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.

FAQ

A failing capacitor is the most common cause of ceiling fan issues. You likely need a replacement if your fan is slow to start, fails to reach full speed, hums without spinning, or if the fan speed settings no longer change as expected. If the fan spins only when given a manual push, the capacitor has almost certainly lost its ability to provide the necessary starting torque.
This is a CBB61 5-wire capacitor rated for 250V AC at 50/60Hz. It features a capacitance configuration of 4.5µF + 6µF + 5µF with a tolerance of +/- 5%.
This unit features 5 wires. Typically, one wire acts as the common lead, and the other four are paired to provide the different capacitance values required for your fan's speed settings. Before disconnecting your old capacitor, take a photo of the existing wiring or label the wires to ensure the new unit is connected in the exact same configuration. Ensure the power is completely disconnected at the breaker before beginning any work.
This CBB61 capacitor is a universal-style replacement compatible with a wide range of ceiling fan brands, including Harbor Breeze, Hunter, and many others. As long as your original capacitor matches the 4.5µF + 6µF + 5µF rating and the 5-wire configuration, it will function correctly regardless of the fan manufacturer.
Installation is straightforward and typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will need a screwdriver to access the fan housing, wire strippers or cutters, and wire nuts to secure the connections. Always verify that the power is off using a voltage tester before touching any wiring.
Ceiling fan capacitors are subject to heat stress and electrical wear during daily operation. Over time, the internal dielectric material degrades, causing the capacitor to lose its ability to store and release the electrical charge required to turn the motor. High ambient temperatures and frequent use of the fan accelerate this natural aging process.
