Hello Group.

I just installed a ceiling fan but the darn thing turns soooooo
sloooooow. I called hunter tech support which is the worst i have
ever seen.
the fan turns very slow on the fastest setting it turns as fast as the
slowest setting should turn about 50rpms. tech support told me that
it could be the reciver for remote. i dont think it is.
i think i may have to take the whole fan down again and check to see
if all the wires are making a good connection. i had a hard time
with the 2 wires that come out of the ceiling and am wondering if
they are connected but just a little loose would that cause the fan
to turn sooooo slooooooow.


Google: Ceiling + fan + slow = 2,740,000 hits. I've reviewed them all and
concluded:

Bad capacitor.

i did that search and came up with the bad capacitor. i hope it is located
in the reciever for the remote because that is what they are sending me.
tech support for hunter suck and the wire diagrams on both the web site and
in the box do not match the wires I have.
so i guess i can leave the wires the way they are and hope this capacitor is
located within the remotes reciever.

thanks to all for their help.

Frank.
