[QUOTE="aviator41, post: 2400661, member: 30309"] This particular unit uses a start/run capacitor and won't operate at all with the capacitor bypassed. I did manage to get it spinning, but the capacitor is so shot it can't keep the motor going. I know that capacitor doesn't actually keep the motor running, but it helps maintain the magnetic fields in the coils to keep the fan going. The fan is free spinning without the power shut off, so I think the motor is okay. The capacitor is apparently a service capacitor that has a number of tabs on the top of it, allowing the capacitor to be used in several different size units. Apparently the service tech was supposed to come back out and put a standard cap back in place, but never did. I still think this is yet another victim of the power problems I'm having. [/QUOTE]
