NEW RUN CAP SHOULD FIX IT UP
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.
Might try a Heating and AC shop, that reminds me of a blower part. The mfd and Voltage are the critical part.Try this “15 mfd 230vac capacitor” search on the net…Dave.
15 uF is actually rather large for a run cap on a 1/8 hp motor. I agree that motors that small usually have a only a run cap, though.The last clue is the small size of the capacitor 15uF is rather small, most starting capacitors are 100uF or more.
There is no centrifugal switch in this motor.
