Kitchenaid Capacitor

The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is an electronic component that assists in powering the refrigerator's compressor motor. The capacitor functions to provide an electrical boost needed to start the compressor running smoothly during each cooling cycle.

Causes of a bad capacitor can include deterioration of dielectric material over many years of operation or accidental moisture penetration into the capacitor case.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• The refrigerator compressor failing to turn on/refrigeration cycles not operating
• Loud humming noises coming from behind the refrigerator
• Erratic cooling performance and fluctuating interior temperatures

This OEM part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Admiral, and Kenmore refrigerator models. 

The Washer Capacitor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is an essential electrical component that plays a crucial role in starting and running the washer motor efficiently.

Symptoms of a bad washer capacitor include:

• The washer not starting or failing to run
• Humming or buzzing noises from the motor during operation
• Error codes or indicators related to motor or electrical issues

Causes of a faulty capacitor can range from normal wear and tear over time to electrical surges, overheating, or physical damage.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore washing machine models. 

The Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers that starts the motor by storing electrical energy and releasing it when the washer begins its cycle. This part ensures the washer operates smoothly from the moment it starts, providing the necessary jolt to the motor that enables it to begin its various functions, including spinning and agitating. 

Causes of a bad capacitor can vary. Electrical surges can harm its internal components, while wear and tear over time may result in a reduced capacity to hold a charge.

Symptoms of a failing Capacitor include:

• The washer failing to start.
• A humming noise when the washer is supposed to begin its cycle 
• The washer starting but then quickly shutting down due to insufficient power to the motor.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This magnetron capacitor is the microwave high-voltage capacitor that helps supply the magnetron with the pulse of energy needed to produce heat. Replacing a failing capacitor restores normal heating performance and reduces arcing or loud humming. What it does

• Stores and releases the high-voltage pulse required by the magnetron so the microwave can generate heat.
• Prevents unstable magnetron operation that can cause weak or no heating.
• Common symptoms of a failing capacitor: oven runs but doesn't heat, intermittent heating, loud buzzing/humming, or visible arcing inside the cavity.
• A failed capacitor can also cause blown internal fuses or tripped circuits.

• One capacitor.

• Disconnect power and verify the appliance is completely de-energized before servicing.
• Capacitors can hold dangerous charge; discharge the capacitor safely with an insulated tool.
• Use the exact replacement part and follow the appliance service manual for routing and connections.

The Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool range hoods. This capacitor functions to optimize blower motor performance. It works in tandem with the motor to efficiently expel cooking vapors and gases from the kitchen.

Causes relate to standard wear over extended use of the vent hood. Electrical issues can cause premature capacitor failure.  

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• Reduced air circulation and weaker ventilation
• Abnormal humming or grinding noises from the motor
• Failure of the blower to turn on as desired

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This motor run capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run more smoothly, restoring proper motor performance and reducing hum or startup problems. It's a direct-replacement electrical component used in compatible Whirlpool appliances. What it does:

• Provides the phase-shifted current the motor needs to start and maintain normal operation
• Helps reduce motor humming, slow starts, or intermittent motor stalls
• Restores proper motor torque and efficiency when the original capacitor has failed
• Works as the electrical timing/storing component for motor cycles

• One motor run capacitor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting replacement to avoid electrical shock
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals; use insulated tools and follow safe procedures
• Match terminal configuration and mounting to the original part

This running capacitor restores proper motor operation by providing the phase shift needed for fan and compressor motors. It helps motors run smoothly and reduces overheating or hard-start symptoms when the original capacitor fails. What it does:

• Provides the steady electrical phase shift required for motor operation in refrigeration and HVAC systems
• Helps restore normal motor starting and running performance
• Can reduce motor overheating, humming, or intermittent operation caused by a bad capacitor
• Used when the motor runs poorly, won't reach full speed, or cycles unusually

• 1 running capacitor

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify the appliance is de-energized before servicing
• Discharge the capacitor with an insulated tool and wear insulated gloves and eye protection
• Replace with the same type and mounting orientation; secure all wire connections firmly
