Jet 1442 Problem
I have the above woodturning lathe and it's been acting strangely all of a
sudden. The complete sequence of events. - Lathe runs fine in the garage/shop, although not much time put on it. (bought it new) - All of a sudden, every time I try to turn it on, it trips the GFI it's plugged into - I use an extension cord to plug it into a non-gfi, and it works fine, for a (very) little while - Now, when i turn it on, (it's a capacitor start/capacitor run motor), it doesn't kick over from the start capacitor to the run capacitor which is usually accompanied by a definite "click" and a smoother run after it kicks over. questions: Is this what happens when a capacitor (the start) goes bad? Or is there something in the kickover that can/has gone bad? The motor has very little run time, this seems very odd to have happened already. would the bad/going bad capacitor cause the gfi to trip every time? Any help would be appreciated. Joe |
