delta 46-700 motor

Might take it to electric motor shop and let them tell you what’s wrong! If just the capacitor they can you the right one for that motor.

Parts diagram doesn’t show a capacitor, so it’s kind of hard to cross reference :) (edit: see below)

But it’s easy enough to test just to make sure that is it. All you need is a multimeter (in resistance mode). It could also be the centrifugal switch, which would be the next thing to check if the capacitor is good. Noise could also indicate bearings. However, given the unknown nature of their condition or history, they should be replaced anyway – even if you think they are good. Cheap insurance.

Edit: According to this thread, My Delta Midi loses power , it’s a 30uf capacitor.

Cheers,

mine is not the midi, I saw that thread and the dimensions he gave for his cap were way off, I ended up just taking it to a repair shop so it can be gone thru and fixed right.

Some motors have a start capacitor and a run capacitor. Sounds like a start capacitor.Steve.
