Hello EEVblogers, Need some Help, I bought this fan way way back in the late 90's and it was a trusty die hard companion until recently. Fast forward to last summer, the fan has rusted a good bit and look ugly so I decided to take it apart and was going to have the fan's chrome cage powder coated black, which was a simple tear down, and take the parts off to the powder co vendor. Fast forward, get the coated parts back and reassemble the fan, low and behold I lost all of the tear down pics I took for wiring reference and since their were just a few combos I winged it, well that was a bad decision
, it was wired wrong and came on for a micro second and died after that. So, I have narrowed it down to two things; a bad capacitor which I ordered a replacement of the same value and tested to no luck or an
internal thermal fuse on the windings of the motor? Submitted for your review, see the attached pic(s), trying to confirm this is in fact the thermal fuse AND, how do I get a replacement since I cannot make out any numbers?
Any help appreciated
