Lock Stock Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Sounds like the capacitor (white cylinder thing) inside with wires running to the switch. There is older ones & newer ones If you got an older one the just cut the wires and join together or if its a newer one you just plug it in.
