Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • This capacitor replaces any start capacitor with matching capacitance (161-193 MFD) and voltage (125 VAC) ratings. The voltage rating must be equal to or greater than the original capacitor.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Designed for single-phase AC motor start-up applications.
  • Compatible with 110V and 220V motors.
  • Commonly used in:
    • Well pumps
    • Pool pumps (including Hayward Super Pump and Max Flo 0.75, 1.0, 1.5 HP models)
    • HVAC systems
    • Central air conditioners
    • Heat pumps
    • Condenser fan motors
    • Compressors

When to Replace

  • Motor hums but does not start or turn.
  • Motor requires manual assistance to start.
  • Breaker trips repeatedly during motor startup.
  • Capacitor case is visibly swollen, bulging, or leaking fluid.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the unit before servicing.
  • Safely discharge the existing capacitor to avoid electrical shock.
  • Verify that the new capacitor's MFD and voltage ratings match the component being replaced.
  • Note the wire placement on the old capacitor before disconnecting.
  • Ensure a secure connection to the terminals.

FAQ

If your motor hums but fails to reach full speed, trips the thermal overload, or simply refuses to start, the capacitor is likely failing. Other signs include a bulging or leaking capacitor casing, or a burning smell coming from the motor housing.
Yes, this CD60 capacitor is suitable for a wide range of single-phase AC motor applications, including air compressors, pressure washers, washing machines, generators, fans, and refrigerators that require a 161-193 uF start rating at 125 VAC.
Always ensure the power is disconnected and the old capacitor is fully discharged using a resistor or an insulated screwdriver across the terminals. Verify that the MFD (microfarad) rating and voltage requirements of your motor match the 161-193 uF and 125 VAC specifications of this unit. Using a capacitor with an incorrect MFD rating can cause the motor to overheat or fail to start.
Installation is generally straightforward and typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will need a screwdriver to access the motor control box and potentially a pair of needle-nose pliers to disconnect and reconnect the spade terminals. Ensure the wires are securely attached to the new terminals before powering the unit back on.
Start capacitors are designed for intermittent duty to provide the initial torque required to get a motor spinning. Failure is often caused by excessive heat, frequent rapid cycling of the motor, or simply reaching the end of the component's operational lifespan. If your motor is struggling to start, replacing the capacitor is the most common and cost-effective first step.
