Place the ends of the wires on the opposite side from the brushes onto the ac motor terminals. The higher the capacitance of the capacitor the more energy it can store. The magnets repel the electrical energy and force the armature in the motor to rotate. A bad motor capacitor may cause starting problems or could shut off the motor while running.

You can service wiring connections bearings and. Replace the screws into the screw holes and then tighten them using a screwdriver. Motor capacitors store electrical energy for the motor to use.
