00:00So your ceiling fan hums but won't spin, or your range hood suddenly lost all its power 9 times out
00:05of 10, it's not the motor, it's a $5 capacitor that gave up.
00:09I've been down this rabbit hole more times than I'd like to admit, and today I've rounded up the 5
00:14best CBB61 start capacitors you can actually buy right now without getting ripped off at the hardware store.
00:20Let's get into it.
00:22First up is the 5-piece CBB61 starting capacitor set rated at 450V, and this one's my go-to for
00:29a reason.
00:30You get 5 capacitors in a single order, and the listing covers pretty much every value you'd ever need, 1
00:36microfarad, 1.5, 2, 3, all the way up to 20.
00:40At $4.36 for the pack, you're paying under a dollar apiece.
00:46With nearly 4800 sold and a solid 4.8 rating, this is the one I'd grab if you've got a
00:51couple of fans in the house and you'd rather fix them all at once than order twice.
00:55Next is this CBB61 fan starting capacitor, and honestly, the standout here is the sheer range of values 0.8
01:02microfarad all the way up to 25, and it works with 400 and 500 volt applications too, not just 450.
01:10That flexibility matters a lot if you're fixing a range hood, because those things use some oddly specific values that
01:16nobody stocks locally.
01:18At $3.22, it's the cheapest entry on this list, and with a 4.8 rating across almost 4800 orders,
01:25the quality clearly holds up.
01:28Coming in third, we've got this CBB61 450 volt AC capacitor, and this is the straightforward, no-nonsense pick.
01:35It sticks to the most common values 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10 microfarad,
01:43which covers the vast majority of ceiling fans and exhaust fans out there.
01:48$3.15 makes it the lowest price of the bunch.
01:51The rating sits at 4.7, slightly under the others, but with over 4,700 sold, that's still a very
01:58safe bet for a simple, common repair.
02:01Fourth on the list, and this one actually has the best rating of the entire lineup, a 4.9.
02:07That's genuinely hard to hit on a component like this.
02:10It focuses on the lower capacitance range, from 0.8 microfarad up to 5, which is exactly where most ceiling
02:17fan speed capacitors live.
02:20$3.30
02:22If your fan's issue is that it only runs on high, or only on low, this is the range you
02:27need, and that near-perfect rating tells you people are getting reliable parts, not duds.
02:32And rounding things out, the 20-piece bulk pack.
02:36$10.93 sounds like more upfront, but do the math, that's around 55 cents per capacitor, easily the best value
02:43per unit on this whole list.
02:45This one's for you if you're a maintenance tech, a landlord with a bunch of units, or you just like
02:50having spares in the drawer so you're never making an emergency parts run.
02:544.8 rating, over 4,500 sold, same 450-volt spec, just a lot more of them.
03:00All five of these are linked down in the description, so go grab whichever one matches your fan.
03:06If this saved you from buying a whole new motor, do me a favor and hit that like button, and

03:13Thanks for watching.
