I have a 2 year old k10, been having problem with it stalling, It will not start some time , you can hear the motor hum, then I have to turn it to coarse till it run then back to fine.
I searched the forum and found out about capacitors, so I took the cover of and I have 2 , one is 20 and the other is 30 total of 50. Some people have 25 and 30 ?
Am not sure if this is the problem needing an extra kick. I emailed Compak and may give them a call tomorrow.
Any thoughts
Thanks

It sounds like your K10, like mine, is among the batch that had underpowered capacitors. The symptom is occasionally stalling under load (it will run fine when empty). Contact your vendor and ask them for the higher capacity capacitors.
