DIY Series 81: Repair Rubine Vetta Ceiling Fan

Repair Rubine Vetta Ceiling Fan

Symptoms:

• Fan speeds are not working according to the speed setting via IR remote control; certain fan speeds are working fine but certain fan speeds are too slow. 
• IR remote control is working fine. Suspect most likely due to aging / malfunction capacitors.

2. How to dismantle the IR Sensor Cap and Receiver Cover (Loosen: CCW, Tighten: CW)
3. Unscrew 3 screws to remove Fan Housing, then unscrew 3 screws to remove switch housing.
4. Disconnect the wiring from the white colour connector (5-pin) in order to take down the PCB board.
5. Identify the possible broken parts, removed 4 capacitors (suspected to be broken)
6. Check capacitors using multimeter, 3 out of 4 capacitors are broken.
7. Order new parts, solder on board and connect it back to the ceiling fan.

Tools Required:

• Screwdriver
• Multimeter
• Soldering iron
• Desoldering pump

Costs Involved:

• Capacitor (CBB20, 2.5uF, 300V): USD$0.80 ~ USD$1.50
• Capacitor (CBB20, 3.5uF, 300V): USD$0.80 ~ USD$1.50
• Capacitor (CBB61, 1.0uF, 450V): USD$0.80 ~ USD$1.50
• Capacitor (CBB61, 2.0uF, 450V): USD$0.80 ~ USD$1.50

Additional Notes:

• Same PCB Board used for Rubine Vetta / Picco / Fitto / Primo / Able
• Remote Control Pairing Procedure (if needed)
• Inserts 2 units of AAA battery into the remote control
• Switch ON the ceiling fan (power supply)
• Press the OFF button on the remote control within 30sec after power "Switch ON" and hold for 5sec until you hear a "beep" sound
• Pairing completed
