It helps the motor start and keeps it running at the right speed. Models aren't recorded for this part, so check that the capacitance and voltage printed on your old capacitor read 6uF and 450V before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRangehood motor humming but not spinning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single phase motor needs a capacitor to give it a push in the right direction and keep the windings working together. When the capacitor weakens or fails, the motor may hum without turning, start only after you spin the fan by hand, run slowly on every speed, or get hot and cut out. A capacitor that has bulged, cracked or leaked is finished. Capacitors are a cheap and common fix for these faults, but if the motor shaft is tight or the windings are burnt, the motor itself needs replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine part ATCAP02\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacitance 6uF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated 450V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlen Dimplex parts range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCapacitance\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6uF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e450V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSwapping the capacitor safely\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsolate the rangehood at the switchboard, as many are hard wired, and have a licensed electrician do the work in that case. Capacitors can hold a charge, so discharge the old one safely before handling it. Photograph the wiring, fit the new capacitor in the same position and secure it so it can't vibrate against the housing. Test each fan speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I fit a capacitor with a different rating?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStick with 6uF, as a different capacitance changes how the motor starts and runs. A higher voltage rating than 450V is generally acceptable, but never fit a lower one. Check the markings on your old capacitor before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glen Dimplex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551044071502,"sku":"ATCAP02","price":35.3,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/atcap02-genuine-glen-dimplex-capacitor-6uf-450v.jpg?v=1792026321","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/atcap02-genuine-glen-dimplex-capacitor-6uf-450v","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
