Compatible With Many Ceiling Fans
This capacitor is commonly used in many ceiling fans including Hunter, Hampton Bay, Harbor Breeze, Westinghouse and Kichler. Compare the wire count, capacitance and voltage of your old capacitor before ordering.
Before You Order
- Your existing capacitor must have 3 wires.
- The voltage rating should be equal to or higher than your original capacitor.
- For AC (alternating current) fans only, not for DC motors.
- Wire colors may differ from your old capacitor. Follow your fan wiring diagram for the correct connections. Not sure how to connect it? See our ceiling fan capacitor wiring diagram and replacement guide.
Other Uses
This 3-wire 1.5uF 3uF capacitor is also used in:
- Ceiling fan motor control
- Stand and pedestal floor fans
- Garage exhaust or vent fans
- Table-top and desktop fans (including Vornado fans)
CBB61 3-Wire 1.5uF 3uF Ceiling Fan Capacitor FAQs
-
How do I know if my ceiling fan capacitor needs replacement?
If your fan hums, starts slowly, runs slower than usual, or no longer changes speeds, the capacitor may be weak or damaged. Replacing it often restores normal operation.
-
Will this 3-wire 1.5uF 3uF capacitor fit my fan?
Check the label on your old capacitor. Your fan needs a capacitor with 3 wires and the same capacitance values (1.5uF + 3uF). The voltage rating should match or exceed the original.
-
Can I use a capacitor with a higher voltage rating?
Yes. A capacitor with the same or higher voltage rating is safe to use. Never install one with a lower voltage rating than the original.
-
Do the wire colors have to match my old capacitor?
No. Wire colors can differ between manufacturers. Connect each wire according to your fan wiring diagram or the position of the original wire, not by color alone.
-
Does this capacitor work on both 50Hz and 60Hz power?
Yes. This CBB61 capacitor is rated for both 50Hz and 60Hz.
-
How do I install a ceiling fan capacitor?
Turn off the power at the circuit breaker, take a photo of the existing wiring, then disconnect the old capacitor and connect the new one to the same positions. Always make sure the power is off before you start.
