I took both capicators to a shop today and he tested them with a capicatance meter and he said they were both Ok... It did not test it under heat conditions...and I don't know if the meter puts a load on them. So, I purchased a new start capicator anyways since there were just $5.00
Installed the new start capicator and the same thing is happening. The motor is not kicking into high gear with no belt load
I tested it first thing this morning and it was working fine when it was cold with the old start capicator--full speed with no belt load.
Am I SOL? Its definetly heat dependent. He said it could either be the switch or its the windings on the motor. I don't see how the switch could be heat sensitive. So is the motor gone?
