Once again I am fixing one of my two Fresh AIr by ecoQuest air filters. This time it struggles to turn on. I was taking longer and longer to start up making multiple attempts but then failing and trying again. It acted like a bad capacitor and the 8 volt power was at 5 volts so I tried a 220uF 16 volt capacitor from the 8 volts to ground. It made no difference. Then I moved the positive lead to the 12 volt power supply and it WORKED!
These pictures show where I soldered in the capacitor. It need a little glue under it as well.
