    Tom,

    My SS PCS stopped running last week and Sawstop sent replacements for both the Start and Run capacitors along with the centrifugal switch. As Thomas suggested above, try replacing trhe Run capacitor.

    UPDATE:

    I swapped out the run capacitor and still tripped the circuit. So I took the motor to a repair shop recommended by my local Woodcraft (where I bought the saw). I learned today the run windings are shorted out. He recommends getting a new motor rather than trying to fix it. So, that is my most likely solution. I'm disappointed of course, as the Jet rep assured me the saw would last longer than me!

    Thanks for all the help and advice.
