Hi, do you know what 3 speed switch goes in the Hunter Eclipse 22561 fan? The switch has been replaced with the incorrect one and now the fan only runs on low. The original switch is gone. I'd be very grateful for the code or description!
we had a 20 year old 4 blade ceiling fan . worked great . nothing wrong with it . just it was really dated . so when out and purchased a new $ 300 plus one . 4 months later it broke . they don't make them like they use to .
Helpful. Never thought about the microfarads... Long time since I've worked with capacitors. Good to know the capacitor is what usually causes the fan to be stuck on one speed. Thanks.
if your fan suddenly decides to change speed without anyone touching the three speed switch, it's the capacitor, but I replaced my switch as well because they tend to wear out pretty easily.
I purchased 52” Larson Ceiling Fan with Light Kit from Home Depot in Montrose, CO and as I’m discovering by my research online, am experiencing a very common problem in that the light works, the fan motor makes a noise when the fan chain is pulled, but the fan blades refuse to turn. I did discover that if I remove the fan blades and give the center a push with a finger, it will spin, but once I put the fan blades back on, it cannot run. There is standard power in my home. The box in which I installed the fan is rated for a fan kit. I thought that maybe a wire had come loose when originally mounting so I disassembled the whole thing and reinstalled it using electrical tape to ensure that the wires were not able to come apart and then attaching the wire connectors that came with the kit. I’ve installed 4 or 5 ceiling fans in my past residences and in family/friends homes so I’m not a noob when it comes to installation of lights and fan kits, so I’m perplexed as to why this installation has been a failure. Is the fan defective? Is there something up with my homes electrical system? This is a very simple DIY project and so far nothing I’ve found online has been able to tell me what the problem is other than to direct me to this email address. There is another Hampton Bay Ceiling Fan with Light Kit that was already installed in the living room when I moved in, so I didn’t think there would be a problem replacing the light in my bedroom with a fan. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
if my pull chain switch for turning the fan is gone bad, can i use the other pull chain switch for reversing the blades because i only use the blades one way anyway
What's my problem if fan is brand new and I wired it to a lutron 3 speed switch and fan is set to high and all the switch does is go from high to off will not switch between med and low speed
Two part question: Can a capacitor fail "slowly"? Can a failing capacitor cause the fan to hum? I've had a decent Hunter fan in use for 20+ years. It is not on a dimmer. It has no remote. It is not on a circuit with another ceiling fan. All three speeds function. When newly installed it did not hum. However, it now has a significant hum. Could this be a problem-capacitor?
I was screwing in a light bulb with the fan and ligh, ts still on. POP. sound, I put in new bulbs. Now lights don't work but fan still does. What is next.
I would like to find out how to wire a cap with 4 wires Yellow Red and Blue and one black by itself. The ceiling fan made by Hampton bay model166315. Thank you
Hi Tim my hunter fan stopped workin mid spin. Now lights won't go on either remote light turns on when IPress the button. Circuit breaker in on. This fan is all remote controlled. I put new battery in.after problem occurred
Hello , can you please tell me how to pry open a zing ear pull chain switch ,, the chain broke but we cant pry open the housing it has only 2 tiny rod shaped screws with only a flat head
My fan won’t stop running. Control is on my wall. Control won’t shut off, change speed or turn on fan lights. Don’t want to buy controller or receiver and learn that wasn’t the issue. Suggestions? Also pulled only fan chain and won’t do anything. If I turn breaker back on, fan blades continue on.
@@debbielightfoot4762I’ve worked electronics as a career. The only way I know of is an LCR bridge. Won’t properly test w/ a digital meter. You can get an idea w/ an analog meter. It’s charging if the analog meter needle sweeps full scale on the voltage scale.
Gordon Edwards i heard a pop and saw sparks today my self. Light works but no fan. Would be great if these guys would answer. Did you find any resolution?
Sometimes a power surge can cause these capacitors to go bad and also another common issue is trying to stop it by hand or switching it to the other direction while it is running
Thank you for your help on the idea of the capacitor giving me the problem, nice taking to you.

my fan goes to 1and 2. no 3.i changed pull chain. didn't work. . it's a harbor breeze. with lights
I have a ceiling fan THAT WONT TURN OFF!
Oh man, he’s great at answering questions! NOT
My ceiling fan lights still work and I can see and hear when I turn the fan on, that it wants to spin but won't. Anything would be helpful.

Hi
Agreed 👍
my ceiling fan lights flash continuously when turned on. what do i need to do to fix?

It would have been helpful to see where on the fan to find these boxes. Do i have to completely pull the fan down to do this?
WHAT IF YOUR FAN WORKS ON LOW AND MEDIUM BUT NOT HIGH, WOULD THAT BE A CAPACITOR OR SWITCH REPLACEMENT?

What's my problem if fan is brand new and I wired it to a lutron 3 speed switch and fan is set to high and all the switch does is go from high to off will not switch between med and low speed
i made a fan go faster by adding a second capacitor
Clever!
How I just purchased a brand new fan an it goes very slow
I have a fan that before the blades are installed the motor turns but once the blades are installed it hums but nothing turns.

My fan stopped spinning all together, no movement. The lights still come on though. So ?????????
that sounds just like mine
Might be a good video if we could hear you!

Hi Tim my hunter fan stopped workin mid spin. Now lights won't go on either remote light turns on when IPress the button. Circuit breaker in on. This fan is all remote controlled. I put new battery in.after problem occurred
my ceiling fan blades kept slowing down til they stopped all together, first some humming then nothing ...although the lites still work fine..help
thanks - got a problem with speeds 1-extremely slow, 2-a bit faster (like what 1 should be, 3.like a helicopter...just the capacitor i.e. controller?.
Hello , can you please tell me how to pry open a zing ear pull chain switch ,, the chain broke but we cant pry open the housing it has only 2 tiny rod shaped screws with only a flat head
what about take a photo for them
Sound is barely audible.
Terrible sound!
Can i replace a ceiling fan 4 wire capicator with a 5 wire capicator?

My ceiling fan just make a humming sound other than that it work fine. What do you think is wrong with it.
Hampton Bay, Radcliffe ceiling fan will not function in low temp.
Is there a way to test start and run capacitors with digital multimeter, will you point me in the right direction?
yes I need help too

what if there is a burning smell?
I heard a pop then the fan stopped working the lights are fine. Could this be the capacitor?

Fan only go in one direction
Fans can rotate both ways.
Get to the point.

I don't think there was one.
