The Wacker Neuson Capacitor is a genuine OEM component designed for the HX200 Heat Exchanger and the Pureheat Hydronic Heater series, including Oil Burner, Gas Burner, and Diesel Hydronic Air Heater configurations. As a direct OEM replacement, this capacitor is sourced from Wacker Neuson and built to the exact electrical specifications required by these heating units. Verified fitment across the HX200 and Pureheat product families means you can order with confidence that this is the correct part for your machine. Keep a spare on hand — capacitor failure is one of the most common reasons a burner motor fails to start.
Key Features
- Correct Electrical Rating for Burner Motor Start-Up — Genuine OEM spec ensures the capacitor delivers the precise capacitance required to start and run the burner motor in Pureheat and HX200 heating units.
- Drop-In OEM Replacement — Matches the original mounting footprint and terminal connections, allowing straightforward installation without modification to wiring or housing.
- Fits Multiple Pureheat and HX200 Configurations — Compatible with the HX200 Heat Exchanger, Pureheat Hydronic Heater (Oil Burner and Gas Burner), and the Hydronic Air Heater Diesel variant.
- Restores Full Heating Output — A worn or failed capacitor causes the burner motor to hum, run sluggishly, or fail to start entirely, cutting heat output. Replacing it restores normal ignition and heating performance.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — Using the correct OEM-rated capacitor in a fuel-burning heater helps ensure the electrical system operates within design parameters, reducing the risk of motor damage or ignition faults.
A capacitor in a hydronic heater provides the initial electrical boost — and sustained phase shift — that the burner motor needs to start and run efficiently. Without a functioning capacitor, the motor may draw excess current, overheat, or fail to turn over altogether, leaving the heater unable to produce heat. Over time, capacitors degrade naturally due to heat cycling and age, making them a routine service item on heating equipment used in demanding cold-weather applications.
