Hello, I have an A.O. Smith centurion pump motor model B855. It fails to start unless I manually spin the shaft and then it runs fine. Do I need to replace the capacitor mounted on the top of the motor to fix this start up problem?

Hi, The B855 motor does not have a start capacitor, the Run Capacitor 30MFD 370V (5VR0303) would be the correct capacitor.

Question Regarding: Pool Pump Run Capacitor, 30 MFD, 2444 - 5VR0303
