Description
This run capacitor helps the refrigerator compressor start and run smoothly, restoring normal operation when a weak or failed capacitor causes the compressor to struggle. Replacing a faulty capacitor can reduce humming and improve cooling performance. What it does:
- Provides continuous phase-shift to the compressor motor for stable running.
- Helps maintain proper compressor speed and efficiency during operation.
- Commonly replaced when the compressor hums, won't stay running, or cooling is inconsistent.
- Reduces risk of repeated motor cycling caused by a weak or open capacitor.
What's included: One run capacitor. Install notes:
- Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
- Discharge the capacitor before handling; capacitors can hold a charge even when powered off.
- Observe terminal orientation and mounting location; replace with the same type and ratings.
