    Turn the power off on the fan, rotate (spin) the blades in either direction and then with the blades spinning turn the power back on.

    If the blades spin up to the high speed with the motor running than most likely you either have a bad fan motor or you did not replace the correct cap.

    How old is the fan? It might be simpler to just replace the unit.
