Hi Rafael. This capacitor is used with freezers. It is part # 297286812. Sorry @ the no picture view, but it is widely used on kenmore and frigidare model #'s. Just as long as the Voltage and M.F.D Rating on the new part is equal to or slightly larger figures, it will work. Thank You. Hola Rafael. Este condensador se utiliza con congeladores. Es parte # 297286812. Lo siento @ el no ver, pero es ampliamente utilizado en kenmore y frigidare modelo #'s. Simplemente, como la tensión y la clasificación de M.F.D en la parte nueva es iguales o ligeramente más grandes figuras, que funciona. Gracias.
