How to replace capacitor on kenmore a/c 25372175200

Check your capacitor. If it is swollen, it needs to be replaced with high quality german or USA made capacitors. Take the circuit board to an electronic shop and ask them to replace the capacitors. I paid $25 including the 2 german made capacitors C311 and C312.

how do you know it is the capacitor need more info for this

Your system works with a capacitor and contactor-relay to start the compressor. If you replace the contactor-relay that should solve your problem, if the compressor is okay.

All you have to do is look thru the front air ducts
on any window unit or remove the front cover

All the info is on a label in plain site

First replace fan capacitor and try, if not, bearings worn out in your fan motor. Replace bearings or motor with new capacitor.

Loud hum is usually due to faulty hv diod, resonance capacitor, or the magnatrone feed thru capacitor , chk it with a ohm meter , one by one n replace it .. zaheer Islamabad

I have the same problem with mine. It is almost certainly the motor start capacitor. I have been looking for a replacement capacitor from an outside source, but so far have had no luck. The capacitor used is an obscure size and model. I have found the manufacturer of the capacitor, but no electronic suppliers carry this brand. It is almost certainly going to be a Sears replacement part item.

A capacitor is measure in uF or mF(Faraday) you need a capacitor tester.But the most common problems with Kenmore compressors are the relay ,you can replace both relay and cap.if you know how to do it and will cost no more than $40,if still won't statr , the compressor is bad.

Shut the power off to the unit, spin the fan blade to see if it spins freely. If it doesn't spin freely, (there appears to be a little drag when you spin it),the bearings are bad, if it does spin freely, then try moving the motor shaft from side to side if there’s any play in the shaft side to side then the bearings are worn and motor needs replaced. Then, check the capacitor, if it’s bulging even slightly, the capacitor is bad and needs replaced. Most of the time people replace the capacitor if motor seems ok. If capacitor is ok, turn power on to see if the motor is getting the proper voltage, if it is and not trying to run, then the windings are probably open, the motor's bad and needs replaced.

try with branded capacitor
