Pool Pump Capacitor Test and Repair

If your pool pump stops, it might not be the pump motor. Chances are it is a Pool Pump Capacitor. This video will show how to test and install a new capacitor for a pool pump. This information may also apply to other AC pumps and motors that use a capacitor.

WHOA!  THIS GUY SAYS IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAPACITOR HAS A DIFFERENT RATING , HE'S FULL OF SHT. CAPS HAVE TO BE +-10%. PUT IN THE WRONG SIZE BURN UP THE MOTOR. USE EXACT CAPACITOR!

This video saved me lots of money (not sure what a pool pump repair person would charge). Thank you sir for posting it. I looked at the cost of a new pump on-line and it was over $350, the capacitor I purchased was $10.81. Clerk at the store said the microfarad rating was plus or minus 10 microfarads. Also, bring the old capacitor and cover to compare and verify it will fit on the pump in the cover.

Sounds like the rear end bell is going as the bearing is spinning in the race making the noise being heard.
