Description

Capacitor supplies a short burst of stored electrical energy to help the appliance motor start and run efficiently. Replacing a failing capacitor can restore reliable motor startup and reduce humming or intermittent operation. What it does

• Provides the electrical boost motors need to start and maintain proper speed.
• A failing capacitor commonly causes motors to hum, struggle to start, run slowly, or stop unexpectedly.
• Used on motors and fans that require a start/run assist; replacing a bad capacitor often resolves startup and intermittent operation issues.

What's included One capacitor. Install notes

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before accessing electrical components.
• Discharge the capacitor safely (use insulated tools and gloves) before touching terminals — capacitors can hold a dangerous charge.
• Photograph or label wiring and terminal locations before removal so replacements reconnect exactly the same way.
