Capacitor failures can be an early indication of a problem elsewhere such as an issue with your start switch, low voltage, or a load that's more than the motor can take. Learn why single phase AC induction motors need start and run capacitors, learn capacitor failure symptoms and failure types, reading voltage and microfarad (MFD) capacities for your capacitor to buy a replacement,
And if you want to see a capacitor blow up and let out the magic smoke, hang out until the end of the video.
eMotors sells over 200 different types of capacitors for electric motors. Find your capacitor here:

Steps to replace a run or start capacitor:
1. Cut power from the circuit
2. Locate and discharge the capacitor safely
3. Double check capacitor ratings match
4. Remove old capacitor and install new one
5. Resume power and test the motor
