Whirlpool Washer Capacitor

The Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part helps regulate power supply and voltage levels. It smooths out voltage fluctuations to ensure consistent operation of the motor and internal components.

Causes of a bad capacitor can include faulty wiring connections, or simply wear and tear over time. Capacitors have a limited lifespan based on usage and wear.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• The washer failing to start or not completing cycles
• Unusual noises coming from the motor area
• Fluctuating water levels and inconsistent filling
• Lights dimming when the washer is running

This genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Washer Capacitor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is an essential electrical component that plays a crucial role in starting and running the washer motor efficiently.

Symptoms of a bad washer capacitor include:

• The washer not starting or failing to run
• Humming or buzzing noises from the motor during operation
• Error codes or indicators related to motor or electrical issues

Causes of a faulty capacitor can range from normal wear and tear over time to electrical surges, overheating, or physical damage.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore washing machine models. 

The Capacitor is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool brand clothes washers. It is an essential electronic part that helps control power distribution to the direct drive motor during cycles.

Symptoms of a faulty capacitor include:

• The washer fails to agitate or spin clothes properly  
• Noisy or grinding sounds coming from the motor area
• Inability to complete cycles or unexpected shutoffs

Some causes can be normal with a capacitor drying out over time. Heavy loads, unbalanced spin cycles, or liquid spills putting excess strain on motor components may also damage the capacitor. 

This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore brand washers.

The Capacitor is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washers. This capacitor regulates and distributes the electrical current throughout the washer. It powers the motor and other electrical components, allowing them to function properly.

Over time, heavy usage and normal wear and tear can cause degradation of the capacitor.

Symptoms of a bad capacitor include:

• The washer fails to agitate or spin during the wash cycle
• Abnormal sounds coming from the motor area
• Lights or control panel not working properly
• The washer fails to start or run at all

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washers that starts the motor by storing electrical energy and releasing it when the washer begins its cycle. This part ensures the washer operates smoothly from the moment it starts, providing the necessary jolt to the motor that enables it to begin its various functions, including spinning and agitating. 

Causes of a bad capacitor can vary. Electrical surges can harm its internal components, while wear and tear over time may result in a reduced capacity to hold a charge.

Symptoms of a failing Capacitor include:

• The washer failing to start.
• A humming noise when the washer is supposed to begin its cycle 
• The washer starting but then quickly shutting down due to insufficient power to the motor.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Capacitor is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part stores and releases electrical energy to help start the washer's motor and maintain its operation during wash cycles. 

Causes of a bad capacitor can include electrical surges, overheating, or degradation over time.  

Symptoms of a bad Capacitor include:

• The washing machine not starting
• The motor humming but not running
• The washer stopping mid-cycle
• Unusual noises during operation

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This capacitor stores and releases electrical energy to give the appliance's circuit the boost and stability it needs to start and run properly. Replacing a weak or shorted capacitor can restore reliable operation and reduce strain on related components. What it does

• Provides an energy boost and stabilizes voltage in the designated start/run or power circuit
• Helps motors or power sections energize smoothly and maintain performance
• A failing capacitor may cause humming/buzzing, failure to start or heat, intermittent operation, or tripped fuse/breaker
• May show swelling or signs of overheating around the case or terminals

• 1 capacitor

• Disconnect power before service; capacitors can hold a charge—use a proper discharge procedure before handling
• Note/photograph wire locations; move leads to matching terminals and ensure tight connections
• Mount securely in the original position; re-use brackets/insulators as applicable and keep wiring clear of sharp edges or heat
• After replacement, check the related motor or circuit components if symptoms persist
