This Bonaire 25MFD capacitor with leads is a direct replacement part designed to get your evaporative cooler's fan or pump motor firing up correctly. It's a critical component for reliable startup, especially as these units work hard through Australian summers.
When an evaporative cooler starts struggling to spin up, or hums without fully engaging, a failing capacitor is often the culprit. Swapping out a dead capacitor quickly means your customers aren't stuck without cooling for long.
Best for: HVAC techs, evaporative cooler service teams, and DIY owners maintaining Bonaire cooling units.

What's in the Box
- 1 x Bonaire Capacitor With Leads 25MFD (Part No. CTSPS0160187SP)
Using It on the Job
- Always isolate power to the evaporative cooler at the main switchboard and apply a lockout tag.
- Locate the existing capacitor, typically near the motor compartment.
- Discharge the old capacitor using a screwdriver with an insulated handle across its terminals, if needed, though leads usually mean it's self-discharging.
- Carefully disconnect the leads from the old capacitor, noting their positions.
- Connect the new Bonaire 25MFD capacitor, ensuring leads match the original connections.
- Secure the new capacitor in place, restore power, and test the cooler's operation.
Limitations & Safety Notes
- Requires electrical competency; ensure you are qualified or consult a licensed electrician for installation.
- Only for use with Bonaire evaporative coolers that specify a 25MFD run capacitor.
- Capacitors can store a charge even after power is off; always discharge them safely before handling.
- Always follow local electrical safety regulations and Safe Work Australia guidelines.
Tradie Pro Tip
"Before you pull the old cap out, grab your phone and snap a photo of the wiring. Makes hooking up the new one a no-brainer, especially when you're sweating it out on a hot roof."
