Parts for Kenmore 106.740770 (106740770, 106 740770): Air Flow Parts

This oval run capacitor provides the necessary phase-shift for single-phase appliance motors, helping them run smoothly and reliably. It replaces a failed run capacitor to restore normal motor performance and reduce motor stress. What it does

• Supplies the motor with steady run capacitance to maintain rotation and efficiency
• Commonly associated with symptoms like motor humming, slow or no start, or intermittent motor operation
• Helps prevent overheating and excessive current draw when functioning properly
• Works as a direct replacement when the original is the same shape, voltage rating, and terminal configuration

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Discharge the capacitor safely before touching terminals (use an insulated tool with proper procedure)
• Replace only with a capacitor that matches the original's voltage rating, capacitance, and terminal layout

Size; 8-18 x 1/2 inch.
