I recently replaced two Carling burner motors. Both capacitors are dead. and the motor resistance values follow:

Motor

orange

orange

white

Capacitor

Carlin Spec (ohm)

12-16

6-8

20-27

Motor 1

8.4

20.1

Motor 2

13.5

6.6

20.3

motor one, orange to white is slightly out of spec. does anyone see a reason why I should not reuse these motors with new capacitors?

    Replacing capacitors is always less expensive than replacing the entire motor. I see on problem with that .

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?
