Reznor 101917 Capacitor
The Reznor 101917 Capacitor is a mission-critical component engineered for performance stability in specific Reznor unit heater motor circuits. Rated at 5 MFD and 370 VAC, this high-tolerance run capacitor is designed to facilitate consistent motor torque and high efficiency during the startup and operational phases of HVACR equipment. This component effectively replaces the P71A12505K05 model, ensuring that the induction motor maintains the correct phase shift for optimal heat dissipation and longevity. When troubleshooting a motor that fails to start or hums without rotation, checking the microfarad output of the Reznor 101917 is a standard diagnostic step for field contractors. Its robust construction is built to withstand the thermal demands of industrial heating environments, preventing premature dielectric breakdown. Proper integration of this OEM Reznor replacement part ensures the drive system operates within factory specifications, maintaining airflow integrity across the heat exchanger and protecting the blower motor from excessive current draw.
- Precise Electrical Rating: Features a 5 microfarad (uF) capacitance at 370 volts to ensure exact motor phase alignment.
- Field-Proven Durability: Designed for high-duty cycles common in industrial Reznor unit heaters and air handlers.
- Direct OEM Compatibility: Replaces factory part numbers like P71A12505K05 without requiring bracket modifications.
- Optimized Motor Torque: Provides the necessary electrical boost to maintain consistent RPMs and prevent motor overheating.
Common HVACR Technical Questions
How do I verify if the Reznor 101917 is failing?
Technicians should use a multimeter set to capacitance mode to check the microfarad reading; if it falls 10% below the 5 MFD rating, the capacitor requires immediate replacement to prevent motor damage.
Can I use a 440V capacitor to replace this 370V 101917 model?
Yes, in field applications, a higher voltage rating is acceptable as long as the capacitance remains exactly 5 MFD, though staying with OEM specs is always preferred for cabinet fitment.
What are the symptoms of a weak run capacitor in a Reznor heater?
Noticeable symptoms include the motor running hot, higher than normal amp draw, an audible hum at startup, or the motor failing to reach its rated RPM.
