Dayton electric motor capacitor, help identifying

Posted by Eric in North TX on September 8, 2009, 10:11 pm

I have a 2hp Dayton (Grainger) model# 6K393N that has a missing
capacitor, I pulled the covers to check them, and one side, the longer
cover was empty, just the 2 wires. I'm hoping someone has one with
that model # that would be kind enough to look to see what value the
missing cap should be. There have to be 1000's of those out there, I
got it in a deal a while back, & hadn't tried to use it till the other
day, it didn't take long to find the problem, but now to find out what
cap it takes.....

I spent quite a bit of time googleing before resorting to begging for
help, can you tell me where you found it. The other cap is there, it
is a 16mfd

Hi,
Do a search for starting capacitor Dayton 6K393 motor.
And send an email to a parts supplier when you come up with one.
www.eurtonelectric.com is the one to try. They sell caps for all kinds
motor. I did a search using capacitor dayton 3K693 motor.
