Room Air Conditioner Switch

This capacitor helps the refrigerator compressor start and run more reliably, restoring normal cooling performance when the original capacitor has failed. It's a direct replacement part used with the compressor motor. What it does

• Provides the electrical boost the compressor motor needs to start and maintain proper rotation.
• Helps prevent hard-starting or humming noises from the compressor.
• A failing capacitor can cause the compressor not to start, intermittent cooling, or repeated circuit breaker trips.
• Works as part of the compressor start/run system—replace if testing shows an open or out-of-spec capacitor.

• One replacement capacitor.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock.
• Capacitors can hold charge—discharge safely and verify with a meter before touching terminals.
• Inspect mounting hardware and wiring; replace any damaged terminals or clips.
