CAPACITOR RUN

Part 18-1902-64 is described as a capacitor run, a service replacement item for equipment maintenance. Replacement is usually considered after inspection confirms wear, damage, electrical failure, or a repeat operating issue tied to this component. Always verify the brand family and machine series used on the service call so the replacement matches correctly. If your machine has multiple production revisions, confirm the exact model and serial details before finalizing the order. Supports motor or compressor starting/running when the machine has hard starts, humming, or intermittent startup. When this component fails, technicians may see issues such as slow starts, intermittent startup, and weak motor start. 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. Capacitor diagnosis typically includes measuring capacitance, looking for bulging or leakage, and checking the connected motor/compressor current draw. Service buyers often keep the removed part on hand during installation to compare terminals, orientation, and mounting points. Installing the correct replacement part can resolve the targeted fault path and helps bring the machine back to stable operation when the diagnosis is accurate. 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.
