Hi All

I have an acquaintance who is trying to repair a Bosch pressure washer.

The faulty component appears to be a capacitor rated at 25uF. Not sure if
it's a start or run capacitor. Maplins stock the same make but only in
20uF or 30uF.

Can either of these be used instead - and which one?

TIA


Probably - yes as all these devices have a wide tolerance. To be on the
safe side I'd use 20uF in parallel with a 5 or 4.7uF.

Do make sure you use the correct type!

and voltage rating.
