• Provides the initial boost or timing signal the motor needs to start turning
• Commonly replaces a failed start component when the motor hums but won't begin running
• Helps stop repeated start attempts that can overload the motor or trip protection
• Works as part of the motor starting circuit to ensure smooth startup

What's included: One start device. Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the part carefully and match connectors/terminals to the original during replacement
• Basic hand tools are typically required; keep track of screws and wire routing
