Handle trim replaces the decorative pan that surrounds a door handle to restore a clean, finished appearance and cover fasteners. Use when existing trim is cracked, chipped, faded, or missing to improve the appliance's look. What it does:

• Covers and protects the handle mounting area and hides screws for a seamless appearance
• Replaces cracked, chipped, faded, or missing trim that can collect dirt or show wear
• Restores the original finished look around the handle for improved aesthetics
• Matches the original part's placement and attachment points for straightforward replacement

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off circuit) before starting any repair
• Follow the appliance service manual for handle/door removal steps; retain original mounting hardware unless replacements are specified
• Typically installs with existing screws—do not force or modify the part

Capacitor supplies a short burst of stored electrical energy to help the appliance motor start and run efficiently. Replacing a failing capacitor can restore reliable motor startup and reduce humming or intermittent operation. What it does

• Provides the electrical boost motors need to start and maintain proper speed.
• A failing capacitor commonly causes motors to hum, struggle to start, run slowly, or stop unexpectedly.
• Used on motors and fans that require a start/run assist; replacing a bad capacitor often resolves startup and intermittent operation issues.

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor safely (use insulated tools and gloves) before touching terminals — capacitors can hold a dangerous charge.
• Photograph or label wiring and terminal locations before removal so replacements reconnect exactly the same way.
