Electrolux Microwave Capacitor

Compressor start capacitor that helps the refrigerator compressor start reliably so the appliance can maintain proper cooling. Replace a weak or failed capacitor to reduce hard-starting, excessive humming, or loss of cooling. What it does:

• Provides the starting boost the compressor needs to reach running speed.
• Commonly linked to symptoms like compressor humming but not starting, warm refrigerator, or frequent on/off cycling.
• Works with the compressor start circuit; a failed capacitor can prevent the compressor from starting.
• Visible damage, leakage, or failed electrical tests indicate replacement is needed.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing the capacitor.
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock.
• Note wire locations or photograph connections before removal; reconnect wires exactly.

This motor start/run capacitor helps the compressor and fan motors start and run reliably, restoring normal cooling performance when a failing capacitor causes hard starts or intermittent motor operation. A direct-replacement component for affected units. What it does:

• Provides the electrical phase shift and stored energy needed for compressor and fan motor startup.
• Helps prevent slow starts, humming, or motors that won't start reliably.
• Restores stable motor operation and can reduce overheating or tripping caused by a weak capacitor.
• Works as a replacement for the same OEM-design capacitor in compatible refrigerators and freezers.

• One replacement capacitor (single unit)

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the capacitor to avoid shock.
• Verify capacitor is fully discharged before handling; use insulated tools and follow safety procedures.
• Match the capacitor's mounting and terminal type to the existing part for correct fit and connection.

This motor capacitor helps start and run appliance electric motors by providing the brief boost of power the motor needs to reach operating speed. Replaces a failed capacitor to restore normal motor starting and performance. What it does:

• Provides the electrical phase shift and momentary voltage boost motors need to start and run
• Commonly replaced when a motor hums, will not start, or runs weakly
• Helps stabilize motor operation and reduce hard starting stresses
• Resolves intermittent or failed motor startup symptoms when capacitor is the root cause

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing or replacing the capacitor
• Discharge stored voltage in the capacitor before handling to avoid shock
• Verify terminal connections and orientation match the original before installation
