Hi there, My room ceiling fan speed has drop. It is about three months old. What could be the reason can it be the starting capacitor? If any member can suggest and give and idea. I do not want to send it to a repair shop, I am doing nothing and staying at home. Thanks, Tbiess.

change its capacitor to 2.5 farad

If it's three months old it's probably under warranty. If you refuse to or have a reason you can't then wait for other suggestions. I would add I don't think the problem is the starting capacitor (if it even has one), the fan starts. It would be the run capacitor in that case.

rakeshgnit, The capacitor which is in the fan is 2.25 mfd, I will replace a 2.5 farad and see how the performance. Thanks for the advice let you know the result. Tbiess.

LTX71CM, There is only one capacitor one terminal connected to common and the other terminal connected to starting winding. There is no run capacitor any suggestions, Thanks for trying to help. Tbiess.
