my fan which was rotating at high speed suddenly stopped and reversed its direction of rotation. There was no power failure. The speed is lesser in the reversed direction. What might have caused it to reverse the rotation?

From Philippines: My stand fan “STANDARD” Model: NSC-16 size:405mm Input:65W 220Vac 60Hz.. Switches 1,2, & 3 has the same speed. Can I apply these “CEILING FAN CAPACITOR SOLUTIONS”? If yes, the wirings are sw1=White, sw2=Black, sw3=Red & switch supply is Brown. To capacitor are White & Blue.. If I can apply that solution, what is the right wiring or color code..THANKS>>>

I have a 1986 ceiling fan. I need to know how to wire the fan switch to run off of the chain switch. Also it only has 1 capacitor with 1 red and 1 white wire. I also need to know how to wire it. My fan is an E77191 Model DF-42. It does not have a brand name. Was in the house when we bought it and we replaced it with matching fans for the bedroom.Could you please help me with the diagrams or where I might find them?

You did an incredible job of explaining and showing visually, what is going on when your Fan starts smoking! And, how to correct it.

EXCELLENT!

No, I wasn’t kidding, I meant that statement (wrote it a long time ago, barely remember it) of no training in a formal, academic sense. Thank you for lifting my spirits, Bleach!

Are you kidding? For someone unschooled in electronics,you are doing pretty good. I am trained in electronics and your examination and presentation blew me away! Your material can not be too far from engineering grade in terms of thoroughness. Thamks!
