Quick overview
- 189/227 MFD The capacitance range stamped on the can, at 125 volts AC.
- Start duty, not run duty A start capacitor works only during the first moment of startup, and it is a different part from a run capacitor.
- Sized 1-7/16 x 2-3/4 inches Measure the old can before ordering, since capacitors are as much about fitting the housing as matching the rating.
- Century part 610807-007 The factory replacement capacitor.
- Common failure point A motor that hums but will not spin up is usually the start capacitor rather than the motor itself.
- Cheapest fix on the pad Replacing the capacitor costs a fraction of replacing the motor, so it is always worth ruling out first.

Product details
Century 610807-007 is a motor start capacitor rated 189/227 MFD at 125 volts AC, in a can measuring 1-7/16 inches by 2-3/4 inches.
What a start capacitor does
Single phase motors cannot start turning on their own. The start capacitor gives the motor the phase shift it needs to break away from a standstill, then drops out of the circuit almost immediately. Because it lives a hard and brief electrical life on every start, it is one of the first components on a pool pump motor to fail.
Before you order
Match two things: the rating printed on the old can and its physical size, since the replacement has to fit under the same cover. Kill the power at the breaker before opening the motor, and treat a removed capacitor as still charged until you have discharged it.
