Product Description
The Genie 110962.0001.S is a factory replacement motor run capacitor rated at 79 microfarad (uF) and 115V for Genie commercial door operators in the MT (medium-duty trolley), MJ (jackshaft), and MH (hoist) product family. Motor run capacitors remain in circuit during motor operation to improve efficiency, power factor, and torque output in single-phase AC induction motors. At 79 uF, this is a purpose-specified capacitance for the MT/MJ/MH motor design. This capacitor is rated for 115V operator installations only. It differs from the 70 uF 200V capacitor used in the GPower 900 series (37954R.S) and the 70 MFD residential capacitor (19988A.S). A failed capacitor typically causes slow starting, humming, or failure to start under load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I confirm this is the correct capacitor for my operator?
A: This capacitor is rated at 79 microfarad (uF) and 115VAC. Always verify the capacitance and voltage rating on your existing capacitor before ordering to ensure a direct match.
Q: What are the symptoms of a failed motor run capacitor on MT, MJ, or MH operators?
A: A failed run capacitor typically causes the motor to hum without starting, run sluggishly, overheat, or trip the thermal overload. If the operator struggles to move the door or stalls under load, the run capacitor is a common suspect.
Q: Can this capacitor be used on 208V or 230V versions of the MT, MJ, or MH?
A: No. This 110962.0001.S is rated for 115VAC operators. Genie MT, MJ, and MH operators are also available in 208/230V configurations, which require a different capacitor. Do not install this capacitor in a 208/230V unit.
Q: Can I substitute a capacitor of a different uF rating if the exact part is unavailable?
A: Motor run capacitors should be replaced using a capacitor of identical or higher voltage rating and the same capacitance (+/- 5 to 10 percent). Using a capacitor with significantly different capacitance can reduce motor efficiency, cause overheating, or damage the motor windings.
Q: What is the difference between a run capacitor and a start capacitor?
A: The run capacitor remains in the motor circuit continuously during operation, unlike a start capacitor which is switched out after startup. The run capacitor improves power factor, motor efficiency, and running torque in single-phase AC motors.
