Description

The Hoshizaki 3A0076-01 Start Capacitor is a compressor startup component used in compatible commercial systems. With a capacitance range of 145–175uF and a 250V rating, it stores and releases electrical energy needed to initiate compressor operation during startup. This part is commonly placed in ice makers found in restaurants and food preparation facilities where Accurate cooling cycles are necessary for continuous ice production. Operating within the refrigeration electrical circuit, the capacitor assists the compressor in starting efficiently while supporting stable operation and reducing startup strain during repeated production cycles.

Dimensions:

  • Weight: 1 lbs
  • Length: 1 in
  • Height: 1 in
  • Width: 1 in

As part of the ice machine electrical system, the start capacitor provides additional electrical support during compressor or motor startup. The Hoshizaki 3A0076-01 stores and releases electrical energy during the starting cycle to support compressor or motor activation. Rated at 145-175µF and 250V, it functions within the electrical system during startup. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor may help restore proper compressor startup.

Equipment Compatibility:
Designed for use with compatible Hoshizaki ice machines where proper compressor or motor startup is required for normal refrigeration system operation.

Step1: Disconnect power supply to the ice machine and confirm no electrical charge remains.

Step2: Access the control or compressor compartment and locate the existing start capacitor.

Step3: Discharge the old capacitor safely before removal to avoid electrical risk.

Step4: Disconnect wiring terminals and replace with the new capacitor, matching terminal positions.

Step5: Secure capacitor firmly in mounting bracket to prevent vibration during operation.

Step6: Restore power and check compressor starting performance for smooth operation.

Step7: Wear protective gloves and avoid contact with terminals during fitting.

  • What maintenance is required for the Hoshizaki 3A0076-01 Capacitor?

    Periodically inspect the Ice machine capacitor for bulging, leakage, or corrosion on terminals. Ensure wiring connections remain tight and free from moisture or dirt. Keep the surrounding area clean to prevent overheating. Always disconnect power before servicing to avoid electrical hazards.

  • What are common issues with the Hoshizaki 3A0076-01 Capacitor?

    • Capacitor bulging from electrical stress.
    • Failure to start compressor due to capacitance loss.
    • Terminal corrosion causing poor electrical contact.
    • Overheating from improper voltage or ventilation.
