[QUOTE="Marvo, post: 450209, member: 20838"] Blowing the fuse could be a symptom of a failed offloader valve but with fractional horse motors and small single phase motors their internal impedance is relatively high under locked rotor so it might become a lottery whether the cap or the fuse surrenders first.....especially with cheap caps off EBay :) You could always fit a 5 or 10 Amp fuse, that way if the fault reoccurs it might not cost you another capacitor.
