I have an old Craftsman bench grinder that I got at an auction. I need a capacitor and the one on it has no markings. It is a 1hp model 319.19063. Sears Parts direct says that it is no longer available and there is no suggested replacement. HELP, I don't want to junk this, it is a great tool. Thanks, Jim

    My question was meant to get some information, not told where to go to get info. I checked on grangers and everywhere else before I started to pay for an answer. 80 to 290 MFD is a fairly large range, since ratings are generally 10 to 20 MFD on any given capacitor.

This is a "Split-Phase"motor it uses only a run capacitor and a typical capacitance rated MFD rating will be between 80 and 290 MFD, go to www. grainger..com and they will have your part,and even if its an older unit and the model/serial/number is available take it with you & they will have a replacement capacitor available in the correct size/dimension/mfd/etc

Take your grinder to a motor repair shop in your town for a replacement cap. I am sure a motor repair facility can install a cap of the proper value to return your Craftsman Grinder to its original specs. BTW - this grinder is worth repairing ... not like the run of the mill grinders available to the consumer today.

Sears Craftsman bench grinder 152.211620 won't run
I would replace the capacitor anyway as they are cheap. If it is the PCB, there isn't much on it, a transformer, some resistors and a component with a heat sink probably a triac. You could take that to a good electronics engineer and they could test it at component level.

It must be very old, there are no parts at all.

I have a Craftsman bench grinder, model 319.190621. I had to replace the capacitor. Because the original one had been discontinued, I had to go with one that is physically bigger.
That is OK.

My craftsman bench grinder running for 5 min blows the breaker
Feel the power cord when that happens. If the power cord doesn't get pretty warm, and the grinder itself doesn't get awfully hot, then I'd suspect the breaker - they get old and trip too easily.

Switch and capacitor crapped out on 1/2 hp Sears bench grinder
Replacement should be simple. Just do a one for one hookup with the new part, after you unplug it first.
