rmcderm313 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Can anyone help me with a replacement for this capacitor? I think the specs say: 130 - 154 micro farads 60Hz But I can't see what the volts AC says. There are no other markings on the unit. Any help would be great.

rmcderm313 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 It's 2 3/4 " tall and 1/7/16 in diameter. I can't find anything to match on all the specs. Thanks, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNW Soaker Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 You just have to make sure the new is rated at or above this one, your tub is probably 220v right? So 140-154 micro farad, 220v (or anything higher). This one can do 330V, 5 bucks. https://www.suppliesdepot.com/buy/product/130-158-MFD-330V-START-CAPACITOR/121536?ID=/Heating-Cooling/Parts-By-Manufacturer/Goodman/Capacitors/dept-263 Looks like these are called "start" capacitors, go figure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNW Soaker Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 I also just looked at your pic and between the capacity and the frequency I see 165VAC, so your original is "130-154 µF 165VAC 60Hz", the cap in the link I posted is fine, or almost anything else that you find that meets or exceeds these specs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome. Thanks for your help @PNW Soaker. It don't see any size specs on that cap you linked. Is there a standard indicated somewhere that I'm missing? I've sent that vendor a question on the size as well. Thanks again! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcderm313 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 The vendor pointed me to this one linked below. He said he doesn't know the size but I looked up the model number I saw in the picture and it looks to be 2" tall and 1 7/16 diameter which should be perfect. A little shorter than the original which will be better because it's a tight squeeze in the motor. Thanks Again @PNW Soaker! https://www.suppliesdepot.com/buy/product/130-156-MFD-165V-START-CAPACITOR/121512?text=130-156+mfd https://www.packardonline.com/products/psmj130/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
