All this 3n1 "hard-start kit" did was replace those two things Maybe it's a "bigger" capacitor? http://i.cubeupload.com/8YQ1wK.jp There's no mention on the package of how big the cap is, but physically, the combination unit is far beefier than the OEM unit. So I dunno... http://i.cubeupload.com/VD0haS.jpg Do you think it could be as simple as the compressor just needed a "beefier" cap? Why would it need a beefier cap? A more-capacitance cap would have a lower impedance and allow more current to flow. More current in a motor means more torque. There is still the possibility that the original cap is defective. That the parts-place check did not measure capacitance, or if it did, it wrongly concluded that the capacitance that it measured was the needed value. |
