Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

This capacitor is a direct replacement for CBB61 capacitors with the exact same capacitance values (4.5 microfarad, 6 microfarad, and 5 microfarad) and a 5-wire configuration. Ensure that the voltage rating of this capacitor is equal to or greater than the original part.

Compatibility & Fitment

Designed for starting and running single-phase motors in 50Hz/60Hz AC electric power systems. Commonly used in ceiling fans from various manufacturers, including but not limited to Hampton Bay, Hunter, and Westinghouse. Also suitable for stand fans, wall fans, and small single-phase motors where capacitance and voltage ratings match.

When to Replace

• Ceiling fan will not start or requires a manual push to begin spinning.
• Fan runs at only one speed or fails to change between speed settings.
• A humming or buzzing noise is audible from the motor housing without blade rotation.
• Fan operates noticeably slower than its designed speeds.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect all electrical power to the ceiling fan at the circuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation.
• Before disconnecting the old capacitor, take a clear photograph or draw a diagram of the wire connections.
• Match the wires from the new capacitor to the old connections based on your diagram. Do not rely solely on wire color, as it can vary.
• Ensure the new capacitor's voltage rating is equal to or higher than the original capacitor's rating.
• Verify that all connections are secure before restoring power.
