That is the cap that keeps burning up the button.

I thank you for trying to help.

Like I said in an earlier post, I put dielectric grease on the button & installed the cap; removed the cap & there was grease on the rotor.
I'll have to check the spring on the button tomorrow morning.
It's over 100 outside today. No need to punish myself more if I don't have to.

And, thank you.

That's what I love about this place; post a question about a problem & you'll get a whole mess of, "try this, try that, lookie at this" type responses.

Everybody tries to help.
