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.

  • 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.
