OverviewFailure modesStart capacitorsRun capacitorsDual run capacitorsLabelingSafety issues

A faulty run capacitor often becomes swollen, with the sides or ends bowed or bulged out further than usual; it can then be clear to see that the capacitor has failed, because it is swollen or even blown apart causing the capacitor''s electrolyte to leak out. Some capacitors have a "pressure-sensitive interrupter" design that causes them to fail before internal pressures can cause serious injury. One such design causes the top of the capacitor to expand and break internal wiring.
