My coolant pump died today. All points to the run capacitor (there is no start capacitor). The pump vibrates and overheats, but would not run. 10 uF, 220v. The cap is attached to the pump motor by means of a springy bracket. This is a "sealed capacitor" with no exposed terminals. It is not like regular caps with push on terminals. There are no exposed terminals. I can post a picture tomorrow. I could not find such units at mcmaster or digikey. Are there such caps sold anywhere at all? i Ugh. So, the cap is electrically connected to the motor by some contacts that are held together by whatever mounts it mechanically? First, I'd check it with the Ohms scale on a DVM, then charge the cap with the diode test on a DVM and see if it holds charge for any time. It should show low resistance first, then charge up and eventually show a very high resistance on the Ohms scale. If not, it is shot. If you can't find an exact replacement, you may have to solder wires and use a standard cap with QC terminals. Jon |
