Locate & Identify The Start
Capacitor
(1) Turn the fan circuit breaker OFF. Ensure that all
electrical power to the fan motor is
disconnected/off.
(2) Starting on either side of the fan motor, remove
the three cover screws from the cover as shown in
Figures 1 and 2.
(3) Inspect the capacitor first to verify that the
capacitor is Black in color. Black is the correct
start capacitor color. If the capacitor is Light
Gray, reinstall the cover and then remove the
cover on the opposite side of the fan motor.
(4) If the capacitor is Black, disconnect the two
connectors from the old start capacitor and
reconnect to the new start capacitor. Refer to
Figure 3. Remove and discard the old start
capacitor.
(5) If the NEW start capacitor is noticeable larger
than the old start capacitor, the foam which was
originally placed between the old capacitor and
the cover will no longer fit with the new larger
capacitor. Remove the foam and reduce the
overall length by tearing the foam in half. Refer
to Figure 4.
(6) Place the new start capacitor inside the cover and
then insert the foam in the end of the cover to
insulate/protect the connectors and terminals.
Refer to Figure 5.
(7) While carefully tucking wires inside the cover to
prevent the wires from being pinched, reassemble
the cover assembly to the motor and gasket with
the three screws as shown in Figure 2.
(8) Reassemble the cover assembly as shown in
Figure 2.
(9) Conduct a fan operation test to verify that the fan
goes from OFF to full speed in approximately 2-3
seconds. Check the fan’s complete functionality.
NOTICE:
The Pin 1 Ground and Pin 2 Signal terminals
(Refer to Figure 3) are reversed on the Female
and Male Inserts. Ensure wires are correctly
connected when the female and male
connectors are connected.
