Hobart 070487-00025 Motor Start Capacitor 161-193 Mfd 110V

Product Description

The HOBART 070487-00025 is a motor start capacitor designed to deliver the high initial torque required to bring commercial foodservice equipment motors up to operating speed. Rated at 110 volts with a capacitance range of 161 to 193 microfarads (MFD), this capacitor engages during the startup phase and disengages once the motor reaches running speed. It is a genuine OEM replacement part, manufactured to original specifications for consistent performance and reliable service life. This component is installed by commercial kitchen equipment technicians during scheduled maintenance or when diagnosing startup failures in mixer drives and similar motor-driven equipment.

This capacitor is suited for commercial foodservice applications where motor start assist is required. It fits the Hobart A200 and A120 mixer models among compatible equipment in this product family. Typical install scenarios include warranty-level repairs, preventive maintenance cycles, and field service calls where the original capacitor has failed due to heat stress, age, or repeated heavy-duty start cycles common in commercial kitchen environments.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM replacement part built to original HOBART specifications
• 110-volt rating matched to standard commercial mixer motor circuits
• 161-193 MFD capacitance range provides consistent startup torque across the rated tolerance band
• Compact form factor fits within original mounting envelope without modification
• Motor start design engages only during startup phase, limiting heat buildup during operation

Compatibility

Fits Hobart A200 and A120 mixer models as a direct OEM-style replacement for the original motor start capacitor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified commercial equipment technician. Disconnect and lock out power to the mixer before accessing the motor compartment or handling any capacitor. Note that capacitors can retain a charge even after power is disconnected — discharge the capacitor safely before removal using an appropriate discharge tool. Verify that the replacement capacitor voltage and MFD ratings match the original unit before reinstalling.
