PSH - Motor Run Capacitor 16 µF – Pack of 4 - 4550211R

PSH – Motor Run Capacitor 16 µF – Pack of 4

This is the genuine PSH replacement run capacitor (16 microfarads / 16 MF) for the motor assembly of PSH pool pumps. The capacitor sits within the motor circuit and maintains the correct voltage and current to the motor windings during operation, keeping the pump running smoothly and efficiently. This pack contains four units, making it ideal for service technicians or pool owners managing multiple pumps.

Compatibility

This capacitor is the correct OEM replacement for PSH pump models MICRO, MINI, ND.1, and ND.2 (exploded-view position 18). Always replace with an exact microfarad match — substituting a different MF value can lead to motor overheating or premature failure. If your pump motor hums on start-up but fails to turn, or trips the breaker during operation, a faulty run capacitor is a common cause worth checking first.

Why genuine matters

Using a genuine PSH capacitor ensures the correct MF rating, physical dimensions, and electrical tolerances are met for these specific motor designs. Third-party alternatives may differ in capacitance tolerance or terminal configuration, risking poor motor performance or damage. As an OEM part, this capacitor is manufactured to the same specification as the original fitted at the factory.

Installation

Always isolate mains power at the circuit breaker before opening the motor cover. Capacitors can retain a residual electrical charge even when the pump is off — discharge carefully before handling. Reconnect wiring in the same configuration as the original. Professional installation by a qualified electrician or pool technician is strongly recommended for safety.
