I replaced the capacitor, the stove is running fine.

Is it worth replacing the two snap discs?
I don't remember there being any markings on the capacitor, probably a "trade secret". But then again I don't pay much attention to them when I'm installing them.tjnamtiw said:What are the marking on that capacitor?????

there is no rating marked on the Capacitor. 250MMF is stenciled on it, which could be 250 mega mega farads? or just a supplier part number. For what its worth, my local dealer said he rarely changes them. Unlucky random failure.

the quadrafire OEM kit was $12 from my local dealer. I think its good to have a spare.SmokeyTheBear said:A starting capacitor with 250MMF in its value range is under $18, all of these drift in value over time and temperature, they also become leaky. This is one area where you stay away from new old stock.

I dont think its a starting Cap either, its to bias the winding/fields to have the motor turn only clockwise.slls said:SmokeyTheBear said:A starting capacitor with 250MMF in its value range is under $18, all of these drift in value over time and temperature, they also become leaky.

The Quad cap, is a small none starting cap.
