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.
What's included: One fan motor capacitor. Install notes:
- 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.
