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.

This retainer is a small retaining clip used to secure trim, panels, or internal components in place so moving parts stay aligned and vibration is reduced. It restores proper fit and helps stop rattles or loose trim. What it does:

• Secures panels, trim pieces, or small assemblies to their mounting points
• Prevents migration and vibration of the attached part that can cause rattling
• Restores proper alignment and fit of the secured component
• Common symptom: loose trim, rattling, or a panel that won't stay seated

• One retainer clip

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid electrical hazard
• Remove surrounding trim or access panel to reach the retaining location
• Press or snap the retainer into place; use appropriate hand tools if needed and avoid excessive force
• Inspect mating parts and replace any damaged clips or fasteners for a reliable repair

Replacement clip for refrigerators and freezers. Secures shelves, bins, or internal components. Order when original clip is broken, cracked, or missing.

This extension is a replacement support piece that helps restore proper alignment and secure fit for the affected appliance component, improving function and preventing binding. It's a small structural part used where a factory extension is required. What it does

• Provides structural support and alignment for the mating part or assembly
• Helps restore smooth movement and prevent rubbing or binding of sliding components
• Addresses symptoms such as loose trim, uneven panels, or a drawer/panel that won't seat properly
• Useful when the original extension is cracked, broken, or missing

• One extension piece as pictured

• Disconnect power (and water if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Basic hand tools are typically required; avoid forcing fasteners or assemblies
• Inspect mating parts for damage and replace any additional worn components for best results

This wire assembly connects the capacitor to the appliance's motor or control, restoring a secure electrical path for reliable start/run operation. Replaces a damaged or worn harness to help resolve starting and intermittent power issues. What it does:

• Provides insulated wiring and terminals to link the capacitor to the motor or control
• Ensures a secure electrical connection for proper start/run signaling
• Can resolve symptoms such as failure to start, humming or intermittent motor starting
• Prevents shorts or arcing from frayed or damaged wiring when functioning correctly

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Capacitors can hold a dangerous charge — have the capacitor safely discharged before disconnecting wires
• Match connectors and routing to the original harness; secure wires away from moving parts and heat sources
