The Capacitor is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It stores and releases electrical energy to help start the motor and regulate its speed, ensuring the washer operates efficiently and reliably. This component is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of the washing machine.

Causes of a bad capacitor can include electrical surges, wear and tear from regular use, or physical damage due to impact. Over time, capacitors can degrade, leading to reduced functionality or complete failure. Regular inspection can help identify potential issues early.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

  • The washer not starting or struggling to start
  • Motor running inconsistently or not at full speed
  • Unusual noises during operation
  • Error codes related to motor function

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

You'll need to start looking for an issue in the lid switch, timer, or possibly a voltage situation, (less than 108 VAC at the outlet when the motor starts at a spin cycle).
