When to Replace Your Capacitor

Capacitors can fail over time due to age, heat, or electrical stress. Replace your capacitor if you notice your compressor won't start, starts slowly, hums but doesn't run, or shuts off unexpectedly. A failed capacitor is one of the most common causes of compressor failure and is an easy, cost-effective repair.

Perfect For

  • Replacing failed or weak capacitors
  • Preventive maintenance on aging compressors
  • Keeping spare parts on hand for quick repairs
  • Restoring compressor performance
  • Professional pond service operations

FAQ

Q: Which capacitor do I need for my compressor?
A: Check your compressor model number. For SRC25, SRC252, SRC50, or SRC502 models, use SRCCAP (1/4 & 1/2 HP). For SRC75 or SRC752 models, use SRC75CAP (3/4 HP).

Q: How do I know if my capacitor has failed?
A: Common signs include the compressor not starting, humming without running, starting slowly, or shutting off unexpectedly. A failed capacitor is often bulged, leaking, or shows visible damage.

Q: Is this difficult to replace?
A: Capacitor replacement requires basic electrical knowledge and safety precautions. Always disconnect power before working on electrical components. If you're not comfortable with electrical repairs, consult a qualified technician.

Q: Are these genuine EasyPro parts?
A: Yes, these are genuine OEM replacement capacitors manufactured by EasyPro specifically for Stratus SRC compressors.

Q: How long do capacitors typically last?
A: Capacitor lifespan varies based on operating conditions, but they typically last 5-10 years. Heat, humidity, and continuous operation can shorten lifespan.

Q: Should I keep a spare capacitor on hand?
A: Yes, especially for critical aeration systems. Having a spare allows for immediate repair if your capacitor fails, preventing extended downtime and potential fish loss.

Q: Can I use the wrong capacitor on my compressor?
A: No, always use the correct capacitor for your compressor model. Using the wrong capacitor can damage the motor or prevent proper operation.

Q: What safety precautions should I take?
A: Always disconnect power before replacing capacitors. Capacitors can store electrical charge even when power is off—discharge the capacitor before handling. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

Q: Will replacing the capacitor fix my compressor?
A: If the capacitor is the problem, yes. However, if the motor or other components are damaged, additional repairs may be needed. A failed capacitor is one of the most common and easiest compressor repairs.
