Members GLfisherman Posted December 25, 2019 Members Report Posted December 25, 2019 Hi, Needs some help. The capacitor on my Rex sewing machine motor is leaking. I need to replace it. Unfortunately the nonminclatur on capacitor is missing. Motor plate reeds: Hitachi 1/3 hp clutch motor Amps 3.7 60 cycle 110 volts Sn E683758 Cap 16F Model x I am assuming this if 16 microfard capacitor.. I am thinking it is a run capacitor. Does that sound correct? Any suggestions on where to purchase capacitor? Thanks for any help Quote

Members Gymnast Posted December 30, 2019 Members Report Posted December 30, 2019 I would buy this 5-pack of capacitors: Link to Amazon And then use 3 in parallel. Quote Sewing Machines in Detail, YouTube channel
