Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

• This part directly replaces any brand of round motor start capacitor with matching specifications.
• Ensure the replacement capacitor has a capacitance range that includes 161-193 uF and a voltage rating of at least 110-125 VAC.

Compatibility & Fitment

• Designed for the start-up circuit of single-phase AC electric motors.
• Commonly used in equipment such as:Pool pumpsWell pumpsAir conditioner compressorsAir compressorsOther fractional horsepower motors
• Compatible with motor systems operating at 110V, 115V, and 125V.

When to Replace

• The motor hums or buzzes but fails to start.
• The motor starts slowly or requires manual help to turn over.
• The circuit breaker trips repeatedly when the motor tries to start.
• The existing capacitor case is visibly bulged, cracked, or leaking fluid.
• A multimeter test shows capacitance outside the rated 161-193 uF range.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect all electrical power to the motor before beginning service.
• Safely discharge the old capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver or a suitable resistor.
• Verify the capacitance (uF/MFD) and voltage (VAC) ratings of the new capacitor match the original part's requirements.
• Note the placement of wires before disconnecting the old unit. As this is a non-polarized capacitor, the terminals are interchangeable.
• Ensure all electrical connections are clean and secure before restoring power.
