Description
The CAPACITOR is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. As a crucial electrical component, the capacitor works to start and run the compressor motor safely. It prevents voltage fluctuations and helps extend the life of the compressor.
Causes of a bad capacitor can include failure over time due to heat cycling inside the refrigerator or freezer. Capacitors do not last forever with constant use.
Symptoms of a bad or failing capacitor include:
- Compressor not starting or running intermittently
- Loud humming or buzzing sounds coming from the refrigerator
- Temperature control issues with cooling performance
- Frost or ice buildup inside refrigerator or freezer
Replacing the capacitor with this OEM Whirlpool part restores the reliable startup and operation of the refrigerator's compressor. It keeps contents safely stored at the proper temperature.
This replacement capacitor is also compatible for use in Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore-brand refrigerators.
