Parts for Kenmore 564.8998310 (5648998310, 564 8998310): Control Parts

A 440V round run capacitor designed to restore proper motor run performance and efficiency in compatible appliances. Replacing a failing run capacitor can reduce motor noise, prevent overheating, and help motors maintain normal speed under load. What it does:

• Provides continuous phase shift to help the motor run smoothly during operation
• Commonly associated with symptoms like a humming motor, reduced motor speed, or intermittent operation
• Helps improve motor efficiency and can reduce excessive heat when functioning properly
• Not a start capacitor—meant for continuous operation in run circuits

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing; verify power is off at the breaker
• Capacitors can hold a charge—discharge safely before touching terminals
• Match terminal type, voltage rating, capacitance, and mounting to the original part before installation

This round run capacitor provides starting and running phase balance for single-phase motors and HVAC blower/compressor systems. It helps restore proper motor torque and stable operation when the original capacitor fails. What it does:

• Stores and releases electrical charge to create the phase shift motors need for starting and running
• Commonly replaces a failing capacitor that causes motors to hum, run slowly, or struggle to start
• Helps stabilize motor speed and reduce overheating caused by weak capacitance
• Used in HVAC blowers, condensers and other single-phase motor applications that specify a 440 VAC run capacitor

• One round run capacitor

• Disconnect all power and verify circuits are de-energized before attempting service
• Discharge capacitor terminals with a properly rated resistor or follow OEM discharge procedure
• Match capacitance (µF) and rated voltage exactly; retain original mounting and wiring orientation
