Hi, I have a fan that runs ok except low and high are the same speed, will replacing this capacitor fix it ?

It worked for me ! I was familiar with several types of motors and I was not sure how the speeds changed. When I took the connection cover off and saw the capicitor, I thought it was the problem. The color code on the leads helped me find a replacement.

Yes this will fix it unless the switch is bad but most likely it is the capacitor

I'm sorry but I'm really not sure. It's been awhile since the fan was installed. Your best bet is to check with the manufacturer.

I honestly believe it should work all right in place of the original one. The real values of these caps. come with a wide tolerance range to begin with.If anything the fan could run a little faster. Upon installation I would keep the sections in the same sequence as the original, meaning the 4.5 in place of the 4, the 5 in place of the other 4 and the 6 in place of the 5. Connection error should be avoided to prevent damage.

I used this fan to replace a noisy fan in a GeForce 315. It's spec matched the voltage but the amp was higher than the original and so the reason for the larger connector, i think. I took a chance and soldered the wires/connector from the original fan onto the new fan. Luckily it worked out great. The fan has been running fine for quite a few weeks now.

It's been quite awhile since I repaired both fans on my screened in porch but to the best of my recollection it will work. Simply clip each wire - one at a time - on the old capacitor and match colors. Don't clip them all at once ! Connect with wire nuts, attach the new capacitor with the double stick tape and carefully stuff everything back into the housing.

If you are desperate, it may be possible to do this yourself, at risk of the fan's lifespan if it is frequently turned on and off.The motor appears to be a single-phase AC motor with a capacitor start. My capacitor is 250V rated, so it *can* very easily blow with 220V AC. you need to replace that capacitor easily accessed in the control panel. You want to use a 400V AC motor-start capacitor. Other than that, in normal operation, I believe the speed will be covered by the 50Hz AC you probably get, so it will run just 50/60 83% slower on 50Hz which honestly would be great for noise reasons. You have to be willing to risk losing the fan if I am wrong :'(.

Wish I could help but I do not know what the difference is. Sorry!!! What is the make and model number of your fan?

Honestly do not know for sure. If it has the same issue then I would say yes. If your problem ends up being a faulty capacitor then yes.

The one i got stopped working and so did the replacement after a few usea. It would work olay, but its kindof noisy and the fan is pretty small you have to sit right in front of it for it to work.

Without having any/all details, you can replace a 35 + 5 with a 35 + 5 if it physically fits where you need to install it. Not sure if this is what you meant to ask or if you were replacing a capacitor of different value

You may have to scab in the connector from the old fan (solder or wire nuts will work)

Make sure it is a 5 wire for 5 wire swap. It will change the fan speed. I would be concerned going from 2.5 uf to 6 uf. Don't think I would do it.

If this is a replacement on an a/c unit and 35 micro F is used for the compressor and 5 micro F for the fan motor then it is O.K. Just to make sure the connections are made accordingly.

Match up the color of the wires. In my case two of them were reversed from the old capacitor, but if you simply match the colors it should work fine.

Electrically they are very close to being the same, I do recommend getting a new start capacitor with the new motor. You will have to take your AC unit apart and measure the shaft diameter and motor bolt pattern to make sure they are the same. Also this motor is reversible, so make sure when you wire it up the fan is spinning the right direction.

It just might I replace all the bloated up capacitors basically no more noice and taking long on turning on. But if it has lines going up and down thats a picture board problem. Hope this helps.

From what I remember you should be fine with this motor. I did replace capacitor at same time. Remember to give capacitor some time to charge up after turning power back on. About an hour is plenty. Very happy with motor.
