I replaced the capacitor on Friday, it helped some but not the silver bullet I had hoped. The lights in certain part of the house blink/dim when it comes on albeit much less than before.
It is a shallow well 120v pump. The capacitor I removed did not look swollen or bad. It was strange because it was plastic. the one that replaced it looked more traditional. The circuit that it is on is within 10 ft of my fuse panel. I am at a crossroads of what to look at next. It is working as it should otherwise so it is tempting just to live with it. I am open to all ideas at this point.
I have lived here almost 28 years and this is my second pump I have replaced. This one is maybe seven years old. Not sure of their service life but I got 8-9 years out of the first one I replaced. Thanks, MG
