This compressor start capacitor helps the refrigerator compressor get up to speed for reliable cooling. It replaces a failed start device to restore normal compressor startup and reduce hard-starting or long-run cycles. What it does:
- Provides the extra torque the compressor motor needs to start.
- Helps prevent long crank times, loud humming, or repeated start attempts.
- Can reduce stress on the compressor and starting relay when functioning properly.
- Commonly replaced when the fridge won't start or cooling is intermittent.
What's included:
- One replacement capacitor.
Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
- Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock.
- Verify terminal connections and mount orientation match the original part.
