Fan Capacitor

I just about lost my mind the other day as the fan stopped running, stunk like burning plastic, all in the middle of the bed build. I began to run the finances through my head of another fan which made me even angrier. I then started doing the math of fan lifespans. 5 years at 8 hours a day came out to somewhere around 15,000 hours. In my research I found that the Motor Capacitor can go leaving the fan motionless. I opened up the fan guts and this is what I found.

I found a replacement at Dan's Fan city!!! WOOHOO! 

12 Bucks beats buying a new fan any day.
