Universal Capacitor With Flylead Wire 16uF / 16 MFD 450 VAC

Universal Capacitor With Flylead Cable Connector

This replacement capacitor stores an electrical charge to facilitate motor startup. If you notice your motor emitting a buzzing or humming noise or experiencing difficulty starting, it's likely time to replace the motor run capacitor. The good news is that these capacitors are readily replaceable in most modern appliances and motors.

This product is exclusively designed for boost start of induction motors and is not compatible with carbon brush motors.

Motor run capacitors find widespread use in various contemporary electrical motors, such as those found in washing machines, microwaves, tumble dryers, shower pumps, jet wash machines, heating pumps, and more.

To check if your capacitor is faulty without specialised electrical testing equipment, you can perform a visual inspection. A defective capacitor often exhibits bulging or may even burst open, although sometimes it may show no signs of distortion.

The most accurate method of assessment is to invest in an inexpensive capacitor tester and evaluate the capacitor itself. For instance, if the capacitor is rated at 16uF, the reading should be within plus or minus 5% of the stated uF rating on the capacitor.

If the reading deviates significantly from this range, it indicates wear or imminent failure, signaling that it's time to purchase a replacement.
