I need to replace a capacitor 5 wire 4/4/5 for my 3 speed ceiling fan but i can't find the exact match i want to know if i can use this one instead

It really should work...we bought ours off of a distributor from Amazon.com, and they were the only place we could find one. We only paid a couple bucks, my husband put it in the next day, and it has been working wonderfully since. Our capacitor looked just like this one. It saved us from having to buy another whole fan.

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 agree with the previous four answers. Here is what I did; 1. Removed and opened the ceiling fan switch & wiring compartment. Found matching switch at Lowes or Home Depot, only $4 or so. It didn't help. 2. I removed the capacitor (be careful to keep track of which wire colors connect together.) 3. I looked on line at http://eceilingfans.com/capacitors_-_ceiling_fans.html As long as you find one with a matching number of wires and the same numbers (like 4.5/5/6uf) it should work. Sorry for the delay in responding, hope this helps you.

It could but there are a lot of things to consider. If it will even fit is a good start and if it will is it the same voltage or higher. Also the actual capacitance is important is must be the same or greater. Some capacitors have a positive and negative and if yours does the new one needs to match. The new capacitor also needs to have the same amperage rating or higher. If you can find all of that information and it matches up you are OK to use it.

Dear Dale, what is the current rating of the fan? the converter can supply 3A maximum. Beware that you cannot exceed the input voltage (40V). 36 VDC is fine if the source doesn't generate spikes above 40V. A 12 gauge wire is massive, much more than you need for the 3A this converter can supply. Again, I have no idea if it is enough for your fan. Regards, Jorge

Hi Linda, Just in case you haven't found their web site try this one. It seems it will serve your needs with parts and Instructions Manuals. http://www.casablancafanrepair.com/ Hope this works for you. I was able to still read the info on the side of the one I recently replaced and was able to match a 5 wire 4.5/5/6uf for a 4 wire. The only difference was there was two orange input wires, I joined them to the input lead. Good Luck, JP

Sorry but beyond my skill set. I had a fan and simply wired this one where the old one had been. Wish I could help.

Yes. It's a standard 3 speed fan switch available at Home Depot, Lowes and most hardware stores. I just replaced mine.

It is a 4 DIP switch and does not work with the fan since the original fan requires 8. I was VERY disappointed, particularly since they are the exact same model number. I sent mine back and requested an 8 DIP switch. I have not heard back from the company yet.

The capacitor is a non-polarized electrolytic and therefore it doesn't matter which side the leads go to. Just keep the same wires together as they were on the one that was replaced.

this was a long time ago ..I believe it was identical but was not the exact same as the switch I removed ... a few mins with a ohm meter should tell you which connector does what job..I had the original apart and worked out what was what BUT after wiring a second identical fan up the same as the first it didn't work....apparently there are 3 or so wiring methods. But then at the price there's only a few pence to lose!

No, There is a maximum of +10% tolerance in microfarad rating on replacement start capacitors, but exact run capacitors must be replaced. Voltage rating must always be the same or greater than original capacitor whether it is a start or run capacitor. The capacitor you are replacing is actually two capacitors in one. A 35 microfarad for the compressor, and a 5 microfarad for the condenser fan. You can make a substitution up to 10%, but replacing the original 5 microfarad capacitor with a 3 microfarad capacitor would be a 40% difference. Don't do it.

Should work , mine was fine. be sure the mounts fit. Likely an air conditioner fan motor? The shaft also was fine , I can not recall details, but the price was very good. The cap supplied be only for Fan motor, you may have a dual cap and you can figure this out. good luck

I do not know for sure. My fan blower works only on # five. I ordered this unit, installed it and the fan still only blows when the switch in on # 5. I returned the unit. I need to take my truck in to a shop and have them trouble shoot. I thought it would have been an easy fix. Good luck.

It depends on how you have the original mounted in the ceiling. Sometimes you can use the original housing and install a replacement fan motor since only the moving parts really wear out but I don't think that they are interchangeable across those models.

Hi Henry, were the wires on the old capacitor color coded, if so look at the diagram on both capacitor and the wires to determine, if they follow the same circuit, if they both follow the same circuit then you can go ahead and connect the wires. If you are not sure, please consult an electrician.

This motor will work with your 45+5 cap, since this motor uses the same cap as your old one. The increased amperage shouldn't be a problem at all, either. The only things left to compare are the rpm of your current fan motor and if it is single speed. I'd assume it is single speed AND on par with 1000rpm. If it is, you are good to go.

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
