Penguin – thanks for the help. The machine is now washing stuff again!!

I know that makes sense — but me being a bit of a lemon, I need to confirm what I understand with you so I don’t blow this nice new capacitor through the kitchen wall.

A B

_ _
C D

I have checked the continuity between the poles, and A & C are connected. B & D are connected.

I assume then that A & B are separate poles?

Does it matter which is +ive and -ive as they are not marked?

Thanks again.

Looking forward to plugging this monster in!!

I now have a nice new capacitor – thanks.

Just one more quick question please. The connections on the capacitor look like this from the top.

Which ones do I connect the 2 wires to that currently are on the existing one please?

There are no markings on the new capacitor.

Thanks

Re: Hotpoint Aquarius dc22w – will not wash

great pictures – could happen to anyone I suppose.

My capacitor visually looks okay – no shrapnel, blobs, bangs, holes or smoke.

Is it just a matter of changing it over for a new one?

Re: Hotpoint Aquarius dc22w – will not wash

can I test the capacitor before I buy one from your link?

I do believe what you are saying – and whats more it makes sense!!

Re: Hotpoint Aquarius dc22w – will not wash

will that make the motor get hot around the windings and back of motor?

Can I test the motor in any way?

Thanks

Re: Hotpoint Aquarius 1200 leaking water

Thanks for the swift reply.

The model number is 9936. It is a washer dryer

You will know, I am sure, that the hose internal hose to that location is open ended. I was surprised that it split.

It does sit on the back panel and has a black cover over it.

There is a 3 way valve where the water enters the machine, and where the internal hose goes from.

It only seems to have water through it when it becomes the ‘dryer’

Thanks again
Chris
