If he installed the 50~ to get the fan going, chances are the fan is bad. I speculate that he more than likely didn't have a new fan motor so he went w/a 50~ instead of the OEM. This will work to some extent but, as you can see it won't last long and you run the risk of burning up the fan circuit. Always replace the capacitor when changing out the motor and use the rated capacitor per the motor nameplate.
