But wouldn’t that stop it turning on at all? At the moment it’s still turning itself on about once a day, but not enough. That’s why I thought the capacitor might be the problem. I wondered whether it was struggling to charge, which meant the condenser couldn’t be kick-started as often as needed.

Thanks Dave. Is it worth continuing with the home investigations, or have we reached the point where it’s going to be uneconomic to fix it?
