Ceiling fan runs slow on highest setting

It looks like that fan motor may use three or four caps.

The box with the five wires, Will most likely have 3 or 4 caps in it.

It may have the rating printed on the side.

The larger the value the faster the speed.

This may help, Just for reference; http://www.eceilingfans.com/capacitors_-_ceiling_fans.html

Could probably find them cheaper elsewhere.

There are two wall switches in this room. One of them is a lighted switch so that you can see it in the dark when the switch is in the off position.

You could have it wired in series with something else and still get 120 volts to it. It would really be stretching our credulity to have had more than one fan with the same assembly problem, and you get all of them.
