[QUOTE="roys, post: 450035, member: 5044"] My mate has an air compressor 240V so has a 200uf start and 30uf run capacitor on it. The compressor had sat for a couple of years in unused as my mate had said it died on him. I had a look at it last year tidied up the electrics on it, fitted a new starter, tested the motor changed the capacitors and it ran well. Last month he called me back to it "just humming on start up" changed start capacitor all good again. This morning exactly the same, so I am about to order another start capacitor, am I just ordering rubbish capacitors or can vibration be an issue? as there is a fair bit of vibes from it when it runs, thinking it can't be doing the capacitors any good, I could mount the capacitors on the wall behind. Anyone had this problem before? [/QUOTE]
