About This Part
The capacitor gives the motor the electrical kick it needs to start and run smoothly. When it degrades the motor hums without starting, needs a nudge to get going, or cuts out under load. A new capacitor restores reliable starting.
Many owners fit this themselves; if you’d rather not, any local repairer can fit the part you supply.
