Don't think it is a good idea to test any electronic components while it s still connected to the appliance / circuit. You may get false readings coming from other components. I think it should be disconnected first in a way so that it could be tested in isolation to the rest of components.

Very good video Easy and simple test Straight to the point Well done

thank you!

Does it matter whixh lead goes on which side of the capacitor when testing?

Thanks for your teachings.

You have to disconnect the capacitor before mesuring it

un solder one of the wire at the cap and retest. so you don't get a reading from within the motor windings.

any readings from within the motor should be too small to pick up with the multimeter and/or only like 0.1uf difference between connected/disconnected to the motor. though I can see how this can be confusing.

I believe that unsoldering on end of a component is necessary when testing it's resistance/ohmmage

thanks I think i have the same issue with my extractor .... these caps go so fast .

It's ridiculous how things are cheap. Then you want to replace that cheap part which costs like $30 with shipping. You end up buying a new fan. SCAM.

Should you have the capacitor removed from the circuit before you test it?

Yes... the correct way to do it is to isolate the capacitor before testing.

Thanyou this is helpful I'm going to get a fluke multimeter on Amazon and I'm SUBSCRIBING

Can you send me link to buy new capacitor

Can i just bypass to direct,i mean i wont use capacitor, what the side effects ? Speed slow? Coz uf dont flow?

Depending on the motor, it may not start, or may run slowly or very inefficiently, and possibly burn out the motor from stress. These motors were engineered to run whatever they're doing with the capacitor they came with.

tnx

Any idea what model of fan that is? I have one that I believe to be similar/same, but can't find markings on mine.

Do we need to replace it with same configuration? Or we can replace it with higher voltage or capacitance?

I do not have an answer. I did not even replace mine as the part was more than half the cost of the complete kit. If you try, please leave a comment about outcome.

That looks like Energy Reduction Systems. It’s working now, right?

Mine was dead and I looked for replacement. They were charging too much money for it, plus shipping. I decided to just replace the whole thing.

Can it work if I would cut the two wires and wire it together instead of that black capacitor?

No, it won't work. Without the capacitor, it can't develop enough torque to start the fan.

Did you buy a new capacitor and test if it works or not?
