Why do Fan Capacitors Fail?

If your ceiling fan isn’t starting or running too slowly, the problem could be the Fan Capacitor. It’s a small but essential part that keeps your fan running properly. Let’s recap and break it down in a simple way.

What Is a Fan Capacitor?

A Fan Capacitor is a small cylindrical device inside your fan that helps start the motor and control speed. Without it, most fans won’t work properly.

• Fan takes a lot of time to speed up
• Fan runs at one speed only

Why do Fan Capacitors Fail?

Capacitors, like any electrical component, don’t last forever. Here’s why they can fail over time:

• Power Surges: Voltage spikes can overwhelm the capacitor and cause it to burn out.
• Low Quality: Cheap capacitors wear out faster and are more prone to failure.
• Old Age: As they age, the material inside the capacitor degrades, reducing its effectiveness.

Replacing a faulty fan capacitor is usually quick and affordable. Just make sure to use the correct µF rating.
For safety, it’s best to call a qualified electrician to handle the replacement.
