Riello RDB keeps blowing capacitor

Mandzhalas · 2023-11-13 18:10:29

3 days ago noticed that burner would not start, quickly figured out it was capacitor. Bought genuine Riello 4.5 nf capacitor, fitted and burner fired right away. Again this evening burner failed to start. Capacitor only measuring 3.5 nf, needs replacing. What fault causes them to fail prematurely?

You'll find a few explanations of why they go bad.
My guess is that it's not the capacitor in any case.
