Fried Ceiling Fan Capacitor

[Bucknut]

Can I just replace ceiling fan capacitor, or is there a bigger issue (electrical, motor etc.)?

You can but it is going to fail again down the road or possibly not work at all. Give it a try.

I replaced one many years ago and it still works fine. Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chance.

Had to replace the light pull switch in my ceiling fan tonight. Got tired waiting for it to be fixed.

Took me a minute, but good to have light in that room again!

What brand fan? If it's a hunter their warranty service is great. I mean seriously great. I had the bearings go out on one that was about 20 yrs old, called them up and first they wanted me to replace a $5 part that wasn't covered under warranty. I held the phone up to the fan and spun the blades by hand, told her what I did. She said okay, go to the website pick out one with the same number of blades/lights and let us know. I had it in under a week with free shipping on the return.
