This motor start/run capacitor stores and releases energy to help an AC motor start smoothly and maintain proper torque. Replacing a weak or failed capacitor can restore reliable operation and reduce strain on the motor and controls.

• Provides the phase shift needed for single-phase AC motor starting and running
• Helps the motor start quickly and maintain torque under load
• Can stabilize current draw and reduce excessive humming or stalling
• Common failure signs: motor hums but won't start, intermittently stalls, trips thermal overload, or runs weakly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Safely discharge the old capacitor per manufacturer procedure before handling
• Note wire positions; transfer leads to the same terminals and mount securely
• After replacement, test operation; check the motor, wiring, and related start components
