I've seen many, MANY Blenderfans with blown capacitors, all of them K63. I'm sure you know they take the oil filled kind, either 4 or 5 uf (seems to be random which one), and it's located in the top of the motor - hence, you will need to take the fan down to access it, and you'll also need a set of Allen wrenches to remove either the downrod or the hanger piece so you can take off the canopies. You could put in a black box capacitor, but you'd either need to secure the wires to the clips or cut off the clips and use wire nuts accordingly. Either way, I wouldn't put higher than a 5uf in there though. Read more: http://ada19851985.proboards.com/ index.cgi?board=problems&action=display&thread=5550#ixzz1sgIAprmh |

Thanks, JW. I'd like to replace it with the black box kind. I'm betting the oil-filled ones are hard to find now. Read more: http://ada19851985.proboards.com/ index.cgi?board=problems&action=display&thread=5550#ixzz1sgIKA7eW |

I've actually found the oil-filled ones at Grainger, very similar to what's in most Emersons from the 70s and 80s. Clips fit right on, simple swap out. Read more: http://ada19851985.proboards.com/ index.cgi?board=problems&action=display&thread=5550#ixzz1sgISmp9u |

And yes Grainger, Fastenal, etc all sell the oil type. The black box ones are actually harder to find though some hardware stores still stock them. Link to Post - Back to Top Logged Read more: http://ada19851985.proboards.com/ index.cgi?board=problems&action=display&thread=5550#ixzz1sgIiyRWy |
