This is the 20th fan I have fixed. 90% of the time a fan is spoilt because of faulty capacitor. 

You just need to remove it and replace with a new one. It takes just 5 minutes.

In case you don't know how a capacitor looks here is the picture of the one I took out. You can just use one with same or slightly higher rating when you do the replacement.



You can buy this online for $2 .

After I fix the fan I will ask around to see who needs it and give it away.

Hate to see waste and things being thrown away just because a $2 component fails
