Re: Toshiba kitchen food processor (model: TFP 1500) Capacitor value ?

Further investigation shows:
- A mechanical safety switch has a fault. Temporarily got it working and the motor runs
- the cap aluminium body was held by a bracket on the motor casing which I assume provided the grounding.
- All as predicted by [I]momaka [/I]& [I]stj [/I]
- Wima could not identify the cap markings

I haven't sourced a replacement cap yet, or the X and Y replacements, but that will come in the next few weeks.

Thanks very much all,...

I get the machine today, so will investigate wiring, space and motor further.
Thanks all.

Re: Toshiba kitchen food processor (model: TFP 1500) Capacitor value ?

When the machine was disassembled the paper from inside the cap was distributed around the interior space. I only saw 2 wires connected to the cap - the one in the photo and another on the other cap of same or similar diameter.

Where would the ground wire go?
Thanks for your help,

I am repairing an old Toshiba kitchen food processor (model: TFP 1500) with a blown paper wound capacitor. The electric motor is not working so I guess this is a starting capacitor.

Can anyone interpret the markings, or alternatively suggest a value to try as a replacement?

The can is about 30mm long and 12mm diameter. It is marked;
FKC.1+.003x2
240VAC 9625

Thanks for any help
Mike
PS I have tried Toshiba but not found the right people yet....

Hello,
I'm a mechanical eng but can follow directions in electronics. I have joined primarily to ask for advice on capacitor size because I help in a repair cafe.
