Description

This motor start capacitor helps the appliance's motor start and run more reliably by providing the extra torque needed at startup. Replacing a worn capacitor can restore normal motor operation and reduce hard-start symptoms. What it does:

• Supplies a short surge of power to the motor at startup to help it turn over
• Commonly replaced when the motor hums, struggles to start, or won't start at all
• Helps prevent repeated hard starting that can stress the motor and controls
• Works as a single electrical component; compatibility varies by model

What's included: One capacitor Install notes:

• Electrical component — disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Verify capacitor discharge before touching terminals to avoid shock
• Inspect wiring and terminal connections; replace any damaged connectors
