Can you rewind it with new wire? Or maybe some automotive starter rewinder could do it,if it was affordable.

let us know how it turns out... if this is an easy fix, i'll know to watch for these things going for cheap... Mark

Ok pulled the cap and checked it on a capacitance tester, it's BAD. I have removed the burned coil and installed a new one. I have some motor varnish and have brushed and dripped it into all the crevasses as well as I can. It's in the oven as I write. It will probably be a week or so before I can get a new capacitor. Anyone have recommendation about ordering a replacement cap. The original is a Nichicon CE 85 degree C LS(M) additional letters on case

0508 PET. I have to tear this cap apart, if I shake it, it rattles. If there's anything unusual I'll post it. Mike

Double check your diode bridge. With damage like this its surprising there would be any "survivors".

I suspect that what you really need is the service manual, good lick prying a copy out of their hands at this point. You may have to threaten them with a FOIA or a lawsuit get one.

You need to learn how to snip.

Good Luck! Rich

Not if you donn't have a wheel mouse - then, it's a PITA.

You shouldn't have to scroll down to see this - whoever posted the comment should have snipped all but the LAST comment, if that's what he's replying to.

Top-posters are just unenlightened googlies.

Thanks, Rich

We could ask Jan to tinker one up for us. Jan?

Very expensive if it thaws unexpectedly.

Geeze, no page up / page down keys?

Wow, an old dog learns a new trick! Page up, page down keys. There even placed well, at least on my laptop. Thanks, Mike

A pleasure and a treasure to help somebody.

I wish there was a way to get them to snip intelligently, as well.

Thanks, Rich

Coleman Junk ! Toss it in the garbage and get a new one from
