i think next time it goes out, i'm going to be brave enough to do it myself.
now's the time to order your capacitor replacement to keep on hand.

Just be careful not to shock yourself

I watched a guy do mine last week. It was very easy for me.

I don't know how but I could probably YouTube it and get it done.

When it comes to electrical, except for breakers and real basic wiring shift I stay clear, and when it comes to something as critical as my A/C in South Louisiana, I leave that to the professionals. I don’t care what it costs.

I can change the batteries in my tv remote so probably so

don't capacitors hold on to a charge for a while? i think i'll pass on this one.

You can’t disconnect and re-connect four spade connectors?

Very simple. You should always have a spare capacitor and and a spare switch. Both can be had for about $20. Two of the most common problems that you can DIY and save $$.

Call me when yours goes out, I’ll change it for $1000.

I’m more of a flux capacitor kinda guy myself.
Posted on 6/17/21 at 11:04 am to Chad504boy
just make sure you discharge it before removal

the discharging of the current scares me.

I have mine maintained yearly by a good friend of mine. It usually costs me a couple of beers

Pretty easy and quick to do, and you can save a ton of money doing it yourself.
A million YouTube videos out there explaining the process.

It is like changing a battery in a kids toy, instead of just snapping of the cover it is screwed on... If you don't touch the posts at the same time, no zappy zappy.

Well I’ll do it for a fencepost of Miller Lite.

If you piss on it first, the salinity in your urine will de-energize the capacitor.

Make sure that any of you baws that use this technique film it so the rest of us know how to do it correctly.
