UF 450V AC CBB61 Ceiling Fan Capacitor 2 Wire 50/60Hz

Quick and easy fix! Fit 2 different ceiling fans with 2 different problems! Saved us $400!

I have a bunch of 20-year-old Hunter Fans (23481-380) that still look good but one of them lost the high speed. Medium and high seemed to be about the same and there didn't seem to be much of a difference between Low Speed and Medium Speed when it was on.Sadly, even though these fans look just like a current Hunter Model the internal parts have been discontinued. Hunter sells a half dozen different wiring harness that look a lot like this one, but they don't offer a cross reference and the 800 number wasn't any help... "Nope, your wiring harness has been discontinued" and that was the end of their assistance.I initially thought that the 4-wire capacitor had failed. I could have tested it, but it was less than $10 so I just replaced it. When that didn't fix my problem, I looked at the start capacitor.At first it looked fine but then I noticed on the back that there were some raised veins where you could see that it had overheated. I have included photos so you could see what I mean. Hunter originally installed a 250v capacitor and it did last about 20 years but a 450v capacitor will handle heat a bit better, so I went with this one.Neither the OEM Capacitor or the replacement had a polarity listed and based on my research these capacitors are non-polarized, so this was basically splice and play.There is one caveat that I didn't think of initially. The 450v capacitor is physically larger than the original by about 20%. It still fit fine inside of the Hunter Fan housing in mine so just keep that in mind.

New life to an old fan for a fraction of the cost of a new fan. If fans run slow try this cheap fix first you will not regret it.

I had purchased three Hunter™ fans five years ago during a house remodel. One fan failed and when I contacted Hunter™ for a replacement motor, I was told that there were no longer any spare/repair parts for that model. Then they offered a 30% discount off of a new fan. Big whoop! I seemed the only fans that were 'in stock' were in the four hundred dollar range and up. The fan that failed was around three hundred. Due dilligence resulted in my trying to affect a repair on my own and after a test with a multimeter, this was what I ordered. The fan is fixed, running properly and I have a spare for when another goes out.

The items that I received at the correct capacitance value but are 50% larger than the dimensions shown. I had to return them because they would not fit in the space I had available
