Description

This electrical capacitor stores and releases energy to help appliance motors start and run smoothly. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore proper motor start-up, reduce humming, and bring fans or compressors back to normal operation. What it does

• Provides the phase shift and extra torque needed for AC motor start-up
• Maintains proper capacitance for steady motor running
• Helps prevent motor humming, stalling, or intermittent operation
• Common failure signs: motor hums but won't start, fan/compressor won't engage, runs slowly, or the capacitor case is swollen/leaking

What's included

• 1 capacitor

Install notes

• Disconnect power before servicing; capacitors can retain a charge after power is removed
• Safely discharge the capacitor and handle with insulated tools per manufacturer procedures
• Photograph/label wires and transfer to the same terminals one at a time
• Match the electrical ratings on the original part and secure the capacitor/bracket as originally installed
