Hi All
Daughters pedestal fan got knocked over by a drunken loony (my daughter) and now doesn't work. Seems completely electrically dead, like the fuse has gone, but is hasn't.
I've taken it apart and using my high tech battery/bulb/bit of wire test equipment all the connections from fuse via switch to motor are OK.
All seems to stop at a small back box about 1" x 3/4" x 1/4" with two wires coming out.
It's marked; CBB61
1.5yF +- 5% 400v-DB-CThe 'y' is in mirror image - I think this means Micro Fahrad.
Google search comes up with CBB61 -Polypropylene Pellicle Capacitor and the Wenling Zeguo Dali Electronic Element Factory.
Is this likely to be the culprit? Is this something I can buy for a few quid?
I searched Maplins site and the variety further addled my tiny brain.
