Default can bad cap = hot motor?
In article ,
says...
Yeah, I'm betting that the cap is as old as the motor. I'll take your
advice and replace it. I don't understand how the current can be
different if there are only two wires feeding the motor. What am I
missing?
Thanks,
Eric



Not likely, but if one of the windings is shorted to ground or the
capacitor is leaking to ground the current could be different.
