The Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers. It is responsible for starting the motor and keeping it running smoothly during the washing cycle. It stores electrical energy and delivers it to the motor when needed, providing the necessary power for the washer to function properly.
A bad washer capacitor can occur due to electrical malfunctions, wear and tear, or damage to the capacitor itself. If you notice symptoms such as the washer not starting or spinning, the motor making unusual noises, or the washer not completing cycles, it may be time to replace the washer capacitor.
Symptoms of a bad washer capacitor include:
- Washer not starting or spinning
- Unusual noises coming from the motor
- Incomplete cycles or erratic behavior
Repair your washer by replacing the faulty or worn-out washer capacitor with this genuine OEM part.
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
