Delfield 3516582 Start Capacitor Tecumseh Eh

Product Description

The DELFIELD 3516582 is a start capacitor designed for use with Tecumseh EH series compressors in commercial refrigeration equipment. Start capacitors provide the initial electrical boost needed to bring a compressor motor up to operating speed, then drop out of the circuit once the motor is running. This part is installed and serviced by commercial refrigeration technicians working on reach-in coolers, prep tables, undercounter units, and similar Delfield commercial appliances.

This start capacitor is intended for commercial refrigeration applications using Tecumseh EH series hermetic compressors. It is a direct replacement component used during compressor motor service when the original capacitor has failed, causing hard-start or no-start conditions. Technicians servicing Delfield commercial foodservice equipment will encounter this part in units where the compressor requires capacitor-start assistance.

Key Features

• Designed for Tecumseh EH series compressor applications
• Provides starting torque boost to get compressor motor up to speed
• OEM-style replacement for Delfield commercial refrigeration equipment
• Drops out of circuit after motor reaches operating speed, protecting windings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement start capacitor for Delfield commercial refrigeration equipment using Tecumseh EH series compressors.

Installation Notes

Start capacitors are installed by qualified commercial refrigeration technicians. Always disconnect and lock out power to the unit before servicing capacitors, as capacitors can retain a charge even after power is removed — discharge safely before handling. Follow NEC guidelines for electrical component replacement in commercial refrigeration systems. Verify capacitor ratings match the compressor nameplate before installation.
