Washing Machine Motor Capacitor

Function of the Washing Machine Motor Capacitor:

The capacitor provides an extra boost of electrical power to help the motor start when the washing machine begins its cycle.

It helps maintain the motor's speed and efficiency during operation, ensuring that it runs smoothly.

By helping the motor run more effectively, the capacitor can improve the overall energy efficiency of the washing machine.

The capacitor helps regulate the power going to the motor, preventing it from overloading and overheating.

Symptoms that Indicate the Need to Replace the Motor Capacitor:

One of the most common signs of a faulty capacitor is when the motor doesn’t start at all or only hums without turning. This occurs because the capacitor isn't providing the necessary power for the motor to begin running.

If the washing machine motor is making unusual buzzing or clicking noises, it could be a sign that the capacitor is no longer functioning properly.

If the washing machine starts a cycle but stops abruptly, especially during the spin or agitation phase, the motor may not be getting the proper power from the capacitor.

If the motor starts up slowly or the agitation cycle is delayed, the capacitor could be failing and not providing enough power for smooth motor operation.

If the motor is overheating or the washing machine trips the circuit breaker during operation, this could be due to a malfunctioning capacitor affecting the motor’s power regulation.
