Start/run electric motor capacitors can be mounted in any direction or position. However there are some other capacitor mounting considerations that can affect capacitor life: basically you want to minimize the capacitor's exposure to vibration and heat. As AFCAP points out, ..."
A "hard-start" motor capacitor is simply a capacitor that gives a bit of extra boost or torque to try to get a motor spinning. [Click to enlarge any image] When an electric motor, such as an A/C motor, is having trouble starting, it's common for the service technician to simply try swapping-in a new starting capacitor.
On many systems these terminals may already be labeled so that the three leads on a start/run capacitor can be wired correctly: But what if there are no markings. Watch out: do not proceed to hook up a start or run capacitor to a motor before you have the correctly identified the motor capacitor terminals. Otherwise you may damage the motor.
By which "side", the caps have to be on the correct terminals for Start (the start winding) and Run (the run winding) of your motor. But there's no right or wrong "side" otherwise. Surely your motor has terminals specified for its start and run capacitor connections.
This has stumped even long time mechanics. From your description, your system needs a new start capacitor for the fan motor. If you bought the proper capacitor then you may have wired it incorrectly. There will be a Start S and Run S terminal and a C common terminal.
The capacitor is simply is a device that gives an extra jolt to do the motor at the startup time if it's a start capacitor and it helps keep the motor running at speed if it's a run capacitor. Oh wait a minute. Were you replacing a starting capacitor, or run capacitor, or one that combines both functions?
