{"product_id":"cap014-generic-run-capacitor-14uf","title":"CAP014 Generic 14uF Motor Run Capacitor Universal Appliance Part for Single Phase Motors","description":"\u003cp\u003eCAP014 is a generic 14uF run capacitor for single phase motors, a universal part rather than a branded one. Run capacitors stay in circuit while the motor is running to keep it turning smoothly and efficiently, and they turn up in washing machines, pumps, fans and air conditioning equipment. Match the uF value first, then compare the voltage marking, body size and terminals with the photo before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns a run capacitor has failed\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA motor with a weak or open run capacitor often hums but won't start, starts only with a push, runs slowly or hot, or trips the circuit. Fans may spin lazily, pumps may struggle to build flow and washing machines may stall or turn one way only. Swollen, cracked or oily capacitor cases are clear warnings, but a failed capacitor can look perfect. A capacitance tester confirms it. Always replace with the same uF value, as the wrong value affects motor speed and temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric universal run capacitor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14uF capacitance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor single phase motor run circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStock code CAP014\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\u003e14uF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRun capacitor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChanging a capacitor safely\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIsolate power at the wall or switchboard first. Capacitors can hold a dangerous charge, so discharge the old one with a suitable resistor before touching its terminals. Label the wires before disconnecting them and secure the new capacitor in the original bracket. Work on hard-wired equipment such as air conditioners must be done by a licensed electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I fit a 14uF capacitor if my old one was a different value?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Match the uF value of the original. A higher or lower capacitance changes how the motor performs and can shorten its life. The voltage rating should be the same as the original or higher, never lower.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44550395494478,"sku":"CAP014_G","price":35.16,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/cap014-generic-run-capacitor-14uf","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
