Ceiling Fan Capacitor Replacement in Singapore

When this may be needed

• The fan hums but the blades don't turn.
• The fan only starts if you push the blades.
• The fan spins slowly even on the highest speed.
• Some speeds work and others don't.
• The light works but the fan doesn't.

What the team does

The technician isolates the circuit, opens the fan's canopy or switch housing, and tests the capacitor. Its rating, in microfarads and volts, is read so the replacement matches; a wrong rating changes the fan's speed and can overheat the motor. The new capacitor is connected, the housing closed, and the fan is run on every speed.

Included in this price

• Isolating the circuit and opening the housing
• Testing the old capacitor
• Fitting a capacitor with a matching rating
• Testing every speed

Limits & price factors

The capacitor is charged on top of labour. DC fans don't use run capacitors; their faults are usually in the receiver or controller. A burnt-out motor needs a new fan.

The labour price starts from $90. Fans on high ceilings, and fans where the capacitor sits in the motor housing, take longer.
