I have before, but that WAS an unusual circumstance.mas985 said:But if anyone has actually measured a residual voltage across a capacitor when the motor is off, I would be interested to hear about it as it would be very unusual if not impossible.
Good call on that, I was thinking that motor had a slotted end for a screwdriver.mas985 said:Also, with that motor, you should be able to get to the keyed shaft with an open ended wrench without removing the capacitor.

Thanks to all who contributed to this thread. I would not have had the confidence nor the information needed to do this on my own without this forum. This, IMHO, is what forums are all about. Saved $ by doing it myself and got it done, correctly, in a day.
Thanks again,
John
