Product details

This is a Century replacement motor capacitor rated 161-193 MFD at 110-125 VAC. The listing title states 125V and the product record gives the working range as 110 to 125 VAC.

Part numbers

The source record is not tidy here. It lists 11914 and 15769623 as manufacturer part numbers and records BC161 as a substitute part number. All three refer to this capacitor, but the safe way to buy one is to read the capacitance and voltage printed on the capacitor you are taking out and match those.

When a capacitor is the fault

A motor that hums without turning, or that only comes up to speed after a push, is usually asking for a capacitor. They fail gradually and then completely, and they are far cheaper than the motor they sit on.

Safety

Capacitors store a charge after the power is switched off. Kill the breaker and discharge the capacitor before handling the terminals.

Questions and answers

What people ask about this product, answered by our pool techs.

What rating is this capacitor?
161-193 MFD at 110-125 VAC. The listing title gives the voltage as 125V and the product record gives the range as 110 to 125 VAC.
Why does it show more than one part number?
The source record carries 11914 and 15769623 as manufacturer part numbers and BC161 as a substitute. They all point at the same capacitor, but check the rating printed on the one you are removing before you order.
Will it fit my motor?
Go by the rating stamped on the capacitor you are replacing. A capacitor is matched by capacitance and voltage, not by the motor name.
How do I know the capacitor is the problem?
A motor that hums but will not start, or that starts only after a nudge, is the classic sign. Capacitors hold a charge after power is off, so discharge it before touching the terminals.
