Capacitor
CAUTION
Disconnect Power Source before checking.
IMPORTANT
Discharge capacitor by touching the two
terminals with the blade of an insulated
handle screwdriver.
1. Set ohmmeter to R x 1,000, adjust to 0.
2. Disconnect leads on capacitor.
3. Attach ohmmeter leads to each terminal.
Needle should swing to right and drift slowly
to left. To double check, switch ohmmeter
leads and repeat procedure.
If the needle will not move or moves toward
0 and stays there, the capacitor is bad.
4. If a digital meter is used, readings should
start low and rapidly increase to
maximum value.
