Technicians should test a well pump s control box before pulling a nonworking pump from the well. Find water pump accessories at lowe s today. There are usually 2 capacitors inside a pump control box a start capacitor and a run capacitor. Control box capacitors play an integral role in your submersible well pump system.

They are responsible for starting up or running the motor. Over time the well pump capacitors wear out lose capacitance and need replacing. Once the water pressure reaches the switch s high pressure limit the switch opens turning off the electricity. Similar to a phone s battery after charging so many times or being in use for years capacitors reach their end of life.

Participation and delivery area vary by store. Continued use may result in the capacitor blowing out potentially causing damage to your motor or control box. When the water tank s pressure switch detects low water pressure its switch closes which turns on the electricity to the control box.
