Ya. Tried. All other no. 1-4. All not working. Like no electricity supply

buy new set, go home and change the regulator first, test the speed first, if still the same then change the fan too.

you can also try to change the fan capacitor first if it give you problem spinning. thumbup.gif

Panasonic still got, saw at Giant before. The topkek part is the blade is exposed, looks so cincai they cut the box and polystyrene in half, so only the regulator, motor wrapped properly, the blade is not fully wrapped. I believe it's originally a combo of 2, but cut in half to sell 1 by 1.

Else, Sharp can be found at Aeon Big.

Does your fan has remote control? If it has, you have to remove the old regulator.

The capacitor at the fan is the problem. Try to remove the top and change the capacitor. It is a small black box (smaller than a matchbox). If you can, remove it and buy a new one and replace it.

This is the solution

maybe regulator problem.
5 [max] level is direct
1/2/3/4 goes thru a stepdown circuit which reduces the electrical power [speed]

there are 2 types of regulator.
1. wire coils - very very old type. check for broken wire.
2. capacitors - series in connection. any one spoilt all won't work

Normally. the defect is more to specific range of capacitance value. Hence, no. 5 may still be able to run. Yes, please make sure everything is off before touching it.
