Donald Mezzapella Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Just acquired this Westinghouse. The fan will run on all three speeds,but needs a nudge to start. It will also start in either direction. The line cord was changed by a "professional " as can be identified by yellow tape. Please help with diagram, Thanks Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Koh Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Donald, it sounds to me the capacitor likely failed. It's located under the switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Mezzapella Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 What values are capacitors, and what type? Tried film cap and fan hummed,but still had to nudge to start. Will still turn in either direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
