Hello all I have a creda 37760 tumble dryer I'm trying to seek a replacement capacitor the size is 7.5 with three spade terminals I've seen four spade replacements online which state universal can these be used

Post pictures of the cap and PCB and post PCB model number

Update capacitor

The two terminals (red wires) are the same connection, the other single terminal has one wire, the replacement cap just has 4 spade lugs, two on each side so one would not have a wire connected to it.

So basically a four spade will be no good

So basically a four spade will be no good

Explain why it won't work, are you sure it is bad? It does NOT look like a dual start/run capacitor, it is only a single 7.5µ capacitor
New caps have either 2 or 4 terminals or just a pair of wires.

Hello

The cap is, definitely at, fault, The tumble dryer works after one manual spin on the drum, the motor is clearly getting no charge.

I can, get either a two spade or four spade connector capacitor, obviously by the photo I supplied it has three wires going into a three point capacitor.

So if I fit a four spade version is this going to work and will the spare terminal be ok unused.

It is a single capacitor; it has two connections, they just put 2 spade connectors on each connection, here I will draw you a picture.
Each side of the capacitor basically has one of these so you CAN connect two wires, but you don't have to, you can only connect one wire if that is all that is required, just make sure you connect the two red wires that are on the same side on the old cap to the same side on the new cap.
If you used a 2 blade cap, you would need to splice the 2 red wires together, which would be unnecessary, get the 4 blade and ignore the extra connection.

Ah, So basically in the photo them two, are on the connector above,

The connector does this just push on to the capacitor spade

Can I reuse the old double connector

[R_J]

THERE IS NO DOUBLE CONNECTOR, THE WIRES/SPADE CONNECTORS JUST UNPLUG FROM THE CAPACITOR AND PLUG ONTO THE NEW CAPACITOR, THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE 4 CONNECTIONS ON THE NEW CAPACITOR AND ONE IS LEFT UNUSED
I can see you have never worked with spade connectors or these types of capacitors, but it can't be simpler

here is a video of someone changing a similar capacitor BUT NOTE his only has 2 wires, on your capacitor with 3 wires, the two red wires connect to the same side of the capacitor DO NOT MIX THEM UP WITH THAT SINGLE (DUST COVERED) WIRE
