Helping You Make the Right Choice

What is a washing machine capacitor?
A capacitor is an electrical component used in washing machines to start and run the motor efficiently by creating a phase shift in the current.
Capacitors are used to: Provide starting torque for single-phase motors. Improve motor efficiency. Ensure smooth drum rotation during wash and spin cycles.
Usually found: Near the motor inside the rear or bottom panel. In semi-automatic machines, you may find two capacitors, one for each motor (wash and spin).
If the capacitor is fault: The motor may not start. You may hear a humming noise without movement. The drum may rotate slowly or in only one direction.
