This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to support the appliance's circuit during startup and operation. Replacing a weakened capacitor can restore reliable performance and reduce humming, hard starting, or stalling in the affected component.

• Provides a power boost at startup and helps stabilize voltage during operation
• Helps the connected component start promptly and operate smoothly under load
• Common failure signs include humming, slow or no start, or intermittent operation
• Contribute to overheating or a tripped breaker/fuse when the component tries to start

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance. Before handling, safely discharge the old capacitor using a proper resistor-rated tool.
