Default Re: Fridge compressor capacitors

Interesting Bill. Now I look at that picture, there do seem to be water marks on the disc, and I cant think why else such a material would be used unless it was intended to be partially absorbent.

I imagine its better than water drops sitting longer on the compressor casings and potentially rusting it. Or, in fact dripping down into the wiring terminals.

If I cant find any other advice, I might use a few drops of heat resistant epoxy to hold it in place and stop it flapping.
