What's in the Box
- 1 x Braemar Wall Furnace Capacitor 2UF (SY612089)
Using It on the Job
- Always isolate power to the furnace at the main switchboard and apply lockout/tagout procedures before commencing any work.
- Access the furnace's control panel and carefully locate the existing capacitor. Note its orientation and wiring connections.
- Carefully discharge the old capacitor using an insulated screwdriver across its terminals or a purpose-built discharge tool to prevent electric shock, even after power is off.
- Disconnect the wiring from the old capacitor and remove it from its mounting.
- Install the new SY612089 capacitor, ensuring correct wiring connections and secure mounting. Double-check all terminals.
- Restore power to the furnace and test its operation, specifically observing the fan motor's start-up sequence.
Limitations & Safety Notes
- This capacitor is suitable only for compatible Braemar WF2000 series wall furnace models.
- Always disconnect and lockout electrical power before handling. Capacitors can store a dangerous charge even when power is off.
- Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including insulated gloves and eye protection, when working with electrical components.
- Installation and replacement should only be performed by qualified personnel or competent DIY owners who are familiar with electrical safety procedures.
Tradie Pro Tip: When troubleshooting a furnace that won't start its fan, a dead capacitor is often overlooked. Always check it with a multimeter set to capacitance mode; it's a quicker diagnosis than pulling the motor apart unnecessarily.
