Dryer Capacitor

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is an electronic component that assists in powering the refrigerator's compressor motor. The capacitor functions to provide an electrical boost needed to start the compressor running smoothly during each cooling cycle.

Causes of a bad capacitor can include deterioration of dielectric material over many years of operation or accidental moisture penetration into the capacitor case.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• The refrigerator compressor failing to turn on/refrigeration cycles not operating
• Loud humming noises coming from behind the refrigerator
• Erratic cooling performance and fluctuating interior temperatures

This OEM part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Admiral, and Kenmore refrigerator models. 

This washer motor run capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to help the drive motor start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak capacitor can help restore consistent agitation and spin and reduce motor humming or stalling under load.

• Provides the phase shift and torque assist the drive motor needs to start and stay running
• Can address: washer won't start, no agitate or spin, motor only hums/buzzes, or stops under load
• Visible clues of failure can include a swollen, cracked, or leaking capacitor case

• Unplug the appliance before servicing; capacitors can retain a charge even when power is off
• Discharge the capacitor safely before handling
• Note wire positions; move leads to the same terminals and secure the capacitor in the original bracket/orientation
• Inspect connectors and replace any burnt or loose terminals to ensure a tight fit

This motor start/run capacitor restores the electrical boost a motor needs to start and run smoothly in compatible Whirlpool appliances. Replacing a failing capacitor can stop motor hesitations and restore normal cycling. What it does:

• Provides the temporary electrical charge needed for compressor or motor startup and stable running
• Helps prevent long crank times, slow or labored motor operation, and intermittent motor stalls
• Reduces humming or buzzing from a motor that struggles to start
• Supports consistent appliance cycles by stabilizing voltage to the motor

• One replacement capacitor

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker or unplug before beginning any service
• Capacitors can hold a charge—discharge safely before touching terminals
• Handle and mount according to the appliance wiring diagram; match terminal connections exactly

This is a capacitor intended for use with dryers. This part is used in tandem with the dryer's motor to start the appliance. The capacitor sends a jolt of electricity to the motor, which in turn activates the appliance. With use over time or because of damage caused otherwise, the dryer capacitor may malfunction. It can also fail entirely. When the dryer capacitor is no longer working efficiently, it has to be replaced.Malfunctioning dryer capacitors will emit a humming or buzzing sound instead of kicking the dryer into full operation mode. Replacing a dryer capacitor is simple. It is always necessary to unplug the appliance before starting the process of repairing the part. Wear gloves for protection. A multimeter can be used to test the old capacitor before removing the part. If it fails, replace it with a new part and reassemble the machine.This dryer capacitor is a genuine OEM replacement part. It is sold as an individual unit. It is made of durable, high-quality materials. The dryer capacitor is sourced from the manufacturer. The dryer capacitor can be used in several models of machines made by RCA, General Electric, and Hotpoint.

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.
 

This motor run/start capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run more reliably, restoring normal operation when the original capacitor has failed. Replacing a bad capacitor can reduce motor humming and prevent startup issues. What it does:

• Provides the stored electrical charge needed to start and stabilize the motor
• Helps the compressor, fan or motor reach proper speed during startup
• Commonly replaces capacitors that are weak, bulging or not holding charge
• May resolve symptoms like humming, intermittent starting, or motors that won't run

• One replacement capacitor

• Disconnect power at the breaker before attempting any service
• Verify capacitor is discharged and use insulated tools; capacitors can hold a dangerous charge
• Confirm compatibility with your appliance using model or serial number before ordering

A motor run capacitor that helps the appliance's motor start and run efficiently. Replacing a failing capacitor restores reliable motor operation and reduces motor noise or intermittent starting. What it does:

• Provides the phase shift needed for the motor to start and maintain proper running speed
• Commonly linked to symptoms like humming, slow or no motor start, or motors that start intermittently
• Stabilizes motor performance under load to prevent overheating or tripping
• Works as a direct replacement when matched to the original part number and electrical rating

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Capacitors can hold charge—discharge safely and verify voltage is zero before handling
• Replace with the exact part number or equivalent rating; do not mix ratings or types

This electrical capacitor stores and releases energy to help the appliance's electrical system operate smoothly and reliably. Replacing a failed capacitor restores proper electrical performance and can prevent erratic motor or control behavior. What it does:

• Provides short-term energy storage for motors and control circuits to start and run correctly
• Helps prevent motor hesitation, intermittent stopping, or weak starts when failing
• Reduces electrical noise and helps stabilize voltage to sensitive control components
• Commonly replaced when symptoms include humming, failure to start, or erratic operation

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any service to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the capacitor carefully; follow proper discharge and safety procedures before touching terminals
• Replace with the exact part number and specifications to ensure correct fit and safe operation

This running capacitor restores proper motor operation by providing the phase shift needed for fan and compressor motors. It helps motors run smoothly and reduces overheating or hard-start symptoms when the original capacitor fails. What it does:

• Provides the steady electrical phase shift required for motor operation in refrigeration and HVAC systems
• Helps restore normal motor starting and running performance
• Can reduce motor overheating, humming, or intermittent operation caused by a bad capacitor
• Used when the motor runs poorly, won't reach full speed, or cycles unusually

• 1 running capacitor

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify the appliance is de-energized before servicing
• Discharge the capacitor with an insulated tool and wear insulated gloves and eye protection
• Replace with the same type and mounting orientation; secure all wire connections firmly
