- Well for the fan to spin you have to turn the shaft for it yo spin. when you have a problem like this it can only mean one out of two things. the first thing to check it the capacitor. if the capacitor give you a low reading the it need to be change.
Nice job..A Trinidadian cant hide.😀
Yup
I’m one too
Yup
For real
Capacitor is good motor will not turn switch lites work ?
Thanks for the help, my fans problem was fixed by simply removing the blades and re-securing them and it started spinning normal again.🥳
This guy has to be from Trinidad. I'd know that accent anywhere. Good work bro!
Ent
Same thing I saying
Ukr 🤣😂....Trini badness
Ent i had a feeling too
I and all saying that.
Since purchasing it, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQuBMI30VhO6fDed6NOsYftsoNa8x0UZ5 this fan is a trustworthy companion during the hot nights in Texas for me. The sleep mode is really quiet and gives you smooth wind to cool down. At full speed the fan is quite noisy but also very strong.Only weird thing is that if there is a draught from another fan, the sleep mode would speed up occasionally (getting a bit louder, probably to level 2 out of 4). This never happened so far when I used only this fan though.
I was the one who wrote to you about how you take the wires out and you told me what a flat pen. I also did a derma fuse change on a fan just by watching you. You are amazing and the fan works. It was my friend he was going to throw it away and I told him let me check it out.
THIS IS THE EXACT VIDEO I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!!! I encountered the exact same problem with the same Lasko fan model just yesterday. I'm glad you and I were on the same page. Thank so much for pointing out the issue!!!😁😁👍👍
no problem.
Thank you very much, I had a fix it man that only bambooziling my husband . The amount of money he already paid to keep fixing one fan he could have bought a new one already 🙄🤣
You can't trust those technician these days. Especially the new one who's will hit you a 6 for a 9 take your money and gone without returning your calls. I out there 14 years now. I have a standard. Honestly is the best policy.
I made the mistake of changing the capacitor on my Lasko 20" box fan. The motor hummed, but I couldn't start it and I figured it was worth a try. The new capacitor didn't fix it, then I noticed that it didn't even hum when you ran it with no capacitor, so the problem must have been open stator run windings. What I should have done was to test it after I removed the capacitor and thrown it out when I noticed the lack of humming. I learned a little in the process, though.
I had a lot of trouble with that motor hood also! Ended up taking the whole fan apart in order to do the job. Thank you for your information, I will try and find a capacitor here in Tucson, AZ and save the fan from the junk pile.
thank for watching my videos. I made that video for you all I hope it was useful in anyway. pass it on to friends & family who might need some help.
@@mr.fixit3604hi,where can i get capacitor and fuse to buy in trinidad?
Good morning, I'm happy I came across your video, I find it very informative however capacitors are very hard to get I sent my fan to fix and it worked for a short while and I'm fedup of paying for poor service, they didn't even change any part, they butchered the wires and attached a old capacitor, I'm angry because I'm58years old and I cannot afford to buy a fan right now😢😢😢😢
You can't trust technician these days. Them not good at all.
I am a fan fixer and my aunty fan stopped spinning so this vedio was very helpful
great.
Nice job on the fan
thanks
Im surprised that this fan is in that good of a condition you usually find these beat up and yellowed or just beat up, i have the same fan and your video helped thanks!
Very informative thanks 🙏
You sound like a trinidadian ? I appreciate the way way you take your time and explain whats going on in the videos . thanks and keep up the good work
Great job so where can you buy capacitors in Trinidad?
5.5uf capacitor (CBB61 is the model)
Steve's electronics in san juan
I'm trying to find this capacitor online but can't seem to find a Match. Vim qpc-mea3 is what is on the label
You don't have to get the same capacitor. Just the uf value. What is the uf number. Is it 5.5 uf.
Thanks for teaching me this
5.5uf capacitor (CBB61 is the model) is what you guys. This is the original part spec. No sure if local has it but ebay and amazon is allur friend
What would cause it to spin a few seconds and then stop light remaining on 🇹🇹🤔🤷🏽♂️
Boss advice!!!
Thanks so much for this. Just happened to my fan. Where can I purchase a new capacitor for the fan and is it brand sensitive?
I need a capacitor also! How do i know which one to buy?
Well the motor stop humming tonight n started to smell burnt out. I think that's it now. Gone it gone.
At your local appliance stores or online.
the cap that you screw above the blades to tighten them in place broke for me, the plastic grooves that help it screw onto the pole literally just crumbled into pieces, i dont know how the plastic deteriated like that, so i cant screw the cap back on since it has no grooves, so i have loose blades, im from trinidad i dont know where to buy a new lasko cap to tighten my blades..
Thank you for posting this video, it helped me out a lot.
Where do you get the capacitor to purchase
At your local appliance stores or online.
Can you do a video on a lasko 2520 capacitor replacement?
Ok when I my hands on one.
I have a lasko fan. I attached an ohmmeter to the power cord and got 0 ohms in any position. I think I overheated it and a winding blew.
Well the winding don't blew. the winding burnout due to over heating when all the vent in the housing clogged up with dust and debris in all the vent hole.
What is the part number of the capacitor? Ah - 4.0 uf or larger.
It written on the capacitor.
Great video! From Trinidad as well. Where can I get the capacitor to purchase locally?
Thank you...
Trini to deh bone thanks 🙏🙇bro
Do you need the same capacitor for a lasco fans
How and Where did you find a replacement capacitor of the proper configuration?
Where in trinidad could i get capacitors to buy?
Same thing I'm asking
How fixing a broken fan. The fan refuses to start.
Check the capacitor.
does it matter what wire goes where? I know on bigger motors with some capacitors, as long as u have continuity ur good. I have a fan that runs slowly, thinkin' it's the capacitor
it doesn't matter which wire or how you hook up the capacitor it will work good.
If your fan spinning slowly it could be the capacitor going through or the motor get a little weak after time. or it just need a good servicing by cleaning the motor from dust build up after time. try cleaning the motor and oiling the motor shaft and see how that work for you.
Where can I get capacitor???
Hi goodnight my lasko fan stop working but when i turn it on im hearing a noise like it wants to come on but its not comin on what do you tink is the problem is it the motor or the capacitar??
hi good night. well it can be the motor or the capacitor or it just need some cleaning.
try turning the blade with your finger, if it turn freely. then the shaft ain't stuck. if it hard to turn then you need to clean the shaft. now change the capacitor and if it don't work then it's the motor is the problem.
Where can you purchase these capacitors in trinidad?
Where in Trinidad can I get a capacitor??
you should give capacitor part number and where to buy link.
sizes doesn't matter. what you need to remember is the value. the older capacitors value is 2.5 uf. the newer capacitors value is 4.0 uf and up.
@@mr.fixit3604 Thank you Sir very informative... went through Alibaba, placed an order and resolved the issue.

Hi. What tool did you use to remove capacitor? You hand was blocking the shot. Does removal require man strenght? Also does this repair require soldering?
I took may Lasko fan apart but I am unable to remove capacitor. Can you please do a follow up video highlighting step by step how to remove old capacitor, what tools to use & installation new capacitor..
Thanks Robin
I;ll make a video on how to remove a capacitor.
@@mr.fixit3604 What happened to the stand? Did it break?
@@kwinters5550 No the stand don't break. It wasn't necessarily to film it on video.
@@mr.fixit3604 Ok.
Where you get the capacitor to buy ?

Where can I get capacitor to buy ?
I found a fan that's not working but looks brand new. Could it be the capacitor or the speed switch that's broke.
You wouldn't know unless you run some test. run some test and see. any problem you know where to find me. good luck with your repairs.
Would I be able to get more RPM if I connect 2 capacitors? Or would to coil burn?
No.
Hey I encounter the same prob with the capacitor but Is there a way to by pass the capacitor n make the fan run direct??
no there is no noway to by pass the capacitor. the fan must have a capacitor for it to work. if the capacitor is removed. the fan will run very very slowly.
What could be the reason that 1 and 2 don't work at all and 3 works very weakly?
Were do you get your capacitor from nice work
At your local appliance stores or online.
Where did you get the capacitor for this make fan, I have the same fan.
online I buy in bulk it's cheaper.
About how much money for that part
@@marlamanicoum8399 I buy my parts online. 9 US for a capacitor on ebay.
@@mr.fixit3604 ok thank you god bless😊
Hi I tried changing the capacitor in my lasko fan however that doesn't fix the problem. Can u assist? I'm in trinidad
What value is the capacitor and can i find it close to Scottsdale Arizona?
Where can I buy a replacement capacitor in trinidad? I'm in the west side
i need the part number of tht capacitor
Where I can buy the thing,what is the name,we do not understand what you saying...Thank You
What if it's not spinning at all even when you physically spin it?
Well it could be the capacitor need to replace, the cord bad, the motor gone it humming but it not spinning bad motor.
@@mr.fixit3604 nah totally quiet.. I have some other lasko fans I'll see if I can follow and replace some parts .. thanks for the vid
Where can you find the capasitor
Yo bossman what about if the termal protector goes dead! Can you make a vid on how to change that on a lasko?!
in due time.
Great job where can I get those parts bro
I need to change the neck thingie so it can oscilate. I have an old fan to swap it with but can't remove the neck. Can u help?
it's easy. I'll make a video on how to change the neck thingie lol.
@@mr.fixit3604 WOW! I'm excited!

Where in Trinidad can I get these capacitors to buy?
try your local general store.
Are you from Trinidad I need your help to fix my fan rooter my fan is the same brand just like that it's a 18 inch
no
Would help others to state part numbers and size of capacitor and where you got it.
sizes doesn't matter. what you need to remember is the value. the older capacitors value is 2.5 uf. the newer capacitors value is 4.0 uf and up.
I Just Watched Someone Fix The Hummming But Not Spinning Without Assistance, Or Slow Staring... By Just Oiling The Shaft On Each Side Of The Motor!!??🤔😞... Did You 1st Try This & It Didn't Work!!??🤔😞... Just Curious If There's A Way To Tell If The Capacitor Is Bad!!??🤔😞....
As Mine Just Started Doing This A Day Or Two After I Cleaned It!!??🤔😞
If the fan is humming it could mean the capacitor need to be replaced.
Where do I buy a new capacitor for lasko fan?

Sir mera wall fan jam ho jata hai jaise hi on karta hun...aur vibration ka sound ata hai...jab main electricity band karta hun to shaft freely ghumta hai...please suggest
ki on karne pe hi kyun jam hota hai...
My fan started off with a lazy start now its squeaking, doesn't stay on for long and when on spins really slow and smells like it's burning. What u think is the issue?
Spin the blade with your hand. if it hard to turn then oil the shaft.
Where can I purchase the capacitors?
Where are you located? I need a contact
I'm sorry but I don't do repair as a full time job. I'm an electrician now full time. just now I'll post up some electrical videos.
Brenden help i put on a terminal fuse on my fan and the fan going backwards . How to switch the ground and the hot
I don't know what fan you have and why it going backwards. This is a first for me.
My fan works however is the capactoir the problem its like it works but he blade does not spin
If it working good without the blade. And not working good with the blade. Then it could be the capacitor or the motor get weak.
@@mr.fixit3604 Found the problem was the Capacitor a while ago but thanks for reaching out
@@mysticalspace2596 no problem. I now see your message. I don't get any notifications when people message me. I does have to go through all my videos to see new messages. That does take a lot of time.
Bro, I've got a lasco fan, I'm getting power but it's not spinning, can you tell me what could be the problem
check the capacitor.
My lasko fan overheated and is not working
If it over heating then the motor is bad. It can't fix.
What other syntoms a failed capacitor produces?
No power to the motor or capacitor smell bad.
Where we can buy the capacitor?
At your local appliances store or online.
i have a lasko fan just like this i broke it from bumping into at night by accident when it was dark and now it barely spins :( what do i do?
oil down the shaft and see if it spinning faster now. if not. open it up and run some test.
@@mr.fixit3604 what kind of oil. Also thanks for the video and sorry for replying for such an old video.
@@10cromosoma machine oil works best.
hi good day i have an 18" lasko fan it stoped spinning i put in a new capacitor and it still didnt work what could be the problem ? and where are you located ?
It could be the cord or motor is the problem.
Where are you located
Where I get the capacitor? Thanks
At your local appliances store or online.
What's the normal price in TTD for a capacitor and where can I get one?
Capacitors are below 100 dollars. you can get it at your local appliances or online.
@@mr.fixit3604 Thanks for the reply. I would really rather buy a replacement capacitor than a whole new fan. lol But since my fan has been off for a while, and I had it unplugged as I wasn't using it, when I plugged it in just to check if it was working out of curiosity, it began working like normal again!
@@keishrs8 sometimes the plug on the wall does give trouble and cause an appliance not to work.
@@mr.fixit3604 I tried it in another plug in my room, and it was the same..
I have cyclone Lasko and it works only in 2 speed and 3. do not work. I would like to replace capacitor. But where I can buy it?
Hi which store in trinidad can i get the capacitor to buy????
Hi, try electronic store.
I need the collar attachment and I cannot find one. I cannot attach the motor to the pedestal shaft. I can't find that part listed by anyone to purchase it. I have an 1820
check a repair shop.
2004 Lasko
yup its a capasta
I changed the capacitor and it still isn't working
did you check the power cord.
where are you located i want to get mine repaired
I'm sorry but I don't do repair as a full time job. I'm an electrician now full time. just now I'll post up some electrical videos.
Hi i change the capasitor an it still not working i buy a new one an put it in an no power still
You test the cord for any reading. Check the cord and the motor for any reading.
What should I do when my thing doesn’t come off
what thing?
And if the capacitor isnt the probem
Did you run test on all the parts.
