This Top Load Washer Start Capacitor briefly increases the voltage to the motor to help the motor start. If your washer motor won't start or hums, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. Remove the washer console and then the spring clips that hold the body to the frame of the washer. Transfer the old foam shield holding the old capacitor to the new part before installing it. This high-quality, durable replacement part is easy to install with basic hand tools, such as a multi-screwdriver. It only requires some disassembly of the washer and novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner* (item W10501250) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
