A capacitor on my surfacing motor had a hole burnt through it the size of a 50 cent piece. I was planning some boards turned it off for around a half hour and when I attempted to restart it, it just hummed. I had the capacitor replaced and now,at least so far, is working just fine. I still don¡¯t know what would cause this burn out. Are both capacitors running capacitors or is one of them a starting capacitor? Is there a centrifugal switch in the motor that would possibly be the culprit?
Any feedback would be much appreciated
