Hi all,

I'm trying to fix my pedastool oscillating fan, it fails to spin anymore.

Its a honeywell type fan and is receiving power, it bleeps as its turned on with a button not fanny spinny!

I've located a capacitor as below , but don't know what 40/85/21 mean on the image , i suspect the capacitor to be the culprit and would like to replace it.

I've found a similar rated 1uf - 450v capacitor, but the numbers don't match exactly:

20/070/21 instead of 40/85/21

What do those numbers mean and are they important? What is the best way to discharge said capacitor before I replace, turning the device on and waiting a while?
 
Amazing thanks guys!

I don't think i'll be using my fan in -40c haha so have ordered the one above. Here's to hoping it solves the issue, might be posting back in here otherwise for next steps! :D
