• Helps block outside air and moisture from entering through the vent
• Wear or damage can cause poor venting, rattling noises, or a stuck exterior flap
• Restores vent performance after the original damper is bent, warped, or missing

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the exhaust outlet and remove the old damper; note airflow orientation
• Install so the flap swings freely and seats closed; avoid overtightening fasteners
• Run the fan to verify smooth damper movement and proper airflow

This run capacitor helps the appliance's motor start and run smoothly by providing a phase-shifted electrical boost. Replacing a worn capacitor restores reliable motor operation and can stop start-up problems and irregular running. What it does:

• Provides the motor with the extra electrical charge needed for starting and stable operation
• Commonly linked to symptoms like hard-starting, a loud humming motor, or motors that won't start
• Stabilizes motor speed and reduces stress on the motor and start components
• Works as a direct replacement for the original capacitor specified for the motor circuit

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock hazard
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals; capacitors can hold a charge after power is removed
• Use insulated tools and avoid bridging terminals during handling

Replacement transformer that provides low-voltage power to the appliance control system, restoring reliable power to the control board and display. Use when the appliance is unresponsive or shows blank/noisy controls due to a failed transformer. What it does:
