Can I just try replacing the capacitor first, if the motor turns freely but hums on start-up?

Yes you may; however, keep in mind these motors include a starter winding which may be defective.

I did that to an older motor and it fixed it. I think I would try it first before spending the money on a motor.

That might work, and its a Lot cheaper than a New motor but you may have bad windings. I can't think of a way to "push" start it to see if it's just the cap.Assuming it's out of warranty, I'd disassemble the motor and check for corrosion and inspect the cap. If the new cap works, I'd replace all the seals on the pump and the motor bearings. At least lube the bolts incase you ever need to replace the bearings- mine was too corroded to crack the motor thanks to leaking seals.

For a few bucks it would be worth it to replace the capacitor, but I went ahead and replaced the motor cause it was less work and less risk of shock. Being that I don't have the proper equipment to discharge the capacitor.The new motor is working well and was worth a quarter of the price of a new pump. If the capacitor doesn't work. Your still coming out better then having to replace the pump. Cheers my friend. Hope things work out for you.

If you are desperate, it may be possible to do this yourself, at risk of the fan's lifespan if it is frequently turned on and off.The motor appears to be a single-phase AC motor with a capacitor start. My capacitor is 250V rated, so it *can* very easily blow with 220V AC. you need to replace that capacitor easily accessed in the control panel. You want to use a 400V AC motor-start capacitor. Other than that, in normal operation, I believe the speed will be covered by the 50Hz AC you probably get, so it will run just 50/60 83% slower on 50Hz which honestly would be great for noise reasons. You have to be willing to risk losing the fan if I am wrong :'(.

There is still some power left in the capacitor. Once that discharges it will stop chirping. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

You're experiencing ground loop hum. Try using batteries only. If you still here loud hums, send it in for repair.

Easiest way is to call the service number on the owners manual. The service rep walks through a series of questions and then determines the problem. You then say thanks and look up the part on Amazon. It cost about a third less.

I saw the same thing on youtube and attempted the repair. I found no damaged capacitors and the kit did not contain the correct capacitors anyway. Also, the iron did not work well and I ended up using my old auto repair iron instead.

If it's the power supply, it is likely to work. The symptom I had was that the tv would not turn on, and was flashing an error code in the red LED. And the capacitor kit was inexpensive, and it was easy to see the capacitors that were bad. With a little soldering experience, it is easy to replace the caps, and for me that solved the issue in the supply.

No. You need to order a capacitor separately and only if yours is defective.

no but had my unit stop putting out power after first year though it ran smoothly took several months to get the part on back order for a "capacitor" all told unit was out for 5 months repair process leaves a great deal to be desired good luck

Don't know for sure. Try googling youtube or other sources. Ours works great after replacing bad capacitors.

It's a split-phase motor, not capacitive start. This motor is almost the same as the GE model 5KH45HD178X motor that I am replacing on my drill press, which is an old floor standing 15" spindle model.

I would like to help, but the capacitors weren't for me, so I am not sure about that.

I just mailed mine back to manufacturer. They are replacing my motor and hopefully cleaning it. I don't know if you've called them but they have excellent customer support. That's where I would start.

Electrically they are very close to being the same, I do recommend getting a new start capacitor with the new motor. You will have to take your AC unit apart and measure the shaft diameter and motor bolt pattern to make sure they are the same. Also this motor is reversible, so make sure when you wire it up the fan is spinning the right direction.

I had the same problem (clicking upon startup). I called Samsung (1-800-SAMSUNG) and after explaining the problem and mentioning that I saw reports of bad capacitors on the Internet, the representative setup a repair appointment. In a few days the tech arrived, replaced the capacitors with upgraded ones. No charge. Problem is fixed! Give them a call if you are having this issue. Nov. 2010.

Mine stopped working too and it made a loud buzzing noise... it should turn on after the power is turned on, I fixed mine by just bopping the side and it worked!

I'm also in the same problem. Anyone have A home repair solution? Prior to this I had the power on problem which was solved by upgrading some blown capacitors.
