Fan Model: 820 AL-G

Series: 52DS5

Black 3 wire capacitor: 1 white wire goes to motor wiring harness clip, 1
white wire goes to forward/reverse switch, 1 red wire goes to motor wiring
harness clip

White 5 wire transformer inside of metal housing: 1 white wire crimped
with two white wires (1 for auxillary light kit I believe and the 2nd
crimps with white wire from capacitor at forward/reverse switch) 1 orange
wire goes to motor wiring harness clip, 1 pink wire and 1 grey wire go to
fan speed control module (pull chain).

The fan will not turn when powered on but is getting power. Sometimes i am
able to "jump start"it by spinning the blades and then turning on the
power. I always leave the fan on highest speed.

The capacitor has no sign of blistering which I understand is a tell tale
sign it is going bad

Unable to really see all of the transformer.

This fan was built in or prior to 1996 I believe and I have been told the
transformer is no longer available. If so is it possible a different style
capacitor is available that replaces the original capacitor and
transformer?

cieling fans arent expensive, just replace the entire fan.

quick, easy and cheaper , since the fan motor might be bad...
