i have noticed that my outdoor unit already has a capacitor for starting it so is this item will be redundant ? or it will help

If you have a true start relay with a start capacitor(and it is working) yes it would be redundant. Most of the newer condenser units(which have mainly scroll compressors) do not have start capacitors only a run capacitor.

The motor comes with the required capacitor to use with the motor. There may be an existing capacitor that is being shared by both the old motor and the compressor. If this is the case you would still need the old capacitor to run the compressor, but not the new motor as it has it own capacitor.

If there are two, replace the start CAP with this one. Be sure that it is truly a start capacitor for the compressor and not the fan.

First of all the is three different ways you need to test start and run capacitors. 1) is its capacitance and that is what this meter will do, 2) you need to check internal resistance and we use a ESR meter for that, 3) the next thing is voltage rating test , and leakage. and you need a real device to put load on it, Air conditioner and Compressors need good run and start caps, they are expensive do to there voltage and heat rating, if you are doing this for a job, you need a Capacitor tester and a ESR Meter. If just for one or two jobs Capacitor tester, and after they item has been running for 10 minutes, take a temperature reading of the cap, if it is getting warm, then it has internal resistance. Use safety when dealing with capacitors and always discharge them before testing. this is a item you need professional training on, for me I deal with them every day so I know what to look for. On a bad Start cap you will get a lug type of a start or hard start when bad or not in circuit. With a bad run cap you will get excessive amperage and over heat windings. So use a amp gauge also when testing the device.

Mine starts really easy I bought the additional electric start for it and there is nothing easier.... I really recommend the electric start adapter

Yes, assuming your old capacitor is still good. From the new motor: White would go to the "C" common, Brown capacitor wire would go to "Fan", black would go to power contact just like old motor. Put tape on the brown with white stripe. Note: We always include the required two prong capacitor, just in case the old one is bad. Barry

Yes, I had to replace my original one that burnt out...do to my stupidity...I had left the electric switch on the water heater tank to "on" after I had winterized the RV. So when I started to De-winterize I absent mindedly plugged in the RV without turning the water heater switch to "off". Although this element is shorter than the original it works the same. You will need to purchase a special sized tool to remove the element. I purchased a couple more elements, just in case my stupidity returns?!?

As previously stated, as long as the mounting points match, you should be good to go. I had to widen one of the mounting holes as this motor was slightly off, but that was it. When I bought mine, I also got a new start capacitor which I highly recommend. This one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004019SWG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1) worked perfectly.The wires controlling the rotational direction of the fan use quick connects so they are easy to swap if you need to change direction. I connected mine on the outside of the fan guard so I didn't have to disassemble my A/C unit to switch the direction.

The capacitor only goes between the amplifier and the battery in case something happens to the amplifier, it keeps it from messing up your battery. The remote hook up should be on your amplifier.

It could but there are a lot of things to consider. If it will even fit is a good start and if it will is it the same voltage or higher. Also the actual capacitance is important is must be the same or greater. Some capacitors have a positive and negative and if yours does the new one needs to match. The new capacitor also needs to have the same amperage rating or higher. If you can find all of that information and it matches up you are OK to use it.

his part is both the start relay and the overload. The start relay boosts the compressor, and then shuts off as soon as the motor gets up to speed and the overload provides extra protection against excessive temperatures. The capacitor helps the compressor kick on and off while maintaining a constant temperature to keep things frozen in your freezer. http://www.partselect.com/PS2069268-Whirlpool-67005560-Overload-Relay-with-Start-Capacitor.htm

It worked just fine for me. I plugged it into a known electrical source and hit quick start and it started after the second push of the button.

I would be checking with Westinghouse, since it looks like capacitor could be bad from their website FAQ.Just surprising the capacitor would go bad on first day use.On speed #2 and 3 it rotates very slowly ,May be 3 rotations per 3 secs.

Probably YES. It sounds like a defective item. Mine starts up whenever the power is turned on (the car is turned on) without any switch pushing or whatever.

Have not had this problem....but guess I would plug it in...starter will not work if it is discharged.

Hi Henry, were the wires on the old capacitor color coded, if so look at the diagram on both capacitor and the wires to determine, if they follow the same circuit, if they both follow the same circuit then you can go ahead and connect the wires. If you are not sure, please consult an electrician.

Pimple is right , this one also has a option to change the direction.One thing to note is to make sure you have a dual run capacitor , if not you need to buy another one , I know one or more reviews says you need an extra one but if you have a dual run cap already it's possible to wire it to it , you just have to terminate one of the wires.
