The capacitor has one wire from the dehumidifier's main board which connects into it. 2 wires, a red and white then lead away from the capacitor to connect to the compressor. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! thanks in advance J. Edit: Extra photos of the ID sticker of EasyHome dehumidifier and the capcitor at a different angle Answered!

The most common failure on a household dehumidifier (compressor type) is the failure of the capacitor that helps start the compressor. This repair is for the Meaco brand 12l Low Energy model. I believe many of their other compressor type models are very similar. Cross head/Phillips screwdrivers as required. Show more…
Disconnect the sensor wire harness from the electronic control board. Pull the wire harness off of the collection bucket float switch. Pull the evaporator thermistor out of the copper sleeve on the side of the evaporator coil. Remove the humidity sensor from the evaporator fins. Pull the sensor assembly out of the dehumidifier.
Lift the pad frame from the humidifier housing and hold it so excess moisture will drip back into the reservoir. Remove the pad from the frame. Rinse the pad with clean water or replace it. If you use soap or detergent, make sure the pad is completely rinsed of residue before reinstalling.
Reinstall the back panel on the dehumidifier and secure it with the mounting screws. Place the front grille on the dehumidifier and secure it with the mounting screws. Push the filter back onto the front grille. Reinstall the collection bucket in the front of the dehumidifier. 10. Plug the dehumidifier back into the wall outlet.
