No need to buy exact part. Search Ebay for "motor run capacitor" in the 60 to 70 uf/ mfd range with voltage of 220 or higher(higher voltage equals better quality but usually larger). These are usually metal or light color plastic (black plastic caps are motor start). You will need to be creative in placing the cap because it will probably not fit where the old one was. Good luck

Diagram for hooking compressor to compacitor on Maytag 6000 btu air conditioner

If you have a dual capacitor, which has 3 posts, C - goes to Run on the compressor. Herm goes to start on the compressor. If you have a single capacitor Run from the compressor goes to the terminal on the capacitor that has a wire coming from one side of the contactor. The start wire goes to the other terminal on the capacitor without another wire attached to it.

Air compressor on Heil air conditioner is humming but not kicking in

Capacitor Failure Symptoms are sometime harder to identify without the right tools and expertise. Capacitors can be found in several different sizes and shapes. There may be one or multiple capacitors included in your ac with regards to the design. While the most popular capacitors are the types found on circuit boards, the ones most associated with air conditioning will be the bigger capacitors that assist start and run your motors. There are several motors present in an conditioner and heater systems:
  1. Compressor Motor Run Capacitor: Here is the most popular capacitor that fails. Most of the time these are duel capacitors, which means that there are 2 capacitors built into one. A duel capacitor will have three terminals on the top where a single capacitor will simply have two terminals on top.
  2. Outside Fan Motor Run Capacitor: That is the smaller capacitor found with or part of the Compressor Motor Capacitor. It helps start and run the outside fan that blows air through the outside coils.
  3. Indoor Blower Motor Run Capacitor: Similar to the outdoor fan motor capacitor, it is a small, single (two terminals) capacitor that will help start and run the indoor blower motor.
  4. Start Capacitor: Some models include an auxiliary start capacitor that helps jump start the motors. Most are found on the compressor. These are less common.

You may need to get that checked out.

Have a Porter Cable 175 PSI, 25 gallon upright compressor. When you flip the switch, the motor buzzes, but does not start the compressor. The cylinders are free when hand turning. After a couple of...

On these larger compressors, the motor that turns the compressor,

will have one or two capacitors, the capacitor in conjunction with the

motor gives the compressor that extra push or torque that is required

to get it going. if the capacitor goes out, the compressor will not work,

the motor may work but will not have the strength to turn over the compressor..

depending on the size motor, it may be mounted on top, on the side or

even in a juntion box attached to the compressor, if you have to replace one

i recommend powering down or unplugging compressor and handle the

capacitor carefully, use insulated tools or gloves, a capacitor is like a battery

it will hold a charge, but like a battery it can be discharged, the only difference

with a battery and a capacitor, on a capacitor you can have thousands of volts.

it can be replaced just handle it safely, good luck!

My ac central air is blowing air but not cold

Problem #1:Outdoor condensing fan motor has stopped running. This problem could be caused by a bad motor run capacitor. If your motor capacitor is not the problem, then more than likely you need a new motor. Is the fan blade tight, stiff or hard to turn? If the fan blade is hard to turn then you probably need a new motor. Problem #2: Air conditioner compressor will not start. When power is applied to the air conditioning outdoor unit the fan starts, but you hear a sound like the compressor is trying to start, "UGGG"..., for about 5 to 10 seconds and then all you hear is the outdoor condenser fan run. The compressor is locked and will not start. What is happening is the compressor is trying to start, but because the compressor motor is locked it tries to start for a few seconds and then because of the high amperage being drawn goes off on internal overload. The internal overload protects the compressor windings from overheating and burning up. I see this many times during the start of the air conditioning season. Some compressors just have a hard time starting after sitting all winter long. Some compressors are locked up so bad that I can not start them and must tell my customer that they need a new compressor . Many times I can get the compressor started again without having to buy a new compressor or new air conditioning system by using the device known as a "Super-Boost." I keep two or three of these on the truck. They have saved many of my customers from having to buy new air conditioning compressor. Another good device is called a "5-2-1" kit.

After air compressor reach the max. pressure it starts losing air and now there is fluid in the gages. and when it tries to refill it shuts off

You may need to replace a leaking pressure-safety-valve. You may also need to drain water from the compressor tank (which should be a regular procedure). If the motor is a capacitor start type, the capacitor may have dried out and need replacement. If the capacitor becomes weak, the starting torque of the motor is reduced. If the motor just hums without starting, it builds up heat rapidly and a thermal shutoff switch removes power to the motor until it cools off. Hope this helps!

Compresser tries to kick on but wont

You have a bad start capacitor and the three prong device san be replaced by buying on line or going to a RV dealer and buying the three prong compressor start switch, it pulls out has three holes in it the shape of a triangle if it has a bad start capacitor you can buy one that will replace it without taking out the old capacitor. If you want a web site where they sell these post on this answer and I will send you the address of the parts store that sells them.
