When to Replace

• Motor hums but does not start or struggles to start
• Fan or compressor does not engage
• Visible damage to the existing capacitor, such as a bulging top or fluid leakage
• Capacitance measurement is outside the ±5% tolerance range

Installation Tips

• Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before servicing.
• Safely discharge the existing capacitor by shorting the terminals with a properly insulated tool.
• Confirm the capacitance (uF/MFD) and voltage rating of the new capacitor match the original part's requirements.
• Note the wiring configuration before removing the old capacitor.
• Ensure the new capacitor is securely mounted and all terminal connections are tight.
