Yesterday my compressor wouldn't start, it just hummed. I gave it a little turn with hand and it took off. It started several times while it was using it. Today it won't start even giving it a little turn. I'm wondering about start capacitor. There are 2 capacitors on top of motor. One says
CD60B
230 VAC
150 uF
60 H
It has yellow wires. The other has black wires and says
CBB60
15 uF + - 5%
450VA 60Hz
Is there a way to check them, are they both start capacitors? How do I be sure they are discharged so I don't get bit? They don't have connectors. I would have to cut wires and put back with butt connectors.
Any ideas what is wrong will be appreciated.
