Fan runs too slow even at 4 speed

My ceiling fan is 10 years old. It runs like a 2 even at 4 speed. Only at 5 speed, it runs at high speed. 

I think this is capacitor issue. Does it make sense to get a new capacitor or get a new fan, or any other solution?

At 5 It Runs At High Speed Then Its Regulator Problem. If Its Capacitor Problem Fan Won't Run Maximum High Speed At 5 , Happened This Problem With Havells Fan.

Things to try, from top option to bottom:

1) Change capacitor

2) Change Regular

3) Get fan serviced,

It could be get the fan ball bearing issue, dried grease. Need Greased / Lubricated the fan internal.

===================
Maybe it's just time to consider buying a BLDC fan now.


BLDC fans are lot more energy efficient.  50% or more

Whole cost of new fan can be recovered in next few years in electric bill saving.

BLDC Fans  run lot cool, gives cool air. That's especially  important in summer


Because Normal ( Induction motor)  fans waste lots of  electrical energy as heat. ( compared to BLDC)



" 2. BLDC motor has a longer life span as they do not get heated because of the magnetic fields around the fan, not in the center of the fan. A standard fan gets overheated."

Also: fan does not work on 1 speed. Only on 2 onwards. But If i switch on at 2 and then turn knowb to 1, then it works on 1 speed also.
