Just sharing my experience. When I bought an apartment 9 years ago, ceiling fans that I bought, all KDK, the remote type. The most used ones (Living Room & Master Bedroom) slowed down on 8th year. Change the capacitor (hire 3rd party to do), both fans run fast again. Still good for another few years i think.

QUOTE(abhipraaya @ Mar 15 2024, 10:38 AM) I changed the capacitor for my fan once, bought the caps and soldered. I'm not a pro, so it took me a long time to unsolder the old caps and redo. total cost below RM20. Worth my time ? Nope. https://ishakbaikikipas.com/Do you have the contact for the 3rd party to do it and how much he charged you? Replacement PCB for Alpha costs around RM120 4 years back. If someone can change the caps for 1/2 the price I might just ask someone to do it.  You can whatsapp the number and follow the instructions once the staff replied and set appointment for them to come over to your house. They charged me RM90 per fan. I recall the duration to repair around 15-20 mins per fan At first I thought of replacing the fans altogether but when I saw such service, triggered me to give it a try. At the end, RM90/fan is not bad at all. Fans got back up to speed. abhipraaya liked this post
