Hello all. Your knowledgable assistance required please. Running one of my Elf NT projectors, loud pop and smoke and this part seems to be the culprit, what is this part called and I also noticed the 'fluff 'like wadding that has appeared. Your advice on the part and what it does (can it pop and produce smoke, and why??) is greatly appreciated. Thank you all
If the motor does not now run it is probably an electrolytic capacitor which is used to "kick-start" the motor.
At switch on it instantly charges up and them immediately passes the high voltage for the kick-start.
Unfortunately they do not have a long life if they are not used very often.
