Parts for Kenmore 758.72981 (75872981, 758 72981): Functional Replacement Parts

A round run capacitor that helps the motor run smoothly by storing and releasing electrical energy during operation. Replacing a failing run capacitor can restore normal motor start/run performance and reduce overheating or noise. What it does:

• Provides continuous phase shift for motor start and stable running under load
• Commonly linked to motors that hum, run weakly, overheat, or fail to reach full speed
• Stabilizes electrical current to reduce stress on motor windings
• Helps prevent frequent motor cycling and improves overall reliability

• One round run capacitor

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before beginning work
• Discharge the capacitor using an insulated tool and verify no residual voltage
• Replace with the exact capacitor specifications (capacitance and voltage) and ensure correct terminal connections

This locking caster assembly replaces a worn or damaged wheel brake to keep your appliance stationary during use. It restores the caster's locking function for safer, more stable operation. What it does:

• Locks the appliance wheel to prevent unwanted movement while in use
• Replaces a broken, bent or non-locking caster wheel
• Helps stop an appliance that drifts or moves on smooth floors
• Matches the OEM part name and mounts in place of the original brake caster

• Disconnect power and empty the appliance before working; unplug or shut off power at the breaker
• Support or tilt the appliance per the manufacturer instructions to access the caster area; get a helper for heavy units
• Remove mounting fasteners and swap the old caster for the new unit; reuse fasteners only if in good condition
• Test the wheel and locking mechanism after installation to ensure the brake engages and holds
