Description
The Capacitor is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is part of the refrigerator's compressor motor, responsible for providing the initial energy needed to start the motor and keep it running smoothly. It stores electrical energy and releases it in a controlled manner to provide the necessary boost for the motor to start running.
A bad capacitor can occur due to electrical surges, component failure, or age-related degradation. If you notice symptoms such as the compressor not starting, frequent cycling on and off, or unusual humming or buzzing noises, it may indicate a need to replace the capacitor.
Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:
- Compressor not starting
- Frequent cycling on and off
- Unusual humming or buzzing noises
Restore your refrigerator's compressor motor by replacing the faulty capacitor with this genuine OEM part.
This GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
