Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • Replaces any brand of round start capacitor with matching capacitance and voltage specifications.
  • Common type designation: CD60

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Designed for single-phase 110-125V AC electric motors.
  • Suitable for use in HVAC units, air conditioners, compressors, pumps, and other motor-driven equipment.
  • Universal fit for applications requiring a capacitor with the specified 233-280 uF range.

When to Replace

  • Motor fails to start or hums without turning.
  • Motor starts slowly or struggles to reach full speed.
  • Unit short cycles (turns on and off frequently).
  • Visible damage to the existing capacitor, such as bulging, leaking, or burn marks.
  • Capacitor tests outside of its rated capacitance range with a multimeter.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the unit before performing any service.
  • Safely discharge the existing capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver.
  • Verify that the voltage and capacitance ratings of the new capacitor match the original part.
  • Note terminal connections before removing the old capacitor. This is a non-polarized capacitor; wire leads can be connected to either terminal.
  • Ensure all electrical connections are clean and secure.
  • Mount the new capacitor in the original bracket or a secure location.

FAQ

Common symptoms of a failing start capacitor include the motor humming or buzzing without turning, the motor struggling to reach full speed, or the equipment failing to start entirely. You may also notice the capacitor case is bulging, leaking, or showing signs of burn marks.
This is a universal CD60 style motor start capacitor designed for single-phase motors requiring a 233-280 uF rating at 110-125 VAC. It is commonly used in pool pumps, well pumps, HVAC compressors, and various industrial motor applications. Always verify the microfarad (uF) and voltage ratings on your existing capacitor before replacing.
A start capacitor provides the high torque needed to get a motor spinning from a standstill and is designed to be in the circuit only for a few seconds. A run capacitor is designed for continuous duty while the motor is operating. This unit is specifically a start capacitor and should not be used as a permanent run capacitor.
Installation typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will need a screwdriver to access the motor housing and a pair of needle-nose pliers to disconnect the spade terminals. Always ensure the power is disconnected and discharge the old capacitor safely before handling, as it may hold an electrical charge.
Yes. Always disconnect the power supply to the pump or motor before beginning. Because capacitors store energy, use an insulated screwdriver to short across the terminals of the old capacitor to discharge any remaining voltage before removing the wires.
