Hello, my name is Steven and I've just come across your forum. Took the chance to register so I might get the chance to further my knowledge.
Quick backstory is I have a ceiling fan that is slower than molasses and I at least know enough that it's most likely a capacitor problem. The fan company says that the problem is an easy fix and that I just need to replace the controller module and it will be right as rain. Trouble is, the electronic module, while user replaceable, is also $100, while the fan itself is just $200. I figured I would try to have a look at it and maybe learn something new.
Which takes me to my current query.
I was hoping I could ask help in identifying this particular component in the photo. It's the one that looks like dumbells? I know the big yellow ones are capacitors and I thought they would be the one needing the replacing, but these ones look a bit dogdy.
Thanks in advance and if I'm barking up the wrong tree, apologies.
