The heating has stopped working!

The cap is only used for starting.

If you power the unknown make of boiler and then spin the pump shaft in the correct direction then it will be likely to continue to turn.

Most pump caps are 2.6 uF.

Hi Tony,
Spun the shaft and it kept spinning, well done. A warm christmas day from me, thanks.

100% agree. Circulation pump will be unreliable, no point fitting a new Cap on a manky pump.
A few of us pros would maintain/ clean your circulation pump. But you're too tight to pay for a pro.

Which is why he won't be buying his capacitor today, which is why he will be buying his capacitor when the shops open, which is when he could just buy a new pump, which is why some peeps think he's being tight.

I'm as tight as a duck's rear end but even I would get a new pump. Can't live with an unreliable heating system.

Hi,
I've ordered some oil for that squeak, Agas

And a HAPPY NEW YEAR to one and all.

EDIT: Capacitor just arrived and fitted, the pump is working again. Thanks again.
The boiler and pump are over 30 years old, I'll rethink once it gets warmer.

Hi,
The boiler broke down again today!

When I bought the last Capacitor, I bought two.
Fitted within 1/2 hour, and working again, with the same reliable pump.
