Ceiling Fan Hums And Only Works On Low Speed

[@Heavy_metal_rulez]

i have installed and taken apart tons of ceiling fans in my life and i never knew that little black box was a capacitor. i learned something new today! thank you Rich!

[@ApartmentMaintenance]

Niceeee 👍 I try to learn something new everyday especially at work. Glad I can help. Thanks for watching Sean 👍👍

I guess that's why hvac technicians have such a bad reputation

Recently got a fan which was even slower than yours on high. Replaced the capacitor and it works well again.

@@ApartmentMaintenance Yeah I already knew about capacitors even before watching this video. Just wanted to add in the comment section.

Apartment Maintenance I’m glad one of us is staying busy 👍🍻

Yeah bad capacitor can cause a motor to go out of sync making it buzz. Some fans do change start/run capacitors to change speeds instead of using separate capacitor for speeds, and those can buzz on medium and low. I have a Hampton Bay Rockport that's like that and when I wired it to remote, remote medium and low are quieter than factory medium and low.

Capacitor nice thx buddy..thought that was a speed relay

[@ApartmentMaintenance]

Yep, the little capacitor will do it! Thanks for watching Richard & Subscribe to the channel if your not already 👍

[@AhmedAli-wy1in]

If the capacitor is fine but still slow then ?

[@ApartmentMaintenance]

Probably the motor then, but hard for me to say for sure without seeing it in person. Did you test the capacitor? Thanks for watching Ahmed & Subscribe to the channel 👍

[@CeilingFanVideosOnYT]

@@ApartmentMaintenance Two common ways fan slow down are capacitor going bad, and blade pitch being steeper.

[@ApartmentMaintenance]

@@CeilingFanVideosOnYT Nice! Good to know. Thanks for the tip.

[@Santi-pp7zs]

My ceiling fan turns on and off but only on the low setting. Would that be the same issue?

[@ApartmentMaintenance]

Sorry for the delay on my response. I would say most likely since it sounds like it's doing the same exact thing, but it's hard to say without seeing it in person to diagnose it. Thanks for watching Santi & Subscribe to the channel 👍

Haven't watched video...bad control module or switch

[@ApartmentMaintenance]
