Anthony,

You might check to see if there is a Johnstone Supply Co. in your area. They stock a couple that would work for you. They are 17.5 Mfd at 370 volts or 20 mfd at 370 volts. The higher voltage is a GOOD thing as they don't fail as often. You can also check this link. They sell a 2 pack for under $15. Not sure about the shipping though.

Hope this helps,

Joe

Joe.

Thank you for the link. I bought the two pack 20MFD370volt. They are en-rout to me as we speak. Must say the company you recommended was very helpful, polite and quick and was a pleasure doing business with them.

When they arrive I will install them and If I need help I will post. Either way I will post with the result.

Thanks    Anthony.

Ok. So now I have my capacitors delivered to me now my question is I have a red and a yellow wire leading from my old capacitor what wire goes where? Can I get this configuration wrong? If you need pictures please let me know.

Many Thanks    Anthony…

tinkerer:
There should be a small bead of solder on top next to the "identified" terminal, line voltage lead will go to that terminal. It has been a long time for me, so verify my info with someone more up to date. On second thought, the identified terminal is connected to the run terminal on the motor. Connecting it backwards can cause gases to build up and failure. of course, if the capacitor is in the start winding circuit, the same applies. Incorrectly and voltage can stay applied to the winding even when stopped.

Being an AC capacitor it makes no difference which wire goes where.
