I have a 230vac single phase coolant pump motor that has crapped out. The motor will run if I give it a spin to start it. So, I presume it is a capacitor problem. (I am electronically challenged)
The motor is a 1/8hp Taiwanese gem. I pulled the capacitor and carried it to several electrical supply houses. They looked at it as if they had never seen one before and immediately told me that they didn't have one and didn't know where I could find one.
It is@ 7/8" in diameter and @1.5" long. Printed on it is 15uF, 230W.V.AC., Shihlin Electric, 68102 and MP CON (The "O" is questionable).
Can anyone tell me what this is and what I might replace it with. It doesn't have to be the same size and shape. I just need the motor to run.
Thanks
Randy
