Replacing the capacitor to the compressor in a dehumidifier
Seeking advice on replacing a capacitor to the compressor in an dehumidifier. The capacitor in question is a CBB61 3 wire 7uF 450V one, made New Tech. It is also rated at 50/60Hz
I have searched all over the internet to try to find one which is of the same ratings, with 3 wires to allow for a straight swap, however 3 wire capacitors do not seem that common, especially at the above values. I am instead now looking to swap it for a 4 wire capacitor or 2 wire capacitor and was hoping for some advice on how to go about doing this. 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.

I think one of the wires is a ground wire

Thank you Brayden for your reply, just as an aside, do you think it would be safe to bypass the ground wire if i use a 2 wire capacitor to replace this 3 wire one? Thanks in advance :)

Yes, I believe it’s possible. In the picture I don’t see the third wire
