    only problem with the video is my capacitor has 3 terminals, not 2, so I"m totaally confused!

      If it for AC, you should have a C terminal, Herm, & Fan. Your capacitor will have a number like 45/5uf. Check between C & Herm will be the higher number (45) and between C & Fan will be the lower number (5).

      @@davidlindgren7605 I believe that kind of capacitor has 2 capacitors in one. Like a starting capacitor with one microfarad setting for starting the motor and a second for running the motor. The ratings should be on the side of the housing.

      @@fridayswithbrandon I think you're right. My capacitor is fine. Turns out the problem was a simple 3 amp fuse on the circuit board that had blown. My advice to others is always check the "stupid stuff" first, like fuses, circuit breakers, etc, before panicking and assuming the world has ended with a blown capacitor or motor failure.
