Can you replace a run capacitor with a higher uF?
Can you replace a run capacitor with a higher uF?
Yes, you can replace a capacitor with one of a slightly higher uF, but try to stay as close as possible to the original number and don’t go lower. Replacing a capacitor is sometimes referred to as “recapping a circuit board,” and it’s important to match the new capacitor up to the old one.
Are run and start capacitors interchangeable?
Are start and run capacitors interchangeable? Yes and no. In unusual circumstances, a run capacitor could be used as a start capacitor, but the values available are much lower than the values usually available for dedicated start capacitors.
Is there a difference between start and run capacitors?
The start capacitor creates a current to voltage lag in the separate start windings of the motor. The current builds up slowly, and the armature has an opportunity to begin rotating with the field of current. A run capacitor uses the charge in the dielectric to boost the current which provides power to the motor.
Can a run capacitor be used in place of a start capacitor?
The capacitance and voltage ratings would have to match the original start capacitor specification. A start capacitor can never be used as a run capacitor, because it cannot not handle current continuously.
Can I use a 50v capacitor instead of an 25v?
Yes. Just don’t go below 25v. The 4.7uF is an “exact” value, whereas the 25v is a maximum rating. Probably yes: Ideally you should replace the capacitor with one of the same nominal capacitance and an equal or greater maximum voltage rating.
What kind of capacitor does a GE refrigerator use?
Refrigerator run capacitor 12 uF. If this run capacitor is defective, the refrigerator will not run. Looking for GE Capacitor Parts parts? RepairClinic.com has the appliance parts, lawn equipment parts and heating/cooling parts you need!

What are the capacitors on an air compressor?
In an air compressor, there are usually one or two capacitors attached to the electric motor. Usually, there is a start and a run capacitor. The start capacitor provides energy to “jump start” the motor, while the run capacitor releases energy to allow the motor to keep running.
How can I tell which capacitor kit I Need?
To determine which capacitor kit is needed, look on label (under read shroud) for motor supplier.
