What's in the Box

• 1 x Braemar Wall Furnace Capacitor 2UF (SY612089)

Using It on the Job

1. Always isolate power to the furnace at the main switchboard and apply lockout/tagout procedures before commencing any work.
2. Access the furnace's control panel and carefully locate the existing capacitor. Note its orientation and wiring connections.
3. 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.
4. Disconnect the wiring from the old capacitor and remove it from its mounting.
5. Install the new SY612089 capacitor, ensuring correct wiring connections and secure mounting. Double-check all terminals.
6. 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.
