I have an old cast iron ceiling fan that has a bad "wound wire" type capacitor in it. I would like to replace it with a new CBB61 type capacitor (that I got out of another fan.)

The fan motor has 2 wires that, when connected, run the motor. The capacitor has 5 wires and a diagram:


Orange Wire----| |---6uF------Yellow Wire
|-----|---4.5uF----Purple Wire
Orange Wire----| |---3.75uf---Red Wire

250V. AC 50/60Hz
Max Temp 70 degrees C

Any information on which wires should be connected to the fan wires would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

The wiring you posted, is that from the new capacitor or the old one? Please post both, as well as the make/model of the fan.
