Capacitor Run

For service buyers searching by part number, 18-1902-61 corresponds to the capacitor run. Replacement is usually considered after inspection confirms wear, damage, electrical failure, or a repeat operating issue tied to this component. Before purchase, compare the machine brand and the removed part markings to avoid ordering a visually similar but incorrect item. Where model references are available, cross-check the service model and revision level because similar machines can use different parts. Supports motor or compressor starting/running when the machine has hard starts, humming, or intermittent startup. Field complaints tied to this part type often include humming and not starting, slow starts, and intermittent startup. A weak or failed capacitor can leave a motor or compressor humming, starting slowly, or failing to start under load. For this capacitor category, the typical repair goal is to restore the function that the failed component was affecting. A good service approach is to verify the exact part number and inspect the surrounding assembly before replacing the component. For capacitor-related repairs, technicians commonly test capacitance value, inspect terminals for heat discoloration, and check for swelling or leakage. Service buyers often keep the removed part on hand during installation to compare terminals, orientation, and mounting points. Once the failed part is confirmed, replacing it with the correct item can restore normal function and prevent ongoing intermittent complaints. For ordering, match the part number exactly and compare the removed component to the replacement before installation. That step matters on commercial ice equipment because similar-looking parts can have different ratings, connectors, or mounting details. If you are troubleshooting symptoms such as not turning on, no power, not cooling, not starting, intermittent operation, error code behavior, or ice not dropping, confirming the failed component first will make this replacement more effective.
