This electromechanical SPDT 24V relay switches a single circuit between two outputs to control motors, valves, or heaters. It provides the reliable on/off switching appliances need to run specific components when commanded. What it does:

• Energizes a 24V coil to open or close the common contact to the normally open or normally closed contact
• Controls motors, pumps, fans, or heating elements when the appliance control board sends a 24V signal
• Common replacement when an appliance component does not start or cycles incorrectly due to a failed relay
• Designed for panel or chassis mounting in appliance control systems

• Turn off and unplug the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury.
• Verify connector orientation and terminal fit; match wire positions exactly when replacing.
• If soldering or crimping, use appropriate tools and make secure connections to prevent intermittent faults.

This insulated wire nut secures and electrically connects two or more appliance wires with a twist-on connection to help maintain a reliable circuit and reduce the risk of loose conductors or shorting. What it does:

• Joins and secures stranded or solid wires for power and control connections
• Creates an insulated, twist-on electrical connection to help prevent shorts
• Helps maintain reliable contact in areas subject to vibration
• Suitable for routine wire splicing and repairs where an OEM wire nut is specified

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing electrical connections
• Strip wire insulation to the appliance manufacturer's recommended length before connecting
• Insert wires fully, then twist the connector until tight and verify a secure mechanical and electrical connection

This oval run capacitor provides the necessary phase-shift for single-phase appliance motors, helping them run smoothly and reliably. It replaces a failed run capacitor to restore normal motor performance and reduce motor stress. What it does

• Supplies the motor with steady run capacitance to maintain rotation and efficiency
• Commonly associated with symptoms like motor humming, slow or no start, or intermittent motor operation
• Helps prevent overheating and excessive current draw when functioning properly
• Works as a direct replacement when the original is the same shape, voltage rating, and terminal configuration

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electric shock
• Discharge the capacitor safely before touching terminals (use an insulated tool with proper procedure)
• Replace only with a capacitor that matches the original's voltage rating, capacitance, and terminal layout
