Description

This capacitor helps the appliance motor start and run more smoothly, restoring reliable motor operation and reducing hard-start symptoms. It's a direct-fit replacement when the original capacitor fails. What it does:

• Provides the initial electrical boost to start the motor and helps maintain stable motor operation
• Commonly replaces a failed or weak capacitor that causes the motor to hum, not start, stall, or run inconsistently
• Works with the appliance's existing control and motor components to restore normal performance
• Uses the same mounting and terminal layout as the original for a straightforward replacement

What's included: One replacement capacitor (quantity: 1) Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing the capacitor
• Discharge the capacitor before handling—capacitors can store a dangerous charge even when unplugged
• Take note of terminal locations or photograph wiring before removal to ensure correct reconnection
