ALTERNATE METHOD
USING OHMMETER
1.
Unplug the line
cord.
2. Disconnect
the capacitor lead
wires.
3. Short
across
the
terminals
using a
resistor
with
a minimum
resistance
of
1000
ohms to
be
sure
no
charge remains
to damage the
ohmmeter.
4.
Set the
ohmmeter
selector
switch
to
the 10,000
ohm scale
(Rx10K).
5. Connect
the ohmmeter
leads to the
capacitor
terminals
and observe the meter
pointer
low
end.
a. lf
the
pointer
deflects
to the low
end and remains
there,
the capacitor
is shorted
and
must
be
replaced.
b.
lf
there is no
deflection
of the
pointer,
the
capacitor is
open and must
be replaced.
c. lf the
pointer
deflects toward
the
high
end of the
scale
and then slowly returns
toward
the low
end, the
capacitor is
good.
