Capacitor

This run capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run smoothly by storing and releasing electrical energy. Replacing a worn capacitor can restore reliable motor operation and reduce abnormal motor noise or cycling. What it does:

• Provides the brief power boost motors need to start and maintain RPM
• Helps stabilize motor voltage and improve run efficiency under load
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as motors that hum but won't start, slow or intermittent motor operation, or unusual motor noise
• Reduces stress on motor windings that can lead to premature failure when functioning properly

• One motor capacitor

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Capacitors can hold a charge; discharge safely
• Observe proper polarity and mounting location during installation; secure wiring and connectors

If your microwave won't heat food or makes buzzing sounds, the high voltage capacitor may have failed. This part stores electrical energy for the magnetron.

Microwave not heating or making unusual sounds? The high voltage capacitor stores energy for the magnetron. DIY repair with proper discharge safety.

Fix a dryer that won't start, hums, or runs intermittently with this motor run capacitor. Restores reliable starting and reduces motor noise.

Dryer won't start or runs erratically? A failed capacitor disrupts motor operation. This electrical capacitor restores reliable performance. DIY-friendly fix.

Dryer won't start or hums but doesn't spin? The capacitor provides the motor starting boost. This electrical repair takes 30-45 minutes with basic tools.

The Capacitor is an OEM part for GE dryers. It is part of the dryer's motor system, providing an extra boost of power to start the motor and keep it running smoothly during operation.

A bad capacitor can lead to motor-related issues and dryer malfunctions. Causes of a bad capacitor can include electrical surges, overheating, or general wear and tear over time.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• Dryer not starting or having difficulty starting
• Motor running erratically or making unusual noises
• Dryer drum not spinning
• Dryer taking longer than usual to dry clothes

Replace your faulty or damaged Capacitor with this genuine OEM GE part to restore your dryer. 

This GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
 

Microwave not heating or making loud buzzing noise? This high voltage capacitor stores and releases power to the magnetron. Moderate DIY repair.

This replacement shield is a direct-fit protective cover that restores the appliance's factory protection for internal components. It prevents contact with sensitive parts and helps keep wiring and controls clear of debris. What it does:

• Protects wiring, controls and nearby components from heat, moisture and debris.
• Restores the original barrier that helps prevent accidental contact with moving or hot parts.
• Replaces cracked, broken or missing shields that can lead to rattling, exposed components or interference.
• Helps maintain appliance safety and quiet operation when installed correctly.

• One replacement shield

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Handle replacement shield carefully — edges may be sharp; use gloves and basic hand tools.
• Retain and reuse original fasteners unless new hardware is specified; ensure shield is properly seated and secured.
• Do not operate the appliance with shields or covers missing.

This is a motor start/run capacitor that helps the appliance's motor start and run smoothly by supplying a brief boost of electrical energy. Replacing a failing capacitor restores reliable motor startup and operation. What it does:

• Provides the brief electrical surge needed to start and keep the motor running
• Commonly linked to motors that hum, fail to start, or run intermittently
• Helps prevent overheating from repeated start attempts when functioning properly
• Works with the appliance's start circuitry to ensure consistent performance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components
• Discharge the capacitor and use insulated tools
• Observe polarity/terminal layout and secure connections to factory specifications
• Dispose of the old capacitor according to local electronic-waste regulations

Fix a range hood fan that won't start or runs intermittently with this motor start/run capacitor. Easy DIY repair restores proper motor performance.
