Part W11395618
Purpose
Washer motor run capacitor—provides consistent voltage to the motor for reliable operation
Details
This OEM run capacitor ensures the washer’s motor receives stable electrical power during agitation and spinning cycles. By maintaining proper phase shift and torque, it helps the motor start and rotate smoothly. A failing capacitor may cause the washer to hum, spin slowly, or fail to spin at all—replacing it resolves these issues and restores dependable performance.
Compatible Models
