Description
The Tecumseh K146-25 is a genuine OEM start capacitor engineered to deliver the high-torque starting boost that Tecumseh compressors demand. Designed as a direct replacement component, this capacitor provides the precise microfarad range required to initiate compressor motor rotation reliably — even under challenging load conditions.
Start capacitors are a critical element in single-phase compressor circuits. They remain in the circuit only during the motor start cycle, supplying the extra current needed to overcome inertia and bring the compressor up to operating speed quickly. Using the correct MFD rating ensures proper motor torque and protects the compressor from hard-start damage over time.

Why Choose OEM?
Using a genuine Tecumseh replacement capacitor ensures the component meets the exact electrical specifications of your compressor. Off-spec capacitors can cause nuisance trips, premature motor wear, or compressor failure. Trust the OEM part for maximum reliability and warranty compliance.
