THE BLOWER MOTOR CAPACITOR
TESTING
1. Set the ohmmeter to the
R x 10K
scale.
2. Measure across the capacitor ter-
minals.
The ohmmeter should indicate
several ohms, then gradually re-
turn to infinity.
The blower motor capacitor is located directly
behind the control panel. It is in use any time
the blower (vent) motor is operating. The ca-
pacitor helps to maintain a constant voltage to
the blower motor so that it runs more effi-
ciently.
