  • Motors or compressors won’t run properly? This video demonstrates how to discharge and test a capacitor. The capacitor is a commonly replaced part for a motor or compressor that won’t start. Capacitors are commonly found on furnaces, air conditioning units, refrigerators, and washing machines.

    The air compressor motor would only hum, not run, so I suspected the 17 year old run/start capacitors. Tested the capacitors according to the video, and both were good, then noticed the capacitor switch had a broken support on one side - glued the switch into place, and now the compressor starts and runs like before. Yay! Cheap and easy fix that I would not have found when I thought the capacitors were bad.

    Should a cap continue to read ohms and go to infinity over and over? I have two Im testing on our shop air compressor. All 3 read capacitance correctly but two of them quit reading ohms after a few times of switching leads. The compressor motor is not starting under a load.
