The Run Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances, designed to provide the necessary electrical charge to start and run the compressor motor. This part attaches to the compressor to aids in maintaining a consistent motor speed and ensuring smooth operation. The run capacitor plays a crucial role in the appliance's electrical system, storing and releasing energy as needed to power the motor.

Causes of a bad Run Capacitor include electrical surges, wear and tear over time, or overheating, which can lead to a failure in providing the necessary start-up energy or maintaining motor speed.

Symptoms of a bad Run Capacitor include:

• The appliance does not start.
• The motor shuts off shortly after starting.
• The appliance is humming but not running.
• Increased energy consumption.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Starter is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire refrigerators. This component is crucial for initiating the compressor, which is responsible for cooling the refrigerator. The starter works by providing the necessary electrical power to get the compressor running, ensuring that the refrigerator maintains the correct temperature.

Causes of a bad starter can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear over time, or damage from power surges. A faulty starter can prevent the compressor from starting, leading to cooling issues.

Symptoms of a bad Starter include:

• The refrigerator not cooling properly
• The compressor not running or frequently cycling on and off
• Unusual clicking or buzzing noises from the compressor area
• The refrigerator being warmer than usual or food spoiling quickly

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This replacement capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to support proper operation of the appliance's circuit. Replacing a weakened or failed capacitor restores reliable startup and smooth performance in the affected component.

• Stores electrical energy and delivers a brief boost during startup as designed by the circuit
• Helps stabilize operation, reducing humming, stalling, or overheating from a weak capacitor
• Common signs include motors that hum but won't start, intermittent operation, breaker trips
• Visual clues of failure: swollen case, leaking oil, or burnt odor

• Disconnect power and verify no voltage is present before servicing
• Properly discharge the old capacitor using safe, approved procedures
• Note wire positions or take a photo; transfer leads to the matching terminals securely
• Mount securely in the existing bracket/strap; keep terminals clear of contact and test operation

This capacitor helps start and run the refrigerator's compressor and/or fan motors so the appliance cools reliably. Replaces a worn or failed capacitor to restore normal motor operation and reduce hard-starting. What it does:

• Provides the initial electrical boost motors need to start turning
• Helps maintain steady motor speed during operation
• Commonly linked to symptoms like compressors that hum but don't start
• Needed if refrigerator cycles frequently or cooling is inconsistent

• One capacitor

• Disconnect power before accessing electrical components
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock
• Verify wiring and terminal orientation before reconnecting

A fan motor run capacitor that helps the appliance fan start and maintain smooth operation. Replacing a failed capacitor restores proper airflow and can help recover normal cooling performance when the original part wears out. What it does:

• Provides the phase shift and stored energy needed for the fan motor to start and run reliably.
• Common symptoms of a failing capacitor: fan not starting, fan humming or running intermittently, reduced airflow, or poor cooling performance.
• Used where a dedicated run capacitor is required for the appliance fan motor.
• Does not include installation tools or wiring harnesses.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
• Capacitors can hold a charge; discharge safely before touching terminals or disconnecting wires.
• Note terminal wiring positions (take a photo) to ensure correct reconnection.

A replacement motor start/run capacitor that helps the refrigerator's compressor and fan motors start and run more reliably. Restores proper motor operation when the original capacitor has failed or weakened. What it does:

• Provides the boost of electrical charge motors need to start and maintain proper running speed
• Commonly linked to symptoms such as a humming compressor, motors that won't start, or intermittent cooling
• Helps stabilize motor performance and reduce hard-starting that can strain components
• Used in refrigeration motor circuits that require a start/run capacitor

• One motor start/run capacitor

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Capacitors can hold a charge—discharge safely
• Inspect mounting and wiring; replace using the same terminal connections and secure mounting

This compressor start capacitor helps the refrigerator compressor get up to speed for reliable cooling. It replaces a failed start device to restore normal compressor startup and reduce hard-starting or long-run cycles. What it does:

• Provides the extra torque the compressor motor needs to start.
• Helps prevent long crank times, loud humming, or repeated start attempts.
• Can reduce stress on the compressor and starting relay when functioning properly.
• Commonly replaced when the fridge won't start or cooling is intermittent.

• One replacement capacitor.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any work.
• Discharge the capacitor before touching terminals to avoid shock.
• Verify terminal connections and mount orientation match the original part.
