Description
This Motor Start Capacitor is designed for 230V spa and hot tub pump motors. If your pump powers on but only hums without starting, this component may need replacement. Common diagnostic signs include the motor starting when manually spun or when switched to high speed mode, but failing to initiate on low speed.
Important: A faulty capacitor is often a symptom of a larger motor issue rather than the root cause. While replacement may restore operation temporarily, the underlying problem may cause repeated failures within weeks or months.
Select the correct capacitor by matching the specifications stamped on your existing unit and verifying physical dimensions.
