Default More questions about checking starting caps

I will still
need to check the caps if the contactor is working properly.
Eric


If the cap tests shorted with DVM it is obviously bad.

If the caps test good with DVM it may be good or it may be bad under load.

Best test is to buy a cap that is close to the required value to use as a test.

If it works, buy the right cap and be happy you had an inexpensive repair of an expensive machine.
