Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • This is a universal replacement for any round start capacitor with a 189-227 MFD capacitance range and a voltage rating of at least 125V.
  • Compatible with parts from brands including BMI, TEMCo, and Titan that match these specifications.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Designed for intermittent duty in AC single-phase motor starting circuits.
  • Suitable for applications such as HVAC units, air compressors, well pumps, refrigeration systems, and other electric motors requiring a start capacitor.
  • Verify that the µF (MFD) range, voltage rating, and physical dimensions match the original capacitor.

When to Replace

  • Motor hums but struggles or fails to start.
  • Starting cycle is slow or delayed.
  • Repeated tripping of circuit breakers upon motor startup.
  • Visible signs of damage such as swelling, cracks, or fluid leakage from the capacitor case.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before beginning work.
  • Safely discharge the old capacitor by shorting its terminals with a resistor or an insulated-handle screwdriver.
  • Note the wire connections before removing the original part.
  • The replacement capacitor's voltage rating must be equal to or greater than the original's rating. Never use a lower voltage rating.

FAQ

If your motor hums but fails to reach full speed, or if it trips the breaker immediately upon starting, the capacitor is likely failing. Other signs include the motor failing to start entirely or a burning smell coming from the motor housing.
This capacitor is designed for single-phase motors requiring a 189-227 uF (MFD) rating at 125 VAC. It is a universal-style round start capacitor suitable for various HVAC, compressor, pump, and general electric motor applications. Always verify the uF/MFD and voltage ratings on your existing capacitor before replacing.
No. You must match the uF (microfarad) rating specified on your motor's data plate or the original capacitor. Using a capacitor with a significantly different rating can prevent the motor from starting correctly or cause permanent damage to the motor windings.
Replacing a start capacitor is generally straightforward and typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will need a screwdriver to access the capacitor housing and a pair of needle-nose pliers to disconnect the terminals. Ensure the power is disconnected and the capacitor is fully discharged before touching the terminals to avoid electrical shock.
If the capacitor shows signs of bulging, leaking, or a burnt top, it has failed. Before installing the new part, inspect the wiring connections for corrosion or signs of overheating. If the motor still fails to start after installing a new capacitor, the issue may lie with the centrifugal switch inside the motor.
Yes, this unit serves as a replacement for standard CD60 style capacitors and is a direct substitute for BMI part number 092A189B125AC1A.
