Step 6 · Replace Faulty Components

Based on your diagnosis, if a component like the capacitor, a pull chain switch, or the light kit is found to be faulty, carefully disconnect the old component and install the new one. Ensure all wire connections are made correctly and securely. For capacitors, match the microfarad rating and voltage. For switches, ensure the correct type (e.g., number of speeds) is used. Reassemble any covers or housing that were removed.
