Hi,the fan on my single phase Esab C171 mig has stopped working,most likely because my cat piddled on it (smells of cat pee and Jasper has a guilty look about him).
I have found identical fans for sale at about £35 (ebay) but there is a funny capacitor or condenser gizmo on my fan and I don't know what it's for/whether it could be the cause of my problem,this doesn't seem to be fitted to the replacement fans.
What's the gizmo do & do I need it?
How might I approach testing the fan and the attached yellow gizmo to see where my problem is?
I've included photos of my broken fan.
Any help would be much appreciated.
