Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • This capacitor serves as a universal replacement for any start capacitor with the same specifications.
  • Ensure the replacement part matches the 161-193 uf/MFD capacitance range and 125 VAC or higher voltage rating.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Suitable for single-phase electric motors requiring a start capacitor.
  • Common applications include:
    • Well pumps
    • HVAC systems
    • Air compressors
    • Central air conditioners
    • Heat pumps
    • Condenser fan motors

When to Replace

  • Motor hums but fails to start or struggles to start.
  • Motor starts slowly.
  • Start-up sequence repeatedly trips the circuit breaker.
  • Visible signs of damage to the existing capacitor, such as bulging, leaking, or cracks.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the unit before servicing.
  • Discharge the old capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver to prevent electric shock.
  • Verify the capacitance (uf/MFD) and voltage (VAC) ratings of the new capacitor match the original part. The voltage rating must be equal to or greater than the original.
  • Note the wire connections before removing the old capacitor to ensure correct installation.

FAQ

Common signs of a failing start capacitor include the motor humming or buzzing without turning, the motor struggling to reach full speed, or the motor failing to start entirely. You may also notice the capacitor casing is bulging, leaking, or shows signs of burning or a burnt electrical smell.
No. It is critical to match the microfarad rating specified by your motor manufacturer. This capacitor is rated for 161-193 uF. Using a capacitor with a significantly different rating can prevent the motor from starting correctly or cause permanent damage to the motor windings.
Capacitors can store a dangerous electrical charge even when the power is disconnected. Before touching the terminals, you must discharge the capacitor by placing an insulated-handle screwdriver across the terminals to short them out. Always verify the power to the equipment is completely shut off before beginning any work.
You will typically need a screwdriver to access the capacitor housing, a pair of insulated needle-nose pliers for removing the wire leads, and an insulated-handle screwdriver for discharging the old unit. Depending on your equipment, you may also need a socket set to remove the mounting bracket.
No, this is a non-polarized AC capacitor. The two terminals are interchangeable, meaning you can connect the existing wire leads to either terminal without affecting the performance of the motor.
The most common causes of failure are age, excessive heat, and frequent cycling. If your pool or well pump is cycling on and off too rapidly, or if the motor is operating in an environment with poor ventilation, the internal components of the capacitor will degrade much faster than normal.
