There are a variety of capacitor sizes in ceiling fans. The capacitor is dependant upon the characteristics of the fans motor. Whether it is a single speed, two speed or three speed. If you think it is the capacitor At Fault for the fan not operating, take the fan down and open it up. This will give you the exact sizing for your fan.

Internal circuit components of a ceiling fan?
The most important parts of the fan are- 1. Motor (Stator and Rotor) 2. Capacitors 3. Triple Capacitors (to control the voltage entering the motor) 4. Reverse Switch
Why do you use a dc capacitor in table fans while an ac capacitor in a ceiling fan?
there is no separate capacitors for AC and DC. All capacitors are same. Electrolytic capacitors are manufactured by creating a die-electric by chemical etching or electroplating on one plate. Such capacitors when connected in AC circuit dislodges the die-electric material and thus results in short circuit between the two parallel plates of the capacitor. For AC circuits only non-electrolytic capacitors should be used. The common type is oil impregnated paper capacitor.
If we change the polarity of capacitor in ceiling fan why it starts rotating reverse direction?
by changing the polarity of capacitor of single phase ceiling fan can we change the direction of rotation from anticlockwise to clockwise
Why are ceiling fans reversible?
In the winter as you heat your house, the hottest air rises to the ceiling. Ceiling fans are reversible so that you can push this warm air off of the ceiling in the winter. Of course, you will most likely want to run the fan on its lowest speed, since a draft from the fan can actually make you feel colder.
When was a fan invented?
The first cooling fan was invented in 1882. It was invented by Schuyler Skaats Wheeler. The ceiling fan was invented in 1887 by Philip Diehl.
Can you do without a capacitor in a ceiling fan?
No, it is the capacitors effect upon the motor's winding that starts the fan to turn.

What capacitors are used in ceiling fan?
A capacitor add torque to an electric motor that is designed to use them, they are called PSC or permanent split capacitor type motors. the capacitors terminals go to the Run and Start windings.
What causes a variable speed ceiling fan from reaching top speed revolutions?
There are 3 capacitors inside the fan, wired to the pull chain switch. one or all of these will be all melted and derformed. replace the damaged capacitors, the values are written right on them. these caps are what control the speed of the fan by limiting voltage to the motor.
What is a ceiling fan?
It's a fan that hangs from your ceiling.
What is hugger ceiling fan?
A ceiling fan that mounts directly to the ceiling with no down-rod.
How do you connect ceiling fan used at home to a capacitor?
typically, you don't attach capacitors to ceiling fans ( 120V or 240V ). A capacitor would only be used for one of two reasons. 1. to reduce the noise on the AC in your home or 2. to reduce the spikes to your fan... neither of these make any sense.

Does a ceiling fan break in?
It should not be necessary to 'break in' a ceiling fan.
Is a black ceiling fan more becoming then a white ceiling fan?
There is no actual real significant difference, besides the color. A black ceiling fan works the exact same as a white ceiling fan. Of course, the brand of the fan might make a difference, though the color of the fan will not.
Where is the fan capacitor?
If you are referring to a ceiling fan it is in the bell housing where the fan connects to the electrical box at ceiling level.
What is structure of ceiling fan?
ceiling fan consist of a miter which run an as soon as wing
