    Dishwasher has Badcaps!

    Dishwasher has capsistor also, when I fix the leak of the input hose (pic 2) I found it has A motor start cap. at 23.5uf/250v (Parts No.W10334457)

    Maytag PORTABLE DISHWASHER MODELS: MDC4809PAW1


    Some single-phase AC electric motors require a "run capacitor" to energize the second-phase winding (auxiliary coil) to create a rotating magnetic field while the motor is running.

    A motor capacitor, such as a start capacitor or run capacitor (including a dual run capacitor) is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single phase AC induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field.

    Do you know how many AC motor in your house?

      Hurray! they went back to using a start capacitor?
      Maytag dishwashers I've fixed use a "starting relay", cheaper than a start capacitor.

      Under high current motor load, the relay pulls in and connects the (wash or drain) start winding until motor current backs off.
      Anyhow, the relay gets sticky or contacts fail.

      A real bear to troubleshoot- if it's the motor or the starting relay or mechanical friction causing the motor to not startup.

          It is the same basic that creates Earth poles , a rotating magnetic field in the Earth's core . The equivalent capacitor in Earth's core could be like in the high atmosphere's levels , approximately 1 Farad ...

              Yes I bought this, Maytag Dishwasher, 3 years ago. when I junk some appliance I saw that (starting relay) I misunderstand it as A current limiter.

                  Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition
                  by MORETTIGIAN
                  Title:
                  Capacitor detached from PCB – RTX 2070 Super Founders Edition

                  Description:
                  During maintenance on an RTX 2070 SUPER Founders Edition, I found a capacitor lying on my desk after reassembly.
                  I did not notice it detaching, so I am unsure of its original location on the PCB.

                  Procedure performed:
                  - Removed backplate
                  - Cleaned heatsink and PCB with isopropyl alcohol + soft ESD brush
                  - Reapplied thermal compound
                  - Reassembled card

                  Observed behavior after reassembly:
                  - GPU powers on and operates normally under...

                  RTX 3080 FE Identifying capacitor
                  by Prolog
                  Hi people, I hope this is the correct spot to post this, I'm new to the forum.

                  I have an RTX 3080 Founders Edition which has a burnt up capacitor (it was in parallel with another capacitor which appears damaged too), so I am hoping to be able to identify the capacitor values and order replacements.

                  I hope these photos make it clear which component I am referring to:
                  (yes, the soldering is a bit botched from removing the blown one, I know)

                  I have found the board schematic (attached), but there does not seem to be a boardview available. I have never...

                  Motor run capacitor physical size vs voltage rating & measurements?
                  by Per Hansson
                  (TL;DR skip the first paragraph)
                  I encountered my first dead motor run capacitor at a customer this week.
                  For some fields I guess it is a very common occurrence but the usual way for industrial machines here is to use 3-phase motors.
                  (Unless a servo motor makes more sense that is).
                  But for some reason this 3-phase machine uses a 1-phase motor for its liquid coolant pump.
                  The pump would run but sometimes trip the 10A breaker.
                  I monitored it starting and stopping for over an hour until it finally stopped in a specific spot between its windings:
                  Then it could...

                  Dick Smith Q-1760 linear power supply filter capacitor question
                  by Agent24
                  I have acquired a used Dick Smith Q-1760 power supply - although the OEM is Manson Industrial
                  It has at least one problem.

                  The voltage control potentiometer VR2, 50K is faulty - going high resistance / open circuit in the CCW end and leading to the output voltage jumping around.
                  I have already ordered a replacement potentiometer, so that's not an issue.

                  Now, I want to replace all three electrolytics on the PCB as they are CapXon and I don't trust them so much, I will replace them with something better while I've got the thing apart anyway.
                  All are CapXon...

                  If I replace with inferior capacitor, Is it No harm to other IC components at all?
                  by chth96
                  I replaced some capacitor which is located on optical pickup pcb which is shown in the table below(PCB #2).Because it have been out of order.
                  Now,It works very well,But I just have found that all caps (6svpc100my and other part number as well) ,which is shown in the table below, has ultra-high ripple current spec.
                  It is not able to obtain any capacitor which can be a substitute for this ultra-high ripple current nichicon capacitor.
                  So I replaced it with samxon and rubycon's general capacitor(GP,YXA series).
                  I know that these capacitor will not last as long as nichicon capacitor...
