Single phase appliance motors in fans, pumps and some washing machines rely on a capacitor like this to start and run. It is a universal part, so the key is matching the capacitance, voltage rating and terminal style to the one you are replacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMotor humming but not turning? Check the capacitor\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA motor capacitor gives a single phase motor the extra push it needs to start and helps it run smoothly. When the capacitor weakens or fails, the motor may hum without turning, start only after a nudge, run slowly, overheat or trip its thermal cut-out. In a fan the blades may barely move, and in a pump or washer motor the load may never get going. A bulging, cracked or leaking case is a clear sign of failure, and a capacitance tester will show a reading well under the marked 6.3uF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacitance 6.3uF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8mm mounting stud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric universal replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuits single phase appliance motors that call for 6.3uF\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\u003e6.3uF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMounting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8mm stud\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing a motor capacitor safely\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore anything else, kill the power at the power point or switchboard. Capacitors can hold a charge after power is removed, so discharge the old one before touching the terminals. Photograph the wiring, then swap the wires across one at a time. Check the voltage rating on the new capacitor is equal to or higher than the original. Hard-wired appliances should be handled by a licensed electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use a different uF value?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Use the same capacitance as the original, which for this part is 6.3uF. The wrong value can make a motor run hot, weak or noisy. Match the voltage rating and mounting style too.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44547717005390,"sku":"CAP06.3_G","price":12.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/cap06-3-generic-6-3uf-capacitor-with-8mm-stud","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
