I have a 2hp Dayton (Grainger) model# 6K393N that has a missing
capacitor, I pulled the covers to check them, and one side, the longer
cover was empty, just the 2 wires. I'm hoping someone has one with
that model # that would be kind enough to look to see what value the
missing cap should be. There have to be 1000's of those out there, I
got it in a deal a while back, & hadn't tried to use it till the other
day, it didn't take long to find the problem, but now to find out what
cap it takes.....

Hi,
Google is your friend. Run capacitor is 5 MFD, 370V AC rating.

Hi,
Both caps are missing? Google shows all kinds info about that motor.

I spent quite a bit of time googleing before resorting to begging for
help, can you tell me where you found it. The other cap is there, it
is a 16mfd

Grainger which distributes Dayton brand motors sells parts for many of the
things in their inventory. I would try giving them a call.

Sounds like the 5 mfd. is the run capacitor and the 16 may be for
'Power Correction Factor'?
As Tony Hwang mentions there should be info via Google.

I would expect the 16 mfd cap is a start capacitor.

Run capacitors are always in the circuit (start caps only while
starting) so they are more substantial - don't use a 'start' capacitor.

Hi,
Do a search for starting capacitor Dayton 6K393 motor.
And send an email to a parts supplier when you come up with one.
www.eurtonelectric.com is the one to try. They sell caps for all kinds
motor. I did a search using capacitor dayton 3K693 motor.

Hi,
Yes, start cap is much bigger in value as a general rule.

Well, duh! That's the first thing *I* would have done. What's up with
the Googling, emailing, etc? Just call their toll-free number. They can
find all kinds of stuff for you (especially since it's actually one of
their products).
