General Electric Washer Capacitor

The Capacitor is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It stores and releases electrical energy to help start the motor and regulate its speed, ensuring the washer operates efficiently and reliably. This component is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of the washing machine.

Causes of a bad capacitor can include electrical surges, wear and tear from regular use, or physical damage due to impact. Over time, capacitors can degrade, leading to reduced functionality or complete failure. Regular inspection can help identify potential issues early.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• The washer not starting or struggling to start
• Motor running inconsistently or not at full speed
• Unusual noises during operation
• Error codes related to motor function

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This line filter reduces electrical interference and helps protect the appliance's control electronics from power-line noise for more reliable operation. It's a direct-replacement electrical filter used inside the appliance power circuit. What it does:

• Filters incoming power to reduce electrical noise and interference that can affect controls
• Helps prevent intermittent or erratic behavior of electronic control boards
• Protects sensitive electronics from voltage spikes and line disturbances

• One line filter

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Access typically requires removing an access panel; keep track of fasteners and wire locations
• Handle electrical terminals carefully; ensure secure, correct reconnections

This replacement capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run smoothly, restoring normal operation when the original capacitor fails. It's a direct-fit electrical component designed to bring back reliable motor performance. What it does:

• Provides the start/run electrical boost the motor needs to spin up and maintain proper speed
• Commonly used when the motor hums but won't start or the appliance won't fully power on
• Can prevent intermittent motor stalling or slow operation caused by a failing capacitor
• Works as the electrical timing/phase component that supports efficient motor cycling

• Always disconnect the appliance from power before servicing
• Discharge the capacitor before handling to avoid shock; use insulated tools and follow OEM instructions
• Inspect mounting and wiring; match terminal type and orientation to the original part
