General Electric Range Hood Capacitor

This capacitor helps the appliance's motor/compressor start and run smoothly by providing a short electrical boost at startup. Replacing a faulty capacitor restores reliable motor operation and can stop intermittent starting or unusual humming. What it does:

• Provides the temporary surge of electrical energy needed for motor/compressor startup
• Stabilizes motor operation to prevent slow starts, stalling, or continuous humming
• Helps maintain consistent motor speed during normal cycles
• Reduces stress on the motor's start circuit to avoid premature wear

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the capacitor
• Discharge the capacitor safely before handling (capacitors can hold charge after power is removed)
• Compare terminal type and mounting method to ensure correct fit before installation

This motor start/run capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run smoothly, restoring proper motor performance and reducing strain. Replace a failing capacitor to address motor start problems and intermittent operation. What it does:

• Provides the electrical boost motors need to start and maintain RPM
• Helps prevent motor hesitating, sluggish starts, or failure to start
• Can reduce motor overheating and tripping caused by poor starting torque
• Works with the motor's electrical circuit to stabilize operation during run cycles

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing.
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock.
• Match wiring and terminal orientation to the original part; secure connections tightly.

This pre-wired capacitor replaces the factory capacitor used to help start and stabilize appliance motors and controls. The attached lead wires make hookup straightforward for compatible appliance connections. What it does

• Provides the necessary capacitance to help motors start and run smoothly
• Helps stabilize electrical signals to reduce motor stalling or inconsistent operation
• Addresses humming, failure-to-start, or intermittent motor performance when the capacitor is faulty
• Used wherever a compact, pre-wired run/start capacitor is required by the appliance

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Capacitors can hold a charge; discharge safely
• Verify terminal style, polarity (if applicable), and electrical rating match the original part before installation
