This replacement capacitor restores stable electrical timing and motor/run performance in compatible Whirlpool appliances. It helps the appliance start and run smoothly when the original capacitor has failed or weakened. What it does:

• Provides the stored charge needed for motor start/run circuits and control timing.
• Helps prevent motor hum, slow starts, or failure to start when the capacitor is failing.
• Reduces erratic cycling or intermittent operation caused by a weak capacitor.
• Supports reliable operation of blower, fan or small motor circuits that rely on a dedicated capacitor.

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the source before accessing electrical components.
• Capacitors can hold charge—discharge safely before touching terminals.
• Use insulated tools and avoid shorting terminals; verify correct fit and secure connections.
