Is It The Capacitor?

How to Spot a Capacitor Failure

Before you agree to replace the motor or compressor, check these signs:
1

The "Humming" Sound

You hear the outdoor unit try to start ("Hummmm") and then click off.

2

Fan Needs a Push

The fan doesn't spin, but if you push it with a stick, it starts spinning. (Classic Capacitor failure).

3

Slow Speed

The fan is spinning but very slowly, like a ceiling fan on Speed 1.

4

Warm Air

The fan is running, but the compressor isn't kicking in.

Reviving Old Compressors

Is your old AC struggling to start in the afternoon heat?

The Problem: The compressor is getting "tight" due to age.

The Fix: We install a Hard Start Kit (a booster capacitor). It gives an extra "Kick" of voltage to jump-start the compressor, extending its life by another 1-2 years.

Electrical Fault FAQs

What does the Capacitor do?
It gives the “Kick Start” to your compressor and fan. If it’s weak, your AC will hum but won’t start cooling.
It’s a cheap fix! Between ₹650 and ₹950 depending on the power (35 MFD to 60 MFD).
This indicates a Short Circuit in the wiring, a burnt terminal, or a seized compressor. Do not force restart it. Call us.
Yes, we replace burnt thimbles/lugs and use heat-shrink sleeves to insulate the wires properly.
Your voltage is exceeding the safe limit (e.g., >250V). The stabilizer is doing its job protecting your AC. Wait for voltage to normalize.
Yes, loose connections cause heat. We replace melted 16A plugs and sockets with heavy-duty Anchor/Havells parts.
Yes, for larger 2-Ton units or cassette ACs, the Contactor often fails. We replace it.
If your old compressor struggles to start, we install a Hard Start Kit (Capacitor + Relay) to give it an extra power boost and extend its life.
Capacitors hold high voltage even when power is off. You can get a severe shock. Let a pro handle it.
Yes, motor replacement is done at your home in 60 minutes. Rewinding requires taking it to the workshop (24 hours).
