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.
What's included:
- One replacement capacitor (single unit)
Install notes:
- 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.
