Garden Shredder problem
turgle:
My garden shredder stopped working so I replaced the capacitor and now when I turn it on the motor starts accelerates faster and faster for a few seconds, in reverse, then switches itself off. Anyone know whats going wrong? Thanks.

When you replaced the capacitor in your garden shredder, it's possible that there might be an issue with the wiring or the motor itself. Here are a few possibilities to consider:
Ensure that you have replaced the old capacitor with the correct one in terms of capacitance value and voltage rating. Using an incorrect capacitor can lead to unexpected motor behavior and potentially damage the motor.
Double-check the wiring connections you made during the capacitor replacement. Verify that you have connected the capacitor correctly and that all other wires are properly secured and in the right places. Incorrect wiring can cause abnormal motor behavior.
There might be an issue with the motor windings, such as a short circuit or a fault in the winding insulation. This can lead to the motor accelerating rapidly in reverse before shutting off as a protective measure. A faulty motor might require professional repair or replacement.

Sounds like you may have mixed up the main and run windings. Usually, the start winding (The one with the capacitor) is the one with the higher resistance.
Here's a quick guide to figure out which winding is which.
