Tecumseh k150-11 Run Capacitor Kit

Product Description

The TECUMSEH k150-11 is a run capacitor kit designed to support motor starting and running performance in refrigeration and air conditioning compressor applications. Run capacitors maintain a continuous phase shift in the motor winding circuit, allowing single-phase compressor motors to operate efficiently under load. This kit provides the components needed for a complete capacitor replacement and is installed by licensed HVAC-R technicians during routine compressor service or component-level repair.

This kit is suited for single-phase compressor motor applications in light commercial and residential refrigeration or air conditioning systems. It is typically installed when a failed or degraded run capacitor causes the compressor to draw excessive current, run hot, or fail to start. Technicians performing compressor maintenance or warranty service will find this kit useful for restoring proper motor operation.

Key Features

• Complete kit format provides all components needed for a run capacitor replacement
• Designed for single-phase compressor motor circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement run capacitor kit for TECUMSEH compressor applications in residential and light commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified HVAC-R technician. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the unit before removing or handling capacitor components, as capacitors can retain a dangerous charge even after power is removed and must be safely discharged prior to service. Verify that the replacement capacitor specifications match the original equipment requirements before installation. Follow all applicable NEC guidelines and local codes when servicing electrical components.
